The German West African Company, in German Deutsch-Westafrikanische Gesellschaft / Compagnie, was a German chartered company, founded in 1882, which exploited two German Schutzgebiete in West Africa known as German West Africa, but apparently, unlike German East Africa, without a central authority.
