The territory of modern-day Tanzania has a chequered history. On account of its position on the Indian Ocean, the communities there became part of transregional trading networks early on. During German colonial rule, what is now Tanzania was part of the colony known as \u201cGerman East Africa\u201d (1884\/85\u20131918\/19); it subsequently became a British colony called \u201cTanganyika\u201d (until 1961). The impact of the oppression, exploitation, and violence perpetrated in the colonial period can still be felt today. During colonialism, thousands of cultural belongings were brought to Germany. More than 10,000 \u201cobjects\u201d from the territory of modern-day Tanzania are held by the Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin.<\/p>\n

There are plans to present this exhibition at the National Museum of Tanzania after it closes in Berlin. Preparations have been made for the permanent restitution of cultural belongings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
