  • The Anthropological Museum (Museum für Völkerkunde) in Hamburg Germany) keeps a collection named after its founder: Hans Heinrich Brüning. Bom in 1848, this German engineer worked on haciendas in Northern Peru from 1875 to 1925. He was interested in Peruvian anthropology and collected archaeological pieces. With this collection, the first provincial museum of Peru was founded in Lambayeque. Hampe Martínez describes 128 documents which shed light on the colonial history of that region. Brüning was especially interested in the ways land could be purchased and agrarian properties had been used. There are for example Indian wills, court decisions and official papers giving information about rights of land and water. The documentation provides insights in agrarian and social history as well as in everyday life.
