- These expeditions were proposed by Georg Thilenius and funded by the Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung (Hamburg Scientific Foundation). It was a two year expedition to study and describe German Melanesia and the Caroline and Marshall Islands in Micronesia. The stated goal of the expedition was "to observe and record the final phases of an old, indigenous culture as long as it still had vitality and still retained as many remnants as possible of the old times, which were little changed". The Melanesian portion of the expedition was led by Friedrich Fülleborn and the Micronesia portion was led by Dr. Augustin Krämer. While these locations were German colonies at the time of the expeditions, by the time the results were published colonial administration had changed.
