13. Insight: The Attitudes Of Germans In SA To Federation |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
By Pauline Payne and Dr Ian Harmstorf OAM
The principal source of information for this paper on the attitudes of Germans in the
South Australian community to Federation proved to be material printed in the
South Australian German newspapers. To our knowledge no systematic research on
Federation issues had ever been carried out on these papers. Given the importance of
the German newspapers a further valuable source of information proved to be
biographical information on politician and editor M. P. F. Basedow.
Additional biographical material was sought on Basedows' network of contacts in the
South Australian community. Speeches by members of parliament who were of German
origin were examined but provided only limited material relating to Federation.
Lutheran Church journals did not prove to be fruitful sources of material, the
newspapers being concerned with church life and administration.
As a result we concentrated our research efforts on the German language
newspapers. The material found there is difficult for most Australian researchers to
access, being in German, on microfilm and in Gothic script. For this reason we
decided to report on the German language newspaper content in some detail in the
paper. Translation from German into English was done by Dr Ian Harmstorf OAM.

14. Insight: Democratic Rights Of Australians Of Non British Decent |
|
|
|
|
|

The first large group of Germans arrived in South Australia as religious refugees
in 1838, only two years after the proclamation of the colony. Their homeland had
been in the eastern part of Germany (this area is now part of Poland) and they had suffered
persecution because of their refusal to use a new prayer book. Although the persecutions
were soon to stop, letters written back to Germany told of the economic, religious and political
freedom to be found in South Australia and a 'chain migration' was soon in motion.
Soon, not only Lutheran congregations were emigrating to the new colony but all types of people
from towns and cities as well as villages. By 1900 over 18,000 Germans had come
to South Australia.
When war on Germany was declared on 4 August 1914 there was a general
feeling in the more educated sections of the community that the loyalty of German settlers should
not be discussed or questioned. It was considered that it should be taken for granted.
Premier Peake said shortly after the outbreak of hostilities. 'There would be nothing of racial
animosity in this State'.
