Christina Sailer is one of many German immigrants who were interred within the South Brisbane Cemetery. The Sailer family owned Wurtemburg Farm at Rocklea, which in the mid-to-late 19th century was part of the rural ‘Boggo’ district that extended from Fairfield to Oxley.

Numerous German immigrants settled in the small farms in this area from the 1860s onwards. Among these were Gottfried Friedrich Sailer (1821-84), his wife Christina Friedericke (1826-1903) and their several children. Gottfried and Christina were originally from Grossbottwar, Württemberg, and married in 1857. They emigrated to Queensland in 1861.
