What traces of colonialism can be found in today's district of Pankow? This question was at the beginning of the Museum Pankow's engagement with the colonial heritage of the district.

This anthology documents the research and learning processes involved in the museum's work on German colonial history. It also presents eight historical stories about people and institutions that were involved in colonialism.

These stories are about those who profited from colonialism and those who suffered under it, about economic entanglements, religious ambitions, pop-cultural appropriation, political propaganda and anti-colonial struggles.
