In the respective areas, functioning postal administrations were set up quickly.
These were organized along the lines of the German Reichspost and were usually staffed by civil servants, i.e. government officials of the Reich. Only smaller post offices were also managed on the side, but mostly in civil servants: similar circumstances.
However, the individual post offices were only able to manage themselves to a certain degree, they were usually subordinate to a colonial main post office, which in turn was directly subordinate to a specific upper post office (OPD) of the mother country or the Reichspostamt.
Reichspostamt Berlin: Post offices in China, Morocco and Turkey, German East Africa (from 1892), German South West Africa (from 1899)
OPD Bremen: the post offices in Kiautschou, German New Guinea, On the Caroline Islands, Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands (from 1900) and on Samoa
OPD Hamburg: the post offices in German East Africa (until March 1892), German Southwest Africa (until March 1899), Cameroon, the Marshall Islands (until September 1900) and Togo

Deutsche Post in China
From August 16, 1886 to March 16, 1917
From 1886-1917 there were German post offices in Shanghai, Tientsin, Tschifu, Amoy, Canton, Futschau, Nanking, Beijing, Swatau, Tsinanfu, Tschinkiang; for a short time also in Tongku (1900-1906), Weihsien (1902-1914), ltschang (1900-1908), Tschingtschoufu (1903 bis 1905) and Tschontsun (1903-1905). After the postal agency in Shanghai was first opened in China on August 16, 1886, the post offices Tientsin (October 1889) and Chifu (June 1, 1892) followed. Tientsin was renamed the Post Agency on April 1, 1893 and in the mid-1900s Post Office, Shanghai in late 1896 Post Office and in early 1902 to the "Imperial German Post Direction". During the so-called Boxer Uprising 1900-1901 in North China (Petschili) 10 field post stations came (see according to MiNo. 14).
1 mark = 100 pfennigs;
from October 1, 1905: 1 (Mexican) dollar (D) = 100 cents (C)
Expenses during the boxer riots in Petschili (north China); Field post
The issues P V and P VI were not overprinted and can only be recognized by the cancellations. The two issues of PV were used by the field post offices and the imperial post offices in the war zone, they must have stamp dates from September 1, 1900 to August 31, 1901 (end of the field post), but there are also later cancellations until December 31, 1902, which mostly owe their existence to collector's requests . P VI was used by the Feldpostanstalt No. 2 and the Imperial Post Office in Beijing, stamp dates mainly from April to November 1901.
Field post stations:
Field Post Expedition Tientsin 1.9.1900-31.8.1901
No. 1 (later Kaumi) 24.11.1900-4.7.1901 *)

No. 10 Kaiping 21.5.1901-31.8.1901
Taku Südfort 9.11.1900-1.1.1901
Whole pieces of the Deutsche Feldpost during the Boxer Uprising always have cancellations that were promptly applied, but due to the fact that other stamps had already been delivered and used officially at the time of these cancellations, they were not considered to be fully valid cancellations. Despite a flawless mail flow, the discounts are often only due to a special collector or dealer request. Such devaluations also fall under the category of category II (see introduction), evaluations of these items cf. Stamp table of the Arge colonies. Beware of over-franked Feldpost whole pieces,
which were essentially carried free of postage, but were often franked with stamps (as a souvenir).

Deutsche Post in Morocco
From December 20, 1899 to August 5, 1914 in French territory and until June 12, 1919 in Spanish territory, Tangier until August 19, 1919
German post offices in Morocco existed in Tangier, Alkassar, Arsila, Asimmur, Casablanca, Fez, Larache, Marrakech, Mazagan, Meknes, Mogador, Rabat, Saffi and Tetuan. From 1912, Alkassar, Arsila, Larache and Tetuan were in the Spanish, Tangier in the international, the others in the French protected area.
From Morocco there are only forerunners (from 1893) for the ships of the Woermann lines, whose representatives sold the German Reichspost stamps of the 1889 edition. The letters were canceled with the Seepoststempel and can only be recognized by acceptance or sender notes or similar indications on whole letters or parts of letters (at least 1000, -); with MiNr. 37 (2 M) not known.
The first German post office was built in Tangier on December 20, 1899 and had stamps with the imprint of the country n: imens from the beginning. In the early days, German post offices only covered postal traffic along the coast. To mediate the post in the ion /. private domestic courier lines from Germany were used, which also issued their own brands. The postal traffic with Marrakech mediated i.a. the two private lines W. Marx & Cie. or J. Brudo. Double frankings with brands of one of these lines and brands of Deutsche Post (MiNr. 1-6) are very sought after (at least 3000, -).

The German foreign post offices in Turkey, China and Morocco were established - especially to protect the commercial interests of the German merchants based there - in 1870, 1886 and 1899 in politically independent countries, in which no separate, state-organized or affiliated to the Universal Postal Union postal system existed.
In the respective areas, functioning postal administrations were set up quickly.
These were organized along the lines of the German Reichspost and were usually staffed by civil servants, i.e. government officials of the Reich. Only smaller post offices were also managed on the side, but mostly in civil servants: similar circumstances.
However, the individual post offices were only able to manage themselves to a certain degree, they were usually subordinate to a colonial main post office, which in turn was directly subordinate to a specific upper post office (OPD) of the mother country or the Reichspostamt.
Reichspostamt Berlin: Post offices in China, Morocco and Turkey, German East Africa (from 1892), German South West Africa (from 1899)
