An evening full of faith history and mission experience in Fürnried
On November 1, 2026, a special view into faith history, mission, and lived spirituality will open at the Johann Flierl Museum in Fürnried. The lecture by Georg Pilhofer invites you to discover Johann Flierl's journey in Australia as a religious experience and as part of a vibrant Protestant memory culture.
Johann Flierl between language, encounter, and mission
The evening focuses on the phase in which Flierl worked among German-descended Lutherans in southern Australia after his training in Neuendettelsau and later at Coopers Creek among the Dieri. The lecture perspective clearly shows how closely theology, language learning, pastoral care, and community were connected in mission work.
A place with a special spiritual atmosphere
The Johann Flierl Museum is located in the former school building in Fürnried and preserves the memory of the first Protestant missionary in Papua New Guinea. The exhibition on the first floor and the close connection to local and church history provide a dignified framework for the lecture that promotes reflection and exchange.
Community, memory, and living tradition
The date is aimed at anyone interested in mission, Protestant church history, religious education, and the work of Johann Flierl. The event combines historical context with community experience and invites attendees to experience faith not just as tradition but as lived responsibility.
What visitors can expect
Visitors can expect an informative, calm, and spiritually shaped afternoon. The combination of lecture, museum location, and religious memory makes this date a special faith experience. Those who want to follow Johann Flierl's Australian years live should not miss this date in Fürnried.
