Alfred Freund-Zinnbauer

Alfred Freund-Zinnbauer MBE (26 June 1910 – 9 November 1978) was an Australian community worker, internee, Lutheran pastor and refugee.

Zinnbauer was born in Vienna, Austro-Hungarian Empire (Austria) and died in Adelaide, South Australia.

In 1938, due to increasing anti-semitism in Austria, Freund-Zinnbauer decided to emigrate and contacted a fellow Lutheran pastor he knew in Adelaide.

In 1942, he was transferred to the Loveday Camp in rural South Australia, and was finally released in 1944 after being reclassified as a refugee.

After the war, he spent most of his time with the church assisting European immigrants settle into new lives in the Adelaide area.
