Marananga is a locality in South Australia. It was known as Gnadenfrei before 1918 when names of "enemy origin" were changed to sound less German.
The Gnadenfrei Lutheran Church was established, then a German school was established in 1879. The school's name was changed to Marananga in 1918,[3] which is now also the name of the locality. Gnadenfrei means 'grace' and 'freedom'.[4] Marananga means "My hands" in the Aboriginal language of the Overland Corner tribe.[5]
Tourism
Marananga is now viewed as an ideal tourism location within the Barossa, home to wineries, restaurants, accommodation venues, and even a gin distillery.[6]
