Text in German thanking the president, R. Buring, senior, for his services to the choir. His son, R. Buring, junior, was also a member of the choir at the same time and may have been the creator of the artwork of this certificate. The Adelaider Liedertafel is a South Australian men's choir singing mainly German songs at various community gatherings and festive days. The Liedertafel is the oldest continuing male choir in Australia. While the origins of the choir date back to 1844, only eight years after the colony of South Australia was established by Governor Hindmarsh, it was in 1858 that a committee established the choir which still exists today.
