History
German colonization in China
In 1891 the Qing government decided to make the area of Tsingtao (also known as Qingdao) a defense base against naval attack and eventually began to improve Tsingtao’s existing fortifications. This Chinese activity was observed and reported by German naval officials during a formal survey of Kiautschou Bay in May 1897. After the Kiautschou Bay region was ceded to Germany in April 1898, the German authorities soon turned the impoverished fishing village of Tsingtao into a strategically important port administered by the Imperial Department of the Navy (Reichsmarineamt) rather than the Imperial Colonial Office (Reichskolonialamt). The navy based their Far East Squadron here, allowing the ships to conduct operations throughout the Pacific. The German imperial government planned and built the first streets and early infrastructure of the city (still visible today), introduced electrification throughout, a sewer system and a safe drinking water supply. German influence extended to other areas of Shandong Province, including the establishment of diverse commercial enterprises, especially in Yantai.
During the Weltkrieg, German's possessions in China were occupied by Japan, but the Peace with Honour restored German rule in 1921. A separate agreement between Germany and China placed Tangshan, located north of the port of Tianjin, under German control. Tangshan is an important heavy industry city and is also known as "the capital of porcelain in north China".
