One solution was to actively encourage settlement from Europe. With this in mind in George Fife Angas, one of the directors of the South Australian Company and the man often referred to as the "Father of South Australia", travelled to London to try and attract immigrants.
Angas, who had spent much of his life helping create charitable committees and help Christians in distress, was moved by the persecution of the Lutherans. The first Lutheran settlers arrived on 25 November, at Port Misery.
It was carrying Lutheran immigrants. This was the second group of Prussians to arrive in South Australia. Hahn was so impressed by his passengers that he arranged for them to rent land in the Adelaide Hills. While Hahn was negotiating for the land, the immigrants lived in tents at Port Adelaide. They were originally allocated acres of land now the site of Hahndorf which was divided up so there was 38 acres for living quarters and the rest for farming.
Later the grant was expanded to acres. A group of twelve men on horseback and some women in a carriage travelled into the hills to inspect the site and Hahn was so taken by it that he declared "It seems to me as if nature had lavished her choicest gifts on South Australia, I should like to end my days here and never return to the busy world.
They were also provided with a preacher, Gotthard Daniel Fritzsche, and a substantial amount of livestock.
The early settlers worked hard planting crops and grazing the cattle they had been given. In the first year of their settlement at Hahndorf they all contributed to the construction of St Michael's Church.
Through sheer hard work the settlement thrived. Vineyards were established, the women worked as shepherds, the men hired themselves out to the surrounding landowners as cheap labour, and slowly substantial houses, many of which still stand, were built. Then Hahn organised to rent acres of land the present site of Hahndorf which was divided up so there was 38 acres for living quarters and the rest for farming.
