Karl Ludwig Jühlke

Karl Ludwig Jühlke was a German explorer. He was a leading member of the team which in 1885 set the groundwork for creating the colony of German East Africa. His killing in Kismayo at the end of 1886 by a Somali, who remains unnamed in sources, provoked strong government anger in Berlin where it was reported as a murder undertaken on instructions which came, it was not unreasonable to conclude, from the Sultan of Zanzibar.
