biography

The explorer Schultze carried out anthropological research on the Nama from 1903 to 1905 , which he reports in his publications alongside zoological, botanical and geographical studies. About the massacre of the Hereros by the German troops under Lothar von Trotha in 1904, he reported that although the outbreak of fighting made the collection and conservation of animals difficult, he still gave the opportunity for physical anthropology: “On the other hand, I could see the victims of the Take advantage of the war and remove parts from fresh corpses of natives, which welcome the study of the living body (captured Hottentots [Nama] were often available to me). "

In 1910 Schultze took part in a German-Dutch expedition to German New Guinea . The purpose of the expedition was to map the border between Kaiser-Wilhelms-Land and the Dutch West Papua . In February / March 1910 the expedition was at the mouth of the Tami River . In March / April 1910, Schultze conducted negotiations in Batavia, today's Jakarta and Buitenzorg . From May 4, 1910, he made preparatory trips, exploring the Tami, a river next to Vanimo . In the Oro (province) , a section of the river, separated from the Waria River by a sandbank , which is shorter than a kilometer, was named after Schultze as the Leonhard Schultze River . Until 1913, Schultze held a professorship for geography at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , where he also headed the Museum of Ethnology at the University of Kiel from 1912 . Schultze held the chair for geography at the Philipps University of Marburg from 1913 to 1937 .
