In the 18th century, many members of the Stefner/Stewner family were living in the Salzburg area, Austria and migrated several times during the next 250 years: Salzburg -> East-Prussia –> Poland –> Volhynia –> Russia –> Volhynia –> Poland –> Germany. Many moved from Volhynia to Canada.

St. Johann-Huttegg in the Archdiocese of Salzburg, Austrian Empire I discovered that 8 Stefner/Steffner-families were forced to migrate from the Salzburg area to East- Prussia. This occurred during 1731-32 and was imposed by the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg Leopold Anton E. Freiherr von Firmian. He ordered the expulsion of those Lutherans who did not convert to Catholicism.

The diesel was loaded on 4 May on the 113,300t Dong-A Thetis, owned by the South Korean shipping company Dong-A Tanker. The 100,000t cargo of Rosneft product was sold to trading company Vitol for delivery to the Amsterdam-Rotter- dam-Antwerp region, a market participant says. The Dong-A Thetis was loaded at Russian pipeline crude exports berth 3 or 4 — which can handle crude and diesel following a recent upgrade, and mn b/d can accommodate 90,000-150,000t vessels with 15.5m draught. 6.0 Transit crude Russian crude It remains unclear whether larger loadings at Primorsk will become a regular 5.0 occurrence. “Smaller 50,000-60,000t cargoes are more popular and the terminal 4.0 does not always have the opportunity to stockpile larger quantities of diesel for 3.0 export,” a source familiar with operations at the outlet says.

  • Kaliningrad Study
    Kaliningrad in Europe Kaliningrad in Europe A study commissioned by the Council of Europe Edited by Mr Bartosz Cichocki Linguistic Editing œ Mr Paul Holtom, Mrs Catherine Gheribi This study has been drafted by a group of independent experts at the initiative of the Committee of Advisers on the Development of Transfrontier Co-operation in Central and Eastern Europe, an advisory body established by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. Although every care has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this study, the Council of Europe takes no responsibility for factual errors or omissions. The views expressed in the study are those of the authors and do not commit the Council of Europe or any of its organs. Factual information correct at March 2003. © Council of Europe, 2003 Foreword Walter Schwimmer Secretary General of the Council of Europe Kaliningrad, the city and the Oblast, are these days receiving a lot of attention from international circles. The Russian Federation has been actively raising the awareness of European institutions about the peculiar situation of the region, separated by mainland Russia and surrounded by land by two countries, Lithuania and Poland, soon-to- become members of the European Union. The perspective of the enlargement of the European Union to the Russia‘s exclave immediate neighbours is raising fears that the isolation of the Oblast would deepen and its economic and social backwardness worsen. The Council of Europe has responded to these legitimate preoccupation by taking recently several initiatives. In 2002, the Parliamentary Assembly held a thorough debate which led to the adoption of Recommendation 1579 on the Enlargement of the European Union and the Kaliningrad Region.

  • Enclave to Exclave: Kaliningrad Between Russia and the European Union
    Enclave To Exclave: Kaliningrad Between Russia And The European Union Brian Vitunic Columbia University The Kaliningrad region compels questions that neither Russia nor the European Union are ready to answer. Russian territory located outside of Russia’s contiguous borders, Kaliningrad’s unique geographic status stretches both the physical dimensions and conceptual cohesion of the European Union and Russia. When the surrounding countries Lithuania and Poland become EU members, probably in 2004, the 15,100-sq-km region will become a Russian exclave in “Schengenland.” The most immediate problem for the territory will be the impact of the border controls, visa regime, and customs agreements that new EU members must enact under the Schengen Agreement.1 Currently free of visa requirements, Kaliningraders would need Schengen visas for overland transit across Lithuania and Poland in the expanded EU. In addition to isolating with a paper wall the 1.3 million Kaliningrad residents from their own country of citizenship, restrictions on the movements of goods and people would damage Kaliningrad’s weak economy, which is propped by small-scale cross-border smuggling and legal trade,2 and potentially substitute a cordon sanitaire for active solutions to the region’s problems. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ivan Ivanov singled out the four main problems of the Kaliningrad territory at a 7 March 2002 meeting with European Commission officials and Polish and Lithuanian government leaders: visas, transit, energy, and fish.3 He noted that agreements with neighboring countries over fishery quotas address the fish issue; energy supply will be guaranteed by construction of a power-generating station in Kaliningrad as part of a Russian federal program in 2005.

  • Kaliningrad Oblast – the Flashback Edita Musneckiene, Lithuania
    Kaliningrad Oblast – the flashback Edita Musneckiene, Lithuania The main street crossing Šiauliai city is named Tilžės – used the old name of the town in Lithuania Minor (1). The streets surrounding my living place - Tilžės, Ragainės, Karaliaučiaus, Gumbinės, Stalupėnų was the names of towns until 1945, which are known now as Sovetsk, Neman, Kaliningrad, Gusev, Nesterov and located in recent Kaliningrad Oblast. A new highroad was built year ago from Šiauliai to Kaliningrad direction and was named Karaliaučiaus road. How does Šiauliai correlate with Kaliningrad when the distance between the cities is more than 200 km? Why so many place names are around? The answers are in the history. The main trade road from Riga via Šiauliai to Königsberg was connected Baltic countries and West Europe in the past and today. There are many reasons, why so often these names are referring in Lithuania: the nostalgic historical past of territory of Lithuania Minor, the roots of Lithuanian literature, writing and culture. There the first Lithuanian book by Martynas Mažvydas, was printed in Königsberg in 1547 and the first Lithuanian grammar ( Grammatica Litvanica ) by Daniel Klein was printed in 1653 there, the first Lithuanian poem "Metai" (The Seasons) was written by Kristijonas Donelaitis, who laid the foundations for Lithuanian poetry. ( 2) The Baltic Sea connected through the ages people and countries around it. In olden times there were strong trade and political connections. At 15 century the alliance known as HANZA connected 16 cities from 10 countries. The Baltic countries have developed not only the trade but had cultural connections as well.

The EU is also keen on co-operating on all the other important issues which concern this part of Russia and the wider Baltic region, including economic development, energy, environmental and health issues.

  • Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948
    Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 By Nicole M. Eaton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, chair Professor John Connelly Professor Victoria Bonnell Fall 2013 Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 © 2013 By Nicole M. Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda).

Many moved from Volhynia to Canada.
