Line 24:
Pastor Kavel, as the leader of the group of immigrants, acted as a negotiator for securing land for the settlers. These new migrants rented {{convert|150|acre|km2}} from George Angas and established their first settlement in Australia at [[Klemzig, South Australia|Klemzig]]. On the arrival of the third ship, ''Zebra'', the town [[Hahndorf, South Australia|Hahndorf]] was established. A third settlement of the Prussian migrants was established at [[Glen Osmond, South Australia|Glen Osmond]] by many of the passengers from ''Catharina''. One of Kavel's followers, [[Johann Friedrich Krummnow]], taught the girls en route but was deemed "not completely satisfactory and the community did not allow him to teach in Australia".<ref name="Nutting">{{cite web | url = http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/dnutting/germanaustralia/e/krummnow1.htm | title = J.

On 23 and 24 May 1839, Kavel convened a meeting of the [[Elder (administrative title)|elders]] of the three villages. At this meeting, the constitution of the new [[Lutheran Church of Australia, synodical history|Australian Lutheran synod]] was adopted. At the following synodical gathering in 1840, a letter was drafted and subsequently sent to the "Old Lutherans" in Prussia. Its purpose was to encourage others to emigrate and, most importantly, have a second pastor immigrate to Australia. On 28 October 1841, 224 further Prussian immigrants arrived in Adelaide on the [[Skjold (ship)|''Skjold'']], among them Pastor [[Gotthard Fritzsche]]. This group formed the main part of the settlements at [[Lobethal, South Australia|Lobethal]] and [[Bethany, South Australia|Bethanien]].
