| Description : |
Plate 12 of George French Angas' South Australia Illustrated: Klemzic. A village of German settlers near Adelaide. Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'About three miles from Adelaide is situated the picturesque village of Klemzic, on the banks of the Torrens: it is entirely populated by one of the various bodies of Prussian Emigrants ... their houses and cultivation are in the style of their own country ... Poultry, butter, vegetables, and fruit, are frequently brought into Adelaide for sale by the women, whose picturesque style of dress, and simplicity of manners, obtain for these peasants a considerable share of custom'. Klemzig was settled in late 1838 by the first significant group of German migrants in South Australia. The group came to South Australia with the financial assistance of George Fife Angas. The village was named after a town in Brandenburg, the area of Prussia from where many of the settlers came. Klemzig is now part of the metropolitan area of Adelaide. |
