The seat commemorates the 150th birthday of Hahndorf from 1839 to 1989.

The Captain of the “Zebra”, one of the emigrant ships, was Dirk Meinertz Hahn.  After some negotiation, he made an agreement with local landowners whereby many of his passengers could lease, and eventually purchase 150 acres of land at what is now Hahndorf.  This agreement was signed on January 25, 1839.  Approximately 240 of the emigrants were among the founders of the town which they names in honour of Captain Hahn.
