He was born near Ulm, Württemberg in Germany. In 1834, he was one of the first three missionaries summoned by Basel Mission for missionary service in Southwestern India. Johan Christopher Lehner, Christian Lenhard Greiner, and Samuel Hebich sailed to Malabar Coast boarding the ship "Malabar" on 15 July 1834, and they reached Kozhikode, also known as Calicut, on 14 October 1834. They were warmly received by Nelson, a British judge in Calicut. On hearing their mission to go Mangalore, Nelson wrote to his friend Findley Anderson, a Sub-collector of Mangalore, asking him to do all he could to help them. They finally arrived at Bokkapattana in Mangalore on 30 October 1834. With the help of Anderson, a house was bought from a Parsee for 4,900 rupees in Mangalore, that ultimately became the base for first German Basel Mission station in India. [1][4][4]
The missionaries soon acquired the local tongues like Kannada, Konkani, Tulu, and Malayalam; later, they engaged themselves in their missionary activities like preaching, constructing prayer halls, and converting some natives to Christianity with the help of British officials of East India Company. By mid of 19th century, the mission had grown with stations expanded to Belma in 1845, Mulki in 1845, Udupi in 1854, and Santhoor in 1865. Basel missionaries received substantial assistance from several British officials and planters, also continued after Indian subcontinent officially became part of British Raj.[4]
After twenty-six years of missionary service, he returned to Germany in 1866 with failing health, and died in 1868.[2]
