About German Adelaide: Community Heritage Walking Tour

Adelaide, South Australia

German settlement in Australia began in large numbers in 1838, with the arrival of immigrants from Prussia to Adelaide, in the then colony of South Australia. German immigrants became prominent in settling South Australia and Queensland. From 1850 until World War I, German settlers and their descendants comprised the largest non-British or Irish group of Europeans in Australia. The section of the City of Adelaide bounded by Gawler Place, Grenfell, Angas and Frome Streets was the centre of the German community in the city. This is where they lived, worked and relaxed. This two-hour guided walk gives insight into their lives, using existing buildings, old photos and the occasional salacious anecdote.
