Hahndorf Echoes of the Past – Documentary

‘Hahndorf Echoes of the Past’ – a Documentary on the people who raised a village

Each year, over a million visitors are drawn to Hahndorf’s charm, history, and picturesque setting.
But beyond its bustling streets lies a deeper story—one of resilience, faith, and community.
Let us take you on a journey through time, guided by the voices of those whose ancestors built this village.

In 1838, a group of Prussian Lutherans, desperate to preserve their faith, left everything familiar behind to settle in an unknown land.
Their struggles, hopes, and triumphs shaped the town we see today. Through diaries, family records, and oral histories,
we bring to life the legacy of Hahndorf’s pioneers.

But history is more than just dates and official records—it’s personal. It’s raw. It’s the whispered stories passed
down through generations, still echoing in the present.

Special guests:

Descendants of the village founding families are the stars! They have been interviewed and are taking part to share their
family’s story and a little of their own. The story of Hahndorf is woven throughout the interviews. A compelling story
of people who were bound by faith and driven by survival to come to South Australia. If you’d like to organise a viewing
