Scope and content
Personalakte Peter Jessen] Jessen with an essay which was also printed in the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Missionsblatt (March 1913, pp. 39 to 44): Jessen reports on the decision where the second Breklum mission station is to be built. Udjidji or Kigoma? Since the railway, after its completion, will probably end in Kigoma, the missionaries have agreed on Kigoma with the agreement of the board. Report about the safari from Andersen and Jessen to Kigoma. Encounters with chieftains and healers, new country roads and old swamps, repopulation of Kigoma: the city emerges on a drawing board and plans, among other things, a European quarter. The Africans who currently live there will have to resettle. Jessen and Andersen choose a hill in Kigoma and mark their planned building with a stone pile (see also postcard!). Reports about hunting and animism. Note that some Catholic missions are also very interested in Kigoma and are also planning their settlements. On the return journey visit to a 'Sultan' who shows the missionaries photographs already taken by other travellers. Andersen must promise to send him a picture, too. The finding that existing land registries are very inaccurate. Return to Kigoma on 22 December.
