In 1845, having an interest in the problems faced by European immigrants, Hermann Blumenau reached an agreement with the Society for the Protection of German Emigrants to represent it and traveled to Brazil, aiming.
The city was founded September 2, 1850, by Hermann Blumenau and seventeen other German immigrants.
On February 4, 1880, the municipality of Blumenau was created, composed of about 13,000 residents.
Aware of comments about the Itajaí Valley, he explored it in detail, in association with his compatriot Ferdinand Hackradt, since the aforementioned society was dissolved.
After taking certain precautions, Hermann Blumenau headed for Germany, to seek immigrants.
Despite the floods, clashes with wild animals and even with the indigenous peoples, due to the work of German immigrants willing to migrate continuously in greater numbers, the settlement prospered.
Those first immigrants had a great support from the Brazilian government, who gave them land, housing, livestock, seeds, education and healthcare for very low prices, and in many cases, entirely free.
