The Colonial Division of the Foreign Office headed protectorate leadership from 1890 to 1907, with the Colonial Council established alongside it by decree of 10 October 1890.
The Colonial Division (Kolonialabteilung) of the Foreign Office was the uppermost leadership of Germany's protectorates between 1890 and 1907, headed by the Imperial Chancellor. The Colonial Council (Kolonialrat) was placed alongside the division by an Imperial decree of 10 October 1890. This structure formed the institutional context for colonial administration in 1891, though it was created in 1890 rather than that year.
