Hahndorf Museum Art Gallery

Hahndorf was settled in early 1839 by immigrants from Prussia who came seeking religious freedom and a better life. Their countryside was impoverished and wars frequent. They were granted land in the Adelaide Hills and were soon growing enough produce not only for their own families but to supplement the needs of Adelaide. The German migration museum exhibits objects relating to the life of Hahndorf's pioneering families, including religious and scholastic artefacts. Their religion underpinned their activities and education was a prime focus.
