Summary

Christian Gottlob Teichelmann was a Lutheran Missionary born in 1807 in Saxony, Germany. He came to South Australia together with Klamor Wilhelm Schurmann on the recommendation of Augustus Ludwig Christian Kavel and George Fife Angas. They arrived onboard the 'Pestonjee Bomanjee' which also carried Governor Gawler. They started a school for Aborigines near the Adelaide Gaol. He lived with his wife on a farm near Morphett Vale and together they had 14 children. He retired to a farm near Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula. The missionaries joint book 'Outlines of a Grammar: Vocabulary and Phraseology of the Aboriginal Language of South Australia, Spoken by the Natives in and for Some Distance around Adelaide in 1840' contains over 2000 words in the Kaurna language.
