Summary

Adolph Bartels, Mayor of Adelaide. Mr. Bartels was born in Hanover, Germany. In his early years he followed the trade of cigar maker in Hamburg, later moving to Breslau. Here he met Mr. Seppelt, and in 1848 came out to Australia under contract, working at Seppeltsfield for a year. He then went to work for Messrs. Gerke and Rodemann as a cigar maker in Adelaide, and after a trip to the Victorian goldfields, he set up his own tobacconists shop. In 1865 he entered into partnership with G.H.C. Meyer as general agents and grain merchants. In 1866 Bartels was elected as representative of Hindmarsh ward on the City Council, a position he held for four years.
