History

[edit]

By 1741, 509 Lutherans were living in Cape Town and in 1742 petitions were sent to the Dutch East India Company to allow a Lutheran church to be built.[2] The Dutch East India Company initially refused but finally relented and gave permission for a church on 23 October 1779. The church at its inception had 441 founding parishioners.[3]
