On arrival, the family split up with those from the ''Pauline'' moving the German area of Hope Valley, along with a number of their shipmates, while Johann and his family settled in the city itself. This was probably an economic decision based on the likelihood of work in Johann's trade. Initially living in Gilbert street, then Currie street, the family purchased land in on Kermode Street in North Adelaide in 1848 and built a house. The family had increased with a son, Johann, born in 1848 and another son, Jacob Conrad, born in 1850, though Johann and Anna's daughter had died in 1847. Tragedy struck again when Anna Louise died in 1854, leaving Johann a widower with 2 young sons. In 1855 he married Catharina Seecamp, a recent arrival from Baden bei Achim, on the south east borders of Bremen. The couple had 7 children, six living to adulthood adn the family continued to live at the Kermode Street residence until Catharina's death in 1920. | On arrival, the family split up with those from the ''Pauline'' moving the German area of Hope Valley, along with a number of their shipmates, while Johann and his family settled in the city itself.
