History
Bishop Anastatius Hartmann (the Patron) was born in Atwis, in the Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland on 24 February 1803. He came to India as a missionary and worked in places like Gwalior, Patna and Mumbai. He founded schools and dispensaries and carried out charitable works for the poor and weaker sections of society.
Inspired by his life and to carry on his work of educational work the Capuchin fathers founded Hartmann College in 1967, and have chosen him to be the patron of the college. The motto is "He Who Loves Knowledge Loves Discipline" which was the guiding principle of Bishop Hartmann, the servant of God.
