Carl Peters was one of the most controversial figures in German colonial history — the architect of German East Africa and a man so brutal in his methods that he was eventually dismissed from colonial service by the Kaiser's own government in 1897, following a tribunal that found him guilty of abusing his authority. Rehabilitating him on a commemorative note in 1921, two years after Germany had been stripped of its colonies under Versailles, was a deliberate political act.
The Deutsch-Hanseatischer Kolonialgedenktag was a Hamburg-based commemorative event, and this Notgeld series was issued as collector scrip rather than functional currency — part of a wave of politically motivated colonial nostalgia issues that flooded the German market in the early Weimar years. Peters, long dead by then, had been recast as a martyr of empire.
