Hahndorf is in the Barossa Valley area of South Australia. This is a district that was settled by German immigrants in the early years of the nineteenth century, and contains many towns with German names.

Hahndorf itself was named after Danish Captain Dirk Meinhertz Hahn who brought these first German settlers out to South Australia on the ship Zebra in 1839. Captain Hahn also helped these German settlers to procure land for their farms.
