*German immigrants arrived in Chile in the 19th century. Some of them decided to leave Germany after the riots in 1848. Others hoped to start again economically in the lands that the Chilean government lent them. They had in common the same language and their German identity. Then, it is easy to understand that German-Chilean institutions were places to preserve and care for their traditions and identity. | |||
*With the foundation of the first German-speaking evangelical community in 1863, the church began to be part of that identity. A place for baptisms and marriages was needed. German pastors with more training could also teach in schools. Some were glad to have a German hymnbook in their hands again. By 1890, the majority of the communities that today belong to the Lutheran Church in Chile (ILCH) already existed. <ref>Daniel Lenski, "The history of the Lutheran Church in Chile", in "La Iglesia Luterana", https://www.iglesialuterana.cl/ilch/historia-de-la-iglesia/, accessed 8 March 2020.</ref> | |||
