Johannes Ittmann
Johannes Ittmann (26 January 1885 – 15 June 1963) was a German Protestant missionary in Cameroon between 1911 and 1940.
He was born in Groß-Umstadt, Grand Duchy of Hesse, German Empire and died in Gambach, Hesse, West Germany.[1] He worked with the Basel Mission[2] in Cameroon from 1911 to 1940.[1] He joined the National Socialist German Workers’ Party in 1934; this membership led to his forced retirement by the Basil Mission, who disagreed with their politics.[3]
He did extensive ethnological and anthropological work in the Southwest Province, an English-speaking part of Cameroon, and published some 1,000 pages about it.[4][5] His best-known work is his dictionary about the Duala language.
