Some info from http://www.bmpix.org/source/search/biography.php?identifiant=22839, to be incorporated in this article:
- place of birth: Hannover
- entered Bremen Mission in 1895 (not sure about Bremen or Basel)
- sent out by Bremen mission in 1900
- missionary work in Togo
- professional training: post office assistant
- after 1909 Westermann was a professor for African languages in Berlin

Perhaps it should be mentioned that Togo was a German colony before the first World War? Presumably that explains why he was there at all.
- Absolutely! Thanks for your suggestion. If you feel a change is needed, please go ahead and make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. You don't even need to log in, although there are several reasons why you might want to. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. — mark ✎ 20:23, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
