Biography

Notables Project
Frederick Albrecht is Notable.

Frederick Albrecht was born in 1894. He passed away in 1984.

From his Australian Dictionary of Biography page we see: Friedrich Wilhelm Albrecht (1894-1984), Lutheran missionary, was born on 15 October 1894 at Plawanice, County of Lublin, Russian Poland, eldest of ten children of German-speaking parents Ferdinand Albrecht, a farmer from Kroczyn, and his wife Helene, née Reichwald.

He married Minna Maria Margaretha Gevers at Winnipeg in Canada while completing his Seminary and English language studies in 1925. The young couple travelled to Australia later in the same year.

Now a fully ordained Lutheran Minister, Albrecht reached Hermannsburg in the Northern Territory in April 1926, replacing Carl Friedrich Strehlow as mission superintendent.

Friedrich Wilhelm Albrecht received an MBE in 1958

Also from his online Biography we see he was survived by his three sons and two daughters, when he died at Fullarton in South Australia on 16 March 1984 and he was buried in Centennial Park Cemetery. This was four months after his wife death,

Hi Simon,

Thanks for looking after this Australian notable! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Australia Project has recently changed their Australian Notables categories. We are now moving all the profiles currently under the Australia, Notables category to one or more of the sub-categories - see Australia, Notables category for the sub-categories and Australian Notables for information on how to include an Australian Notable category as part of the Notables sticker. You can also check if you have any other profiles that need moving under this category by going to the category and choosing 'Limit to Watchlist' on the top RHS. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, Thanks so much! Gillian
