Hahndorf

Established in 1839, Hahndorf is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement, located in the Adelaide Hills, 28km southeast of Adelaide, South Australia. Hahndorf's pioneer settlers were refugees escaping from religious persecution in Prussia (a north-eastern Germanic state).

Hahndorf was declared a State Heritage Area in 1988.
