Dr. Hösemann served in the colonial German Schutztruppe as medical officer [Stabsarzt], undertook anthropological studies, and between 1897 and 1907, collected zoological objects on the northeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika (Udjidji), in the Kissaka Region (southeast of Lake Mugesera, Ngoma and Kirehe Districts, Eastern Province, Rwanda] and between Mwanza and Moshi [northern Tanzania] ( Hösemann 1897, Hafeneder 2010). Among others, he participated in the "German-French Border Expedition" (October 1901 to December 1902) to define the southern border of Cameroon, during which he mapped the area from the camp Nyengwe, south of Kampo, to the Ngoko station in the Sanga Ngoko area ( Danckelmann 1901; Fitzner 1901).
