Carstensen, Hugo, c. 1842, Photograph, B 7747

Captain Dirk Meinerts Hahn brought a group of persecuted Germans to South Australian on board the "Zebra" in 1838. His name was given to the settlement in recognition for his help in obtaining 150 acres of land near Mount Barker. The hard working Germans soon built houses from local stone and farmed on their farmlets which were built along a straight road in Hahndorf.
