Welcome to Heimat Adelaide

This is the publication site of the Heimat Adelaide Project. The Project aims to record all instances of German speakers living or working in the City of Adelaide, South Australia, between the years of 1836 and 1920. This is a work in progress. As more information comes to light, pages will be updated.

Within the Wiki are pages for each individual (whether male or female, adult or child), families where multiple members were associated with Adelaide, businesses that were owned or managed by Germans, churches where German was the language of worship, schools where teachers were German, and organisations that were set up predominantly to service the German speaking community.

Below is an animated map showing where German speakers are recorded as living during this period.
