The DKG collection was organized according to a uniform concept. It initially provided very differentiated information about the sponsors and activities of the German colonial movement and then mainly documented the general and especially the German colonial history. The more extensive regional section deals with all areas in which the German Reich pursued colonial interests, i.e. 1. Togo 2. Cameroon 3. Namibia / German South-West Africa 4. Tanzania / German East Africa 5. Rwanda / German East Africa 6. Burundi / German East Africa 7. People's Republic of China / Kiautschou (Tsingtau) 8. Papua New Guinea / Kaiser-Wilhelmsland 9. Palau / Caroline Islands 10. Federation of Micronesia / Caroline Islands 11. Northern Mariana Islands (USA) / Mariana Islands 12. Marshall Islands 13. Nauru 14. Western Samoa / German Samoa. The settlement areas of Germans in Latin America (e.g. Blumenau) or Australia should also be mentioned. The main subject areas here are voyages of discovery and exploration, geology and mining, vegetation and native agriculture, landscapes and animal studies, the settlement activities of natives and whites, schools and missions, traditional trade and transportation, the introduction of modern means of transport (port facilities, railroads, roads), economic development by Europeans, protection forces and uprisings, voyages of discovery and exploration. In addition, the same topics are presented as examples for colonies of other states in Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania. Towards the end of the Second World War, the Society's picture collection was moved to mining tunnels in Thuringia, where it was seized by American troops and finally, together with the German Colonial Society's library of around 15,000 volumes, transferred to the Frankfurt am Main City and University Library under its then director Hanns Wilhelm Eppelsheimer. According to preliminary estimates, the total number of images is at least 55,000, with the few old large glass plate negatives, the hand-colored large slides and the earliest color slides from the overseas territories being particularly valuable."

The Photography Collection of the Museum Fünf Kontinente comprises some 135,000 pictorial documents in the form of glass plates, paper prints, slides and photo albums. The earliest photographs date from the year 1870. Among the outstanding holdings are photographs from the expeditions of the ethnologist Theodor Koch-Grünberg to Amazonia (1903-1905 and 1911-1913), the research trip of the couple Christine and Lucian Scherman to Burma, India and Ceylon (1910-1911) or the trip of the father Meinulf Küsters to East Africa (1927-1928).Numerous photo documents from research and private journeys of other well-known and also less well-known researchers belong to the holdings as well as early photographs of renowned photo studios from different countries. The collection is continuously and systematically expanded through acquisitions, bequests and bequests as well as donations. Photographs of museum objects are another focal point. A small collection of films and sound recordings is also part of the collection.

With a stock of almost 450,000 pictures, the Museum am Rothenbaum has a unique photographic collection. The oldest photograph known to us was taken in 1858, only seven years after the first glass plate negative was made. Some of the photographs are particularly noteworthy, such as Eduard Arning's paper negatives from Hawaii in 1885. Other outstanding objects are the coloured autochromes in the grain raster process from the early 20th century with motifs from Bolivia by Franz Bandholz. Equally important are the more than 300 platinum types of Mayan ruins that Teobert Maler created from 1875 onwards or the presumably first colour photographs from Yemen that Carl Rathjens captured on the then innovative Agfacolor New Slide Film in 1937, which, in addition to numerous private photo albums and pictorial materials from the history of research and teaching, contain important stocks of expedition photographs. They originate, for example, from the so-called Inner Africa expedition of Duke Adolf Friedrich to Mecklenburg in 1910/11 or the Hamburg South Sea expedition between 1908 and 1910, but also the convolute of Hans Heinrich Brüning from South America, the photographs of Johan Adrian Jacobsen from the American Northwest Coast as well as the former Museum Godeffroy collection with its focus on Oceania are in the international focus of critical cultural-historical image research.

Captain Nauer's photographs from the German South Seas (around 1910)The "Allgäuer Seefahrer" Karl Nauer spent the years 1903 to 1913 in the service of North German Lloyd in German New Guinea, the former German colony in the Pacific. From 1906, as captain of the steamship "Sumatra", he sailed between the main squares of the Bismarck archipelago. Over the years, Nauer became an important contact person for various German ethnological museums, not least due to the stays of numerous scientists on board with him. It is documented that in 1908/1909 Nauer undertook a collection journey of several months on the Solomon Islands with the ethnologist Dr. Ludwig Cohn for the Bremen Überseemuseum, and from this time on also photographed.
