"Die Ältesten von Inamwanga und die Gäste von den anderen Stämmen vor der neuen Kirche nach der Kircheinweihung." ("The elders of Inamwanga and the visitors of other tribes in front of the new church after the church's consecration."). A group of African men and two missionaries, presumably Tietzen and Küchler, are lined up. Behind them: the newly-built church. Theodor Tietzen (1893-1973) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. Having married Hildegard Marie Lenz in 1921 and served in South Africa (West) from 1922 to 1927, he moved to East Africa, where he served in Mbozi till 1929 and in Utengule till 1939. In the 1950s he returned to South Africa. -- Kurt Küchler (1908-?) was a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. He served in Kyimbila from 1936 to 1939. In 1938 he married Marianne Geisler.
