"City Germans: Pubs, Politicians and Pastors Speaker: Ben Hollister"
The German community in the City of Adelaide is the less-known part of the German-South Australian story. Often from larger urban centres, Adelaide Germans were at odds with their rural Old Lutheran cousins, socially, politically, and religiously. It was this diverse group of Germans that Missionary Teichelmann first preached to from the Reverend Stow's church a month before the arrival of Pastor Kavel, although the main migrant flow began years later in 1846. Names such as Hübbe, Stakemann, Pagenstecher, Stüdemann, Mähnke, Firnhaber, Conrad, Heuzenroeder, Frost and Kindermann can be found in the city, some well-known, some less known. Ben Hollister explores their influence both within their own community, the broader city and the colony.
Ben Hollister is a historical researcher in private practice and an archivist at Lutheran Archives. His German migrant families lived and died in the City of Adelaide, and researching their lives led him to uncover the depth of German influence on the state capital.
