Karl Friedrich August Gützlaff (1803-1851) [in English-language publications: Charles Gutzlaff] was born in the Prussian province of Pomerania. Working for the Netherlands Missionary Society, he was sent to the Dutch East Indies. In 1831, he made a first trip on the China coast. Gützlaff was a „restless spirit with seemingly boundless energy“. R. G.
