Beschreibung:
Since 1980 the Institute of Mining and Geosciences of the Technical University of Berlin carried out an educational project at the University of Science and Technology (UST) in Kumasi and the UST School of Mines in Tarkwa, Ghana, Westafrica. Eichmeyer (1) reported about this project already, in which this author did participate. This project of scientific cooperation in the areas of mining and minerals sciences is not the first contact between Germany and Ghana (earlier called Gold Coast or Guinea). At the end of the 17th Century the Brandenburg-Prussians had undertaken mining activities on the Gold Coast already apart from gold-trade. The historical background of these early mining activities will be presented in the light of the then prevailing political and economical conditions. In this context the early mining attempts of other European powers as well as the indigenous mining activities in those days are described. The development of the modern industrial gold mining sector in Ghana was presented by Gosten and Peters (2) elsewhere. ; My brother still wanted to publish this magazine article at the 15.05.2001 before his death. Unfortunately, it was not granted to him any more to do this. I have sighted his estate and processed according to these as his brother. Therefore I am publishing the last work of my brother Dipl engineer Winfried Peters now, too, so that his bequest is filled. I unfortunately can not guarantee for the scientific correctness of the work, however, have revised this work after best knowledge and conscience. ; research
