In Germany
Adolph Pagenstecher was born in Osnabrück, in the Kingdom of Hanover, on 1 July 1837 to Georg and Agnes Pagenstecher.
In 1857, he began his studies at the University of Göttingen, enrolling in Law in the Michaelmas Term, and completing his studies in the Easter Term 1860.[1]
In Australia
Adolph Pagenstecher left Cuxhaven on 14 October 1860 aboard the Elizabeth, and arrived in Melbourne on 19 February 1861, at the age of 24.[2][3] By April he had set up as a teacher of music at 64 Little Collins Street East, providing lessons in piano, bass and other instruments for adults and children over the age of 8, and had expanded to classes in Greek, Latin and French by June.[4][5] On the 19th of August, Adolph instigated the rescue of an elderly man who had leapt from the Sandridge Railway Pier into Hobson's Bay, and hauled the man, and another who had dived in to the bay, to safety.[6]
By July 1863, Adolph was living in Adelaide, and had already become part of Adelaide society as member of the Foresters and as a pianist.[7] According to a lawsuit at the same time, it appears Pagenstecher arrived in South Australia in early 1863 under an assumed name and, unable to find work as a teacher, was employed by the Dornwell's, a German butcher on Tynte Street.[8] In December 1863, Pagenstecher set in motion his plans to starthis own school on Tynte Street, while living at H. A. Böhm's Dover Castle Hotel on Archer Street. His new institution was initially named The North Adelaide English-German School (Die Nord-Adelaider englisch-deutsche Schule), but by the start of the school year in January 1864, he had changed the name to The North Adelaide Collegiate School. [9][10][11] At this point of time, Pagenstecher began claiming a P.D. qualification, or Privatdozent, from Göttingen and an A.M. from the Lingen Gymnasium.

Published Obituary
From the Australische Zeitung, Tuesday 28 September 1875:
Todes Anzeige.
Es hat dem Herrn über Leben und Tod gefallen meinen lieben Gatten nach, einem sehr langen und schweren Krankenlager in die Ewigkeit abzurufen, und seinem Leiden am 17. dieses Monate, Morgens halb 8 Uhr ein Ende gemacht. Er brachte sein Alter nur auf 38 Jahre und zwei Monate und hinterläßt seine tieftrauernde Wittwe und zwei unmündige Kinder. Zugleich sage ich meinen herzlichen Dank Allen denen, welche meinem Manne die letzte Ehre erwiesen haben.
Neu-Mecklenburg den 25. Septbr. 1875.
Henriette Pagenstecher.[12]
[Translation by Benjamin Hollister: Death notice. It pleased the Lord over life and death to call my dear husband to eternity from a very long and difficult sick bed, and put an end to his suffering on the 17th of this month, at half past seven in the morning. He was only 38 years and two months old and leaves behind his deeply mourning widow and two underage children. At the same time, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all those who paid their last respects to my husband. Neu-Mecklenburg, September 25th 1875. Henrietta Pagenstecher.]
