São Pedro de Alcântara: cradle of German colonization in Santa Catarina
April 2014
 Facts that mark the history of this region spend four centuries and date back to the eighteenth century. By socio-economic and political reasons, there was the need to create a road linking the town of Vila de Nossa Senhora do Desterro and the Vila de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres das Lages. The year was 1776, and by order of the Governor of the Captaincy of Santa Catarina this mission fell to Lieutenant José Luiz Marinho leading a group of explorers, opening a prick toward Lages. The route was extremely difficult.
 In 1777 there was the invasion of Santa Catarina Island by the Spaniards, event which highlighted the need to search for new alternatives and protection strategies. But only ten years later that the work of the interconnection was resumed, the work being completed in 1790.
 The elaboration of a defensive plan for Santa Catarina Island aimed installing two new villages in the path leading to Planalto Serrano. An initial assessment these would be colonized by married soldiers and farmers, aiming to military purposes; that idea did not prosper. Later, plans were made for the Azorean colonization was performed, but it has not worked well in practical effect.
 It was only in 1829 that the 1st nucleus on the path between Desterro and Lages was created, from the arrival of 635 German immigrants embedded in Bremen, and mostly from the regions of Hunsrüch and Eifel. These settled in the valley of Maruim river, forming the colony of São Pedro de Alcântara, first nucleus of German settlement in Santa Catarina State. Subsequently other two nuclei were created: in 1854, the Military Colony of Santa Teresa, and in 1860, the National Colony of Angelina. Read more »
 Nowadays we realize that much of this history is materialized in numerous monuments and buildings, in habits and customs, in faith and religiosity, in places and charms of landscape, São Pedro de Alcântara has a strong presence of German culture, and unquestionably remains alive to the present day. Walking through the city and surrounding area is faced with a very rich historical and cultural heritage.
 In Sede, name given by the inhabitants to the city centre, we find the beautiful Mother Church. It was built in 1929 for the centenary celebrations of the city. Has a rich collection of images within, and beyond the beautiful architecture, its dome, great height, reminds us to traits of St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is also in the city centre which we find the called Imperial Way - Kaiserlicherweg (in German), a stretch of about 1 km, paved with rough stones juxtaposed by slaves, is one of the fragments preserved remnants of the Way of Troops. In the highest part of this path you will reach the Salto waterfall, a touristic attraction of rare beauty.
 In Historic place called Santa Filomena is possible to know the great beauty of the old house Kretzer, built in 1920, and the Mosaic of Santa Filomena, work of Rodrigo de Haro, which is next to the cemetery. On the road that leads to Angelina, is still observed a number of large houses with predominantly German architecture, some completely preserved, others less so, but many are being retrieved. On this road you can still find the Campo de Demonstração, an area owned by the State Government, which were carried out agricultural activities and experiments, and the new techniques demonstrated to farmers and ranchers. Also located near of the Campo de Demonstração, is the entrance to a place known as Santa Barbara, first nucleus of German colonization. Owned by the Pauli family, currently is situated the Santa Barbara inn,and which was also the old chapel which collapsed in 1915, and had in its place built the symbolic Santa Barbara Oratory, where settlers invoked the favor of their patron saint.
  Near the city centre, between the hills and mountains is situated the Hoffmann village, site of great inspiration and magnificent landscapes, and it is also a region where cachaça is manufactured with a German style.
  In Santa Teresa, we find the Santa Teresa de Dermatologia Sanitária Hospital. Created in the 1940s had, at first, in order to confine and segregate people with leprosy people. The construction was based in a small town with houses, pavilions, school, theater and church, feature remains until the present day format, a place of valuable work dedicated to health in Santa Catarina State. I had the opportunity to know the Church of the Hospital. With its peculiar architecture, still preserves the original images and furniture. It is also in Santa Teresa that there is another important monument of expressions of faith and religiosity: the Bom Jesus da Santa Cruz Sanctuary, which is part of the site of pilgrimages known as Paths of Faith.
 In this work I present a selection of images of the places I visited in São Pedro de Alcântara over the last five years. I emphasize in my images: buildings, religiosity and landscapes of the region. It is a walk through natural beauties that permeate and integrate the rich history of the people of Santa Catarina State; people whom I have the honor to belong, and that through his own ethnology excites me every time to know them better.
