Manuscripts – Extensive collection of over 100 documents and letters from the estate of the former imperial judicial inspector Hermann Rintisch. 1863-1946. Rintisch was apparently employed as a secretary in the government office of the German colony in Cameroon between 1905 and 1907. The collection includes payroll and porter lists for, among others, soldiers of the district office in Cameroon, certificates and references for Rintisch, confirmations of his employment, various invoices, as well as documents relating to his discharge into retirement. Among these are several letters from Albert Heinrich Schnee, director of the Imperial Colonial Office, as well as from Eduard Tigges, at that time president of the Berlin Kammergericht (Superior Court). Also included: maps of the German colonies on the African continent, buttons, photographs of women, images from "Uniformen der Marine und Schutztruppen" ("Uniforms of the Navy and Colonial Troops"), and a 25-franc coin from French Togo, dated 1937. Documents in places with more significant marginal wear and tears, the text itself is unaffected. Overall a well-preserved and extensive collection.
