The book wants to bridge a gap. It brings back to memory nearly 500 years of German-Indonesian relations. Over the centuries thousands of Germans lived on Java and other islands of the archipelago and well-known Germans wrote about present-day Indonesia. Even the name "Indonesia was introduced by a German scientist. Names important to early relations range from Eberhard Rumphius to Friedrich Schiller, from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to the Humboldt brothers, from Caspar Georg Reinwardt, the founder of the Botanical Park in Bogor, to Philipp Franz von Siebold who introduced the cultivation of tea, from Franz Junghuhn, the "Humboldt of Java", to the princely painter Raden Saleh.
German-Indonesian connection in trade and industry also reach back to the mid 19th century. Siemens took the lead in telecommunications as far back as 1855 and built the first power stations for Batavia and Bogor in 1896. In the same year Mercedes-Benz delivered the first automobile to Java. Krupp, Thyssen-Henschel, Borsig and others were engaged in constructing railway-systems on Java and Sumatra. Zeiss and Leitz were equally present.
