Hermannsburg is a small hamlet located in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It is home to the Hermannsburg School ((ドイツ語:Deutsche Schule Hermannsburg)). == History == Hermannsburg was established in 1854 as the first station of the Hermannsburg Missionary Society based in Hermannsburg, Germany. The missionaries who had planned to reach Ethiopia but were forced to turn back, decided to start a mission in South Africa. They bought the farm Perseverance on the edge of Zululand near Greytown as Mpande the king of the Zulus would not allow them to settle in his land. After arrival at the new mission station, the missionaries constructed a large house (the Mission House), which was converted to a museum in 1981. In 1856 the missionaries started a boarding school, which is still in operation as a private boarding school. Various missionaries of the Hermannsburg Mission, supported by laymen- and women, immigrated to South Africa and established mission stations across the region. In South Africa, five churches have grown out of this initial group of missionaries, namely the (ELCSA ), (ELCSA Cape ), (ELCSA-NT ), (LCSA ) and (FELSISA ), with further growth in Lutheran churches in Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. Other Lutheran missions also worked in South Africa, as well as in the rest of Africa. There is an estimated number of 600 000 baptized Lutherans in South Africa. Across the continent, there is an estimated number of (19 million ) members of Lutheran churches (2011). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermannsburg, KwaZulu-Natal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
