這項研究主要為19世紀中德關係的早期階段。主題是在奧倫堡伯爵統治下的普魯士東亞考察團以及1861年9月10日的「友好貿易和航運協定」，自此開始中德兩國的外交關係。同時論及當時的關係史和政治局勢。在這個早期階段，這種關係的進一步發展以兩個事件來觀察闡述，即1864年普魯士從中國沿海沒收的丹麥船隻事件和台灣1868-1869年的大南澳事件。

This thesis is a research over the early stages of Sino-German relations in the 19th century. The theme is the Prussian East Asian Mission under the Earl of Eulenburg and the "Friendly Trade and Shipping Agreement" of September 10, 1861, on the history of relations and the political situation at the time. Since then, the diplomatic relations between China and Germany have begun. In this early stage, the further development of this relationship was observed in two events: the 1864 Danish vessel incident confiscated on the coast of China by German Navel and the Great South Nan-ao incident in Taiwan from 1868 to 1869.
