Jakob and Charlotte Rippert: Nubia to Nuriootpa

Paul Kiem and Klaus Rippert, published January 2026

Jakob and Charlotte Rippert were German missionaries whose life together became an extraordinary pilgrimage through the upheavals of the twentieth century. From the horrors of the Western Front in 1918 to ‘mission fields’ as far apart as Nubia (Egypt) and Hermannsburg (Australia), and finally to their fate as Palestine Germans in the 1930s and 1940s — their story blends Christian devotion with unusual challenge, courage and adventure.
Beyond the fascination of their lives, their experiences open rare windows into chapters of history in Palestine, Germany, and Australia — episodes now fading from collective memory yet rich in human drama and significance.
Meticulously researched original history presented in a compelling and richly illustrated narrative.
