Wunderbar, unsere Veranstaltung am Freitag ist schon plakatiert. Freue mich sehr, zusammen mit @jzurlage.bsky.social@coloniallegacy.bsky.social sprechen zu dürfen. Und schon die Plakate werden wirken, und auf diese vergessene Geschichte hinweisen.

Would be very interested in additional information as well, but unfortunately Hamburg's archival sources on particular ships for 17c are very limited, most only start in the late 18c. See recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5....recherche.staatsarchiv.hamburg.de/ScopeQuery5....
English involvement with Hamburg is covered in more depth for 18/19c, but I mention it briefly in relation to the Scandinavian companies operating in northern Germany in the text linked, which is focused on 17C (and to a lesser degree 1 and 4). kolonialismus.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/2024/03/27/h...
Of course, this online series should not be the last word on Hamburg’s involvement in slavery, on the contrary. I would love to hear about your work on the topic, particularly internationally, that is why I keep summarizing in English.
The map above is my attempt at a visual index of places mentioned in the series. See the link below for a zoomable version and a table of contents for all of the short case studies. Auto-translation should work fine for English. kolonialismus.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/2024/03/12/h...
This week, I published the last installment of my series on Hamburg’s involvement in slavery. Given the scope (1600-1900 and all inhabited continents), I had to select a total of 10 examples that are in my opinion emblematic to give a concise, yet accessible overview.
The link below provides an overview of Hamburg's involvement in the so-called coolie trade. Unfortunately, research on the German role in this business prior to the 1880s is very limited, I intend to publish more on the topic in the future. kolonialismus.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/2024/05/16/ham
