Hans Werner Debrunner
Hans Werner Debrunner (1923 –1998) was a
Swiss German historian,
Protestant theologian and ethnologist whose work mainly covered
mission history,
West Africa and the
African diaspora. Born in Bern, Switzerland, he also carried out academic research on history relating to missiology in northern, eastern and southern Africa. Upon his death in 1998, his private library and archive were donated to the ''Carl Schlettwein Foundation''. The "independent, self-contained collection" comprises more than 3100 books and single journal issues on his area of specialty, published mostly in the first half to mid-twentieth century. Furthermore, Debrunner’s academic archives are a compilation of
historiography and
ethnography, particularly bio-bibliographies of Swiss missionaries and native African pastors and missionaries who worked with the
Basel Mission in Africa. Debrunner also documented history, socio-political and intercultural relations between
Africa and
Europe. Hans Debrunner’s accounts explored the life and works of African saints, royalty, aristocrats, noblemen, political envoys, writers, intellectuals, scholars and artists who lived in or visited Europe from the early
medieval period through
the Enlightenment until the end of the
World War I era.
