It is a directory of people which are or where in one of the German
colonies.

Look at

You might check with the city directories of Berlin, which are to be
found online at: <http://adressbuch.zlb.de/>; (There are directions in
English as well.) The Umlauts are usually sorted like 'ae', 'oe', 'ue',
so "Jüterboger Str." will be found after "Jud..." but before "Juf...".
