For years the author has been editing letters and reports from former missionaries of the Basel Mission. Under the title Other Europeans seven studies on the work of the Basel Mission in West Africa are collected: two of them address the Mission among the Dagombas in Togo (1912-16). Another study examines the often forgotten mission effort in Liberia (1827-31). The missionaries there had been given the instruction of 1827 which much later became a working paper in the anniversary year (2015). At the Gold Coast, Philipp Henke (1829) acted as a first support for the mission. By-product of another study was the report on an African peace agreement in 1870. The transcription of the diaries of the missionary Fritz Ramseier which he wrote during his imprisonment among the Ashanti (1869-74) led to an account on his relations with the Ashanti king Kofi Karikari.
