In this series I have attempted to bring you to the hills chasing the alphabet.................................................... Hahndorf was settled by Lutheran migrants, many of the settlers arrived aboard the Zebra on 28 Dec 1838. The town was mamed after the Zebra's captain Dirk Meinerts Hahn. It is Australia's oldest surving German settlement................................................ German influence is apparent in Hahndorf and is seen on the traditional fachwerk architecture of the original surviving buildings............. Due to the first world war, in 1917 the South Australian Government changed many German place names. Hahndorf was changed to Ambleside after the nearby railway station. The town reverted to Hahndorf on 12 Dec 1935 after the enactment of the South Australia Nomenclature Act of 1935...... Hahndorf..................................................
