C F Adae was also General Agent for the Hamburg & Bremen Steamship per Williams Cincinnati city directory of 1868.

Whether agency for the said steamship co was for logistics of merchandise or immigrants, I don't know.

By the way, by the 1860's 30% of Cincinnati's population was either German immigrants or of German descent.
