Colonial Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colonial Council (Kolonialrat)[1][2] was an advisory body of the Government of Germany that existed from 1890 to 1907[1] and again from 1911 to 1913. It advised the Imperial Colonial Office, a part of the Foreign Office, on political and economic matters relevant to the German colonies in Africa and around the world. Its members were appointed by the Chancellor.
