Some of the dates here are rough. Togoland, a small colony, was occupied by the British and French in 1914. The occupation of Cameroon began at the same time, but took longer: the last German fort surrendered in 1916. Bismarck himself was a reluctant colonialist.

Neither was able to name the composer. After a great deal of trawling, I, like you, found the piece to be by Walch. However, as the two were contemporaries, and as Beethoven's own funeral was apparently a massive affair, with crowds lining the streets, I do wonder if the misattribution occurred as a result of Walch's march actually being played at Beethoven's own funeral? Purely speculation, but worth a thought, perhaps?
