Instragram post: The Linden-Museum Stuttgart houses at least 6,680 cultural artifacts from Tanzania, including 450 belonging to the Chagga people of Kilimanjaro. These items entered the Linden-Museum collection during the German colonial period. Dr. Valence Silayo ist currently conducting systematic research on ethnographic materials. The project focuses on the cultural history, significance, and utilization of these artifacts, their relevance to today's society, and the context in which German colonial officials appropriated them.
The project is part of the reappraisal of German colonialism in present-day Tanzania, which has made considerable strides in recent years. Noteworthy examples include exhibitions at the Humboldt Forum, the Stade Museums, and other research initiatives. Visible progress has been made through civil society pressure, which led to the renaming of Petersallee to Maji-Maji-Allee in Berlin. Steps can also be seen at the highest political level, such as the visit of Federal President Steinmeier of Tanzania in 2023 and this year's visit to Germany by the Tanzanian National Committee for Discussions on the Return of Antiquities, Artefacts, and Human Remains from Germany.
