The history of Hahndorf
So, how did a German-inspired village make its way into the Adelaide Hills?
Founded in 1839, the town was settled by Lutheran migrants from Prussia (now modern-day Poland). Almost 200 Prussians set sail on the Zebra, arriving at Port Adelaide on the 28 December 1838.
The town was named after the Zebra’s Danish Captain, Dirk Hahn. Our ancestors were on that boat and settled on the land that we still call home today.
The main street, Mount Barker Road, is filled with authentic artisan shops filled with premium handmade goods, and delectable produce including cheese, honey, handcrafted chocolates, and wine.
You’ll also find quintessential German gastronomy from the local pubs, inns, restaurants, and craft breweries.
The best way to experience the charm of Hahndorf is by foot, so park the car and wander up and down the main street. Perfect for all ages, kids will also take delight in exploring the lolly shops, gingerbread cafe, mini-golf green, magical fairy garden, and unique cuckoo clock store.
Historic Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement, and a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. We can’t wait to welcome you to Beerenberg Farm in Hahndorf.
