Tarrington/Hochkirch.
The origins of Tarrington, called Hochkirch until 1917 when Victoria changed German place names, goes back to a grand trek of Wendish people from Rosenthal (now Rosedale) in the Barossa Valley to this spot in 1852. They chose Bukecy as the town name as that was the place that they came from in Lusatia in Upper Saxony. The German settlers were not familiar with Bukecy and it was soon changed to Hochkirch which is the German name for Bukecy. In 1917 it was changed again to Tarrington, which was the ancestral home of the Henty family of Portland. Although the Wends spoke a different language, Wendish, they all spoke German and English/Scottish settlers assumed they were Germans, rather than settlers from east Prussian and Lusatia in Saxony. The Wends soon erected St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in 1858 with an attached cemetery as another large group of Wendish settlers had arrived from Geelong in 1855. A larger blue stone basalt church with bell tower was erected in 1863. But like most German settlements in Australia a breakaway group of St. Michael’s congregation formed a new congregation in 1857 which they called St. Luke’s Lutheran. That church is now in the Hamilton Pastoral Museum so I presume it was a small wooden building. The names of early settlers of Hochkirch are obviously the same of some SA Wendish families- Bienke, Deutscher, Fiebig,Gerlach, Grieser, Schneider etc. The current red brick St. Michael’s church in Tarrington was erected in 1929. Tarrington also had an early Lutheran school and a major German language printing works. The state school in Hochkirch opened in 1877. The businessmen of Hochkirch were also of German/Wendish background with Leschke in the general store, Schurmann in the hotel, Mueller in the Post Office etc. The 1911 formed Hochkirch Brass Band still exists and performs. The area now has many wineries.
