Since 1884 did the German Empire, besides the long-established powers of Great Britain, France and the Netherlands, become the fourth-largest colonial power worldwide. Being a characteristic feature in this context, German colonialism was, with its colonies in Africa (German East- and Southwest Africa, Cameroon and Togo), East Asia (Tsingtau/Kiatschou in today China) and Oceania (German Guinea and Samoa) a truly global project within its geopolitical setup, and it produced, despite its rather short period of existence of mere some thirty years (1884-1914), an astonishingly rich and extensive construction activity, the structural remains of which survived surprisingly well until today. This research project reacts to this context with a twofold project design: Module 1 (termed German-colonial architecture 1884-1914 - a global project) aims to conceptualise this construction activity from a historical viewpoint in its structural globality, whereas Module 2 (termed German colonial architecture as a transcultural heritage) aims to tackle the architectural remains of the German-colonial impact from a contemporary perspective backwards as a kind of shared build heritage, across three continents and in reference back to Germany itself.

自1884年以来，德意志帝国，除了历史悠久的英国，法国和荷兰之外，成为世界上第四大殖民大国。作为这一背景下的一个典型特征，德国殖民主义及其在非洲的殖民地（德属东非和西南非洲、喀麦隆和多哥）、东亚（今中国的青岛/Kiatschou）和大洋洲（德属几内亚和萨摩亚）在其地缘政治结构中是一个真正的全球项目，尽管它存在的时间很短，只有大约30年，（1884-1914），一个非常丰富和广泛的建筑活动，其结构遗迹保存得非常好，直到今天。本研究项目以双重项目设计对这一背景作出反应：模块1（被称为德国殖民建筑1884-1914 -一个全球项目）旨在从其结构整体性的历史观点来概念化这种建筑活动，而模块2（将德国殖民建筑称为跨文化遗产）旨在解决德国的建筑遗迹-从当代的角度来看，殖民地的影响作为一种共享的建筑遗产，跨越三大洲，并回到德国本身。
