In 1891 he published the results of his studies as Swahili Dragoman .

In April 1890 he started his return trip around the Cape of Good Hope from Zanzibar . The ship transported 400 Zanzibarites for the Congo state . The trip gave him the opportunity to get to know both Cape Town and the Congo Estuary. He returned to Hamburg via Cape Verde in July 1890 . Since then he has occupied himself with language studies, but then worked as a civil servant in the higher administrative service.

In February 1894 he married Luise Wilhelmine Charlotte, b. von Bonin (1846–1933). The Baroness von Nettelbladt became a widow after just eight months of marriage and during her long widowhood an important figure in the Hamburg community movement .
