View of the Catholic church, Galula, Tanzania, 1937

1937

"Die Kirche auf unserer katholischen Nachbarstation Galula." ("The church at our Catholic neighboring station Galula.") In the center: a stone church with a high bell tower. The building is provided with large windows that have rounded tops. On the left: an African man standing beside a car. On the long side of the nave: a man is standing, presumably a missionary. On the right: a man standing next to a tree is watching the building. Theodor Tietzen (1893-1973) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. Having married Hildegard Marie Lenz in 1921 and served in South Africa (West) from 1922 to 1927, he moved to East Africa, where he served in Mbozi till 1929 and in Utengule till 1939. In the 1950s he returned to South Africa.
