Dannhauser is a former coal mining town in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. History The town of Dannhauser was named after Renier Dannhauser, a German settler, who purchased the farm Palmietfontein from the Natal Government in 1872. It was proclaimed a village in 1937. Description Cattle and sheep farming take place in the district.
Contemporary Dannhauser covers five farms: Tweediedale, Gleneagles, Rocky Branch, Cornwall, and Klipkuil. Durnacol housing is relatively cheap now as the coal mines there are redundant.
The town consists of one main street, and the main shops are the post office, bank, pharmacy, and some grocery and hardware stores.
