Where exactly is Neu-Tegel? A search for clues between Reinickendorf and Cameroon

Lecture with historian Frank Drauschke – Book presentation

Spuren der Kolonialgeschichte in Reinickendorf - Collage Birgit Tümmers – Spuren der Kolonialgeschichte in Reinickendorf

While researching traces of colonial history in Reinickendorf, a previously unknown place in the German colony of Cameroon came to light: “Neu-Tegel bei Buea.” The lecture follows this trail from Cameroon to Tegel, exploring the origins of the name, the key figures involved, and the sources—and demonstrates how local history can be intertwined with German colonial rule.

The event will feature a presentation of the publication “Colonial Traces in Reinickendorf,” published in 2025.

Welcome by Dr. Sabine Ziegenrücker, Head of the Department of Art and HistoryTranslated with DeepL
