Poetry book by founder of the Templer movement, forward written in 1874 in Jaffa, Palestine. Published posthumously. 115 pp. "Christoph Hoffmann studied theology in Tuebingen. He was elected to the First National German Parliament, in 1848. In idealistic motivation to creating a better Christian State, Hoffmann assembled groups setting up communities in which their striving would be practiced in daily life. In 1854, he established the "Friends of Jerusalem", which in June 1861 formed into a Christian religious organisation known as Deutscher Tempel, its members identified themselves as Templers. In 1868 the Templers started to create settlements in Palestine. Hoffmann died in the Templer settlement in Jerusalem".
