German Colonies and Offices Abroad // Colónias Alemãs e Postos de Correio no Estrangeiro


The German Colonial Empire was an overseas domain formed in the late 19th century, in 1884, as part of the German Empire. With the outbreak of the First World War the German Colonial Empire officially ended with the effective date of the Treaty of Versailles on 10 January 1920 after its defeat in the war. Offices Abroad were German Post Offices in foreign countries like China, Morocco and Turkey (Ottoman Empire), between 1870 and 1919.

O Império Colonial Alemão foi um domínio ultramarino formado no final do século XIX, em 1884, que passou a fazer parte do Império Alemão. Com a eclosão da Primeira Guerra Mundial, o Império Colonial Alemão terminou oficialmente com a entrada em vigor do Tratado de Versalhes, a 10 de Janeiro de 1920, após a sua derrota na guerra. Os Postos de Correio Alemães no Estrangeiro emitiram selos em países como a China, Marrocos e a Turquia (Império Otomano), entre 1870 e 1919.
