Biographical History
Established in 1797 as the first Lutheran Seminary in the United States. John Christopher Hartwick (1714-1796) was born in Molschleben, Germany and educated at the University of Halle. He arrived in America in 1746 an ordained Lutheran minister. He had a strong desire to establish a seminary and send missionaries out to Christianize the Indians. To this end he made numerous deals and eventually was successful in obtaining the majority of a 24,000 acre patent from the Indians in Otsego County, New York. He died in 1796 without having fulfilled his dream, but left complete instructions in his will for the organization of the seminary. In 1927 the Seminary expanded to a 4 year college and was moved to Oneonta, New York. The Seminary closed in 1947.
Established in 1797 as the first Lutheran Seminary in the United States as stipulated in the will of John Christopher Hartwick.
