∙ 11y agoThe first wave of German immigrants to South Australia came in the 1830s to escape the persecution of King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia who wanted them to join the state church rather than to carry on their own religion.
Thanks to a wealthy Scottish businessman and chairman of the South Australian Company, George Fife Angas, a deal was struck by Pastor August Kavel to start a new Lutheran settlement in South Australia. The first group of Lutherans arrived on the ship 'Bengalee' in November 1838, followed two days later by the main group on the 'Prince George'. They first settled at the town of Klemzig. Many more ships followed over the next three years.
Immigrants continued to arrive in the 1850s, when the persecution had already ceased, because the farmland in their home country was producing poorly and becoming overcrowded and famine conditions prevailed in the 1840s. Greater opportunities for affordable land ownership were available, especially in South Australia, and also in area of the Riverland in New South Wales.
