Heinrich Vieter

Heinrich Vieter was a German Pallottine missionary to the German colony of Kamerun. Vieter arrived in Douala with seven other members of the mission on 25 October 1890. [Ngoh 92.] Over the next 13 years, Vieter led the Pallottines as they opened missions and schools across the territory. [Ngoh 92–3.] He befriended the young Ntsama Atangana at the mission school in Kribi; Atangana would later gift the Pallottines with land in Jaunde. [Nde.] When a Bulu leader Martin-Paul Samba was sentenced to death for treason against Germany in 1914, Vieter appealed for a stay, but his requests were ignored. [Ngoh 115.]
