History of Hahndorf is interesting, where during the 1800's, religious persecution in Europe was so extreme that many Lutherans in Eastern provinces of Prussia emigrated. In 1838 some of these migrants reached Port Adelaide in the "Zebra". Captain Hahn the Master was so concerned for his passengers that he helped them find suitable land. They finally chose an area 29kms from Adelaide in the beautiful Adelaide Hills and established the delightful township of Hahndorf - in gratitutude for their captain.
