DENHARDT, KLEMENS and his brother GUSTAV (1856-1917), German explorers, were born at Zeitz. In 1878 they explored the Tana river, and six years later were able to negotiate a friendly treaty with the sultan of Witu. Part of the territory acquired was sold to the German Witu-Gesellschaft and was later given to England in exchange for Heligoland.
