"Strasse in Rungwe. Br. Zickmantel." ("Street in Rungwe. Br[other] Zickmantel.") Missionary Johannes Zickmantel, dressed in white, stands in the background. A woman and four children are in the foreground of the street. Some people stand on the right side of the road. European style houses are to be seen on the left. Imprinted on the image: "Strasse in Rungwe. D.O.A. No. 1029." ("Street in Rungwe. G[erman] E[ast] A[frica] No. 1029."). Martin Johannes Zickmantel (1866-1922) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. Having married Marie Agnes Hartmann in 1897, he served from 1898 to 1904 in Rutenganio and from 1904 to 1914 in Rungwe, staying also some time between 1912 and 1914 in Isoko. After the death of his first wife in 1903 in Rutenganio he married Elisabeth Louise Hartmann (1882-1963) in 1906. She served again from 1928 for many years in what is now Tanzania.
