Carl Strehlow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Friedrich Strehlow (23 December 1871 – 20 October 1922) was a German Lutheran missionary in outback Australia who headed the Finke River Mission in Hermannsburg, Northern Territory from 1894-1922. He learnt and documented the languages of the Arrernte and Luritja people, and published together with Moritz von Leonhardi a seven-volume work on their culture. His son, Ted Strehlow, continued this work.

Carl Strehlow was educated at a seminary in Neuendettelsau, Ansbach, graduating in 1891 and becoming ordained the following year. He is commemorated by the Carl Strehlow Memorial Hospital at Hermannsburg and the Strehlow Research Centre in Alice Springs.
