Marianne was an important member of the Albrecht extended family and features frequently in the Albrecht family album.

Later more commonly known as Ted, Theodor Georg Heinrich (T.G.H.) Strehlow’s story is fascinating; from his childhood as the young son of the missionary Carl and Freida, spending his formative years growing up on Hermannsburg Mission, through to his return to Central Australia as the local patrol officer and later anthropologist.

Wilhelm F. Schwarz has been immortalised in a booklet called Venture of Faith. This epic trek traversed around 900 kilometres of unforgiving terrain.

Strehlow is reported to have asked Stolz to oversee the care of Hermannsburg who reviewed the mission to develop a plan for its future. 

A strong and compelling orator, he repeatedly challenged the traditional Elders and was probably more influential than the white missionaries themselves.
