Hahndorf, German settlement in Adelaide Hills, Australia.
The town of Hahndorf extends along the main street with traditional timber-framed buildings and German architectural elements at 341 meters elevation.
German Lutheran settlers established Hahndorf in 1839, naming it after Captain Dirk Hahn who secured their safe passage to South Australia.
The Hahndorf Academy functions as a cultural center, housing art exhibitions, historical displays, and educational programs about German-Australian heritage.
Visitors can reach Hahndorf by taking a 28-kilometer drive from Adelaide through the Southeast Freeway or using regular bus services.
Every business on the main street maintains German traditions, from restaurants serving bratwurst to shops selling handcrafted cuckoo clocks.
