Ossidinge was a government station and capital of the prefecture in the German colony of Cameroon.
The government led a punitive expedition under the command of Captain von Besser, who in July 1900 started to build a station in Nssakpe, which on 17 July 1901 was displaced to Ossidinge by Hans Glauning.
On 15 November 1902 it was put under civil administration, managed by Kurt Graf Pückler-Limpurg.
On 1 April 1909, the former governmental station was promoted as Bezirksamt (seat of the government of a district).
Its last governor was the former Schutztruppe officer Adolf Schipper, who died in 1915 when fighting near Banypo.
