Gottlob Krause

Gottlob Adolf Krause (January 5, 1850 in Ockrilla near Messen February 19, 1938 in Zürich) was a German Africanist and linguist.

Research

Krause researched languages of Central and West Africa, and is credited with labeling the Kwa languages.

Political Beliefs

Krause was an anti-colonialist, and did not cooperate with the German Empire's goals of imposing colonies in Africa.[1] Akinwumi cites[2] this as the reason for which Krause's scientific reputation was undermined in Germany.
