Since the end of the 19th century, explorers and colonial officials such as Duke Adolf Friedrich zu Mecklenburg have repeatedly brought people from Africa back to Germany on their return. Between 1905 and 1925, Africans therefore repeatedly stayed in Mecklenburg. Some only stayed for a few days, others for many years. The lecture describes how the local population reacted to these foreign visitors and how their lives then continued.
