Hahndorf, located in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement. Founded in 1839 by German Lutheran migrants fleeing religious persecution in Prussia, the town was initially named after Dirk Meinerts Hahn, the captain of the ship Zebra, which brought the first settlers.
The town's layout was designed in a traditional German village style, with the Lutheran Church at its center. Over the years, Hahndorf has retained much of its German heritage, evident in its architecture, cuisine, and cultural festivals. During World War I, the town was temporarily renamed Ambleside due to anti-German sentiment, but it reverted to Hahndorf in 1935.
