  About Hermansburgers: The Hermannsburgers
  
  The Hermannsburg Missionary Society was founded by Louis Harms in Hermannsburg, Kingdom of Hanover (now in Lower Saxony). Its aim was to bring the gospel to the people of Africa and especially the Gallas of Ethiopia. After their entry to North East Africa had been blocked by Sultan Said of Zanzibar and Mombasa, they made South Africa the main focus of their missionary activity.
  
  The Hermannsburg Missionary Society was a society of very limited means. It has been called a "farmers' missionary society" because it recruited its missionaries and colonists largely from the rural population of the Lüneburger Heide, the area in which Hermannsburg in Germany lies. While the missionaries were often not highly educated people, they were very motivated and established many missionary stations throughout the old Natal and Transvaal.
  
  The missionaries and their descendants settled in areas of Central Natal, north of Pietermaritzburg, around Wartburg, Harburg, Lilienthal, further north around Hermannsburg, in Northern Natal around Dundee, Glencoe, Vryheid and Paulpietersburg, and on the South Coast around Marburg and Paddock.
