Steinfeld (formerly Stonefield) is a locality in South Australia on the plains east of the Mount Lofty Ranges, and north of the Sturt Highway.
[4][5] A Lutheran school existed from the 1880s until 1917, when it was forcibly closed by the state government as a result of World War I.
German was the predominant language in the area of the early days of the school, which posed challenges for teachers dealing with children with a poor grasp of English.
[6] In 1945, it was reported that the Automobile Association had erected signs on the Blanchetown–Truro road (now the Sturt Highway) indicating that one of the nearest public telephones was at Stonefield.
[7] The main part of the bounded locality now known as Steinfeld, including the original village, is in the Mid Murray Council.
