Hahndorf, South Australia
Hahndorf is a small town in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia. Currently an important tourism spot, it has previously been a centre for farming and services. It is accessible from Adelaide, the South Australian capital, via the South Eastern Freeway. The town was settled by Lutheran migrants largely from in and around a small village then named Kay in Prussia and now known as Kije, Lubusz Voivodeship in Poland. Many of the settlers arrived aboard the ''Zebra'' on 28 December 1838. The town is named after the Danish Dirk Meinhertz Hahn, captain of the ''Zebra''. It is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement.
== German influence ==
German influence is very apparent in Hahndorf and is seen physically in the traditional ''fachwerk'' architecture of the original surviving buildings. There are also many restaurants in the town serving German cuisine.
Due to the First World War in Europe, in 1917 the South Australian Government changed many German place names. The name Hahndorf was changed to ''Ambleside'' after the nearby Ambleside railway station. Hahndorf was re-instated as the town's name with the enactment of the South Australia Nomenclature Act of 1935 on 12 December 1935.〔Nomenclature Act, 1935〕 There are still references to the name ''Ambleside'' in and around the town today.
