Hahndorf: Echoes of the Past Documentary
Step back in time and experience the captivating story of Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement through the lens of a powerful new documentary, Hahndorf: Echoes of the Past.
Learn about the Prussian immigrants who come to SA in 1839.
The film uncovers rarely told stories of South Australia’s early settlers, weaving together personal narratives, historic milestones, and the spirit of migration that shaped a community.
The official launch will take place at The Mercury Theatre, Morphett Street, on Thursday May 15 at 6.00pm.
Created by local historian and tour operator Sharon Pippos, the documentary features interviews, archival material, and stunning visuals of Hahndorf’s iconic village — attracting over 1.2 million visitors annually. Sharon is joined by SA history enthusiast, Keith Conlon, and descendants of founding families of Hahndorf.
This documentary is a tribute to the resilience, culture, and contributions of the people who helped build South Australia.
