"Einsetzung des gewählten Diakonen in sein Amt." ("Appointment of the newly-elected Deacon.") A European missionary, presumably Hauffe, and the African newly-elected Deacon are facing each other. On the left behind the missionary: a desk with ecclesiastical objects protected by a roof. They are surrounded by a crowd of people sitting on the ground. Above them: branches of a large tree. Cf. photo no. 10970. -- Werner Hauffe (1909-1982) was a carpenter and later a missionary of the Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine. From 1933 to 1939, he served in Rungwe, Utengule and Isoko.
