  • Locality Guide for German Research in the Beresan Enclave, Odessa Region, Russia (Now Ukraine) by Carolyn Schott April 2021
    Locality Guide for German Research in the Beresan enclave, Odessa region, Russia (now Ukraine) By Carolyn Schott April 2021 Historical Background The land where the Beresan enclave is located was ceded to Russia from Turkey in 1792 through the Treaty of Jassy. The land was very sparsely settled at that time. Tsar Alexander I, following the example of his grandmother, Catherine the Great, published a manifesto on 20 February 1804, inviting European settlers (primarily Germans) to settle the steppes of “New Russia.” These German colonists were promised: • Religious freedom • Exemption from taxes for 10 years • Exemption from military service and billeting troops (unless they were en route to a battle) • Loans, payable in 10 years, to get established Image of Beresan colonies from Germans from and purchase seed, food, etc. for their families Russia Settlement Locations, • Exemption from paying duty on personal www.germansfromrussiasettlementlocations.org/ possessions that they brought into Russia p/maps.html : accessed 10 March 2020. • Exemption from serfdom • Ability for craftsmen to join guilds/associations, and practice their trade freely • Land (30-60 dessiatin, which equals about 80-160 acres) German families from Württemberg, Baden, the Rhineland/Pfalz, and Alsace responded to this manifesto, beginning in 1803. Immigrants reported first to a quarantine station in Dubossari on the Dniester River, and then were assigned to their colonies. The first arriving colonists were settled in colonies near Odessa, in Molotschna, and in Crimea. The first colonies in the Beresan enclave were settled in 1808—Rohrbach and Worms (Lutheran). Additional mother colonies (both Lutheran and Catholic) were settled from 1809 through 1819.

  • Reise: the Emigration of the Germans to the Russian Empire Julie Reiten
    Reise: The Emigration of the Germans to the Russian Empire Julie Reiten Modern Germany Although they tend to be ignored by persons other than their descendants, the story of the Germans from Russia is nevertheless a significant one. The Germans from Russia were a part of a great emigration movement from Germany though they went east instead of west to America like their better known cousins. The descendants of the Germans from Russia today have a unique sense of identity as is evinced by the many historical societies they have set up in America and their continued transmission of traditions and culture. In Russia, the German colonists were isolated in a foreign land and so they created a little Germany around them and did the same when they moved to the United States, or at least that is what they like to believe. There is evidence, however, that the Germans in the Russian Empire did not hold themselves completely separate as they exchanged culture and probably some genes with the people native to their new home. A study of the German-Russians provokes questions concerning such cultural interaction as well as many others including why this mass movement took place and what became of the Germans in Russia. The term 'Germans from Russia' is somewhat misleading as relatively few Germans settled within the modern boarders of Russia. Instead the distinct areas of German settlement were the Volga region, the Volhynia region, southern Ukraine, the Crimea, Bessarabia and the Caucasus. The Volga Germans settled on both sides of the Volga river around the town of Saratov.1 The Volhynia region was once a border land siting astride the border between the Ukraine in the Russian Empire and Poland.2 Nowadays, the whole of the Volhynia region is inside Ukraine, west of Kiev.

  • Terms of Racial Endearment: Nazi Categorization of Mennonites in Ideology and Practice, 1929–1945
    Terms of Racial Endearment: Nazi Categorization of Mennonites in Ideology and Practice, 1929–1945 Benjamin W. Goossen ABSTRACT The Christian Mennonite denomination maintained a privileged position within National Socialist thought and policy through its conceptual and legal association with an evolving series of racial categories. Nearly all the world’s half-million Mennonites lived outside German borders between the World Wars. This allowed a small number of church leaders and sympathetic scholars to shape their image within Germany, especially as Hitler’s wartime expansionism brought a fourth of the denomination’s members under Nazi rule. Casting Mennonitism as part of one or more subgroups within a larger Germanic whole benefitted most adherents in regions administered by the Third Reich while simultaneously enabling their enrollment in propaganda and empire building. In November 1929, the Nazi Party organ, Völkischer Beobachter, carried a front-page article entitled “The Death of the German Farmer Community in Soviet Russia.” Authored by Alfred Rosenberg, the editor and National Socialist ideologue who had led the party while Hitler was in prison, it outlined the plight of some 13,000 German-speaking refugees from Stalinization who, encamped in Moscow, sought escape from the Soviet Union to Germany. For Rosenberg, the crisis symbolized a world-historic clash between what he called Judeo-Bolshevism and the German race. “Bolshevism is a comrade of the Jewish efforts to destroy the entire Germanic world,” Rosenberg wrote. “The National Socialist movement recognized this danger from the beginning and built that into its essence; the extermination of the despairing German farmers in Soviet Russia gives opportunity to sharpen this recognition anew.”1 Penned shortly before the appearance of Rosenberg’s bestselling book, Der Mythus des 20.

    DEM SCHWERTE MUSS DER PFLUG FOLGEN: ŰBER-PEASANTS AND NATIONAL SOCIALIST SETTLEMENTS IN THE OCCUPIED EASTERN TERRITORIES DURI NG WORLD WAR TWO Simone C. De Santiago Ramos, M.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Alfred C. Mierzejewski, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Denis Paz, Committee Member Adrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies De Santiago Ramos, Simone C. Dem Schwerte Muss Der Pflug Folgen: Űber- Peasants and National Socialist Settlements in the Occupied Eastern Territories during World War Two. Master of Arts (History), May 2007, 100 pp., 1 table, 4 figures, references, 273 titles. German industrialization in the nineteenth century had brought forward a variety of conflicting ideas when it came to the agrarian community. One of them was the agrarian romantic movement led by Adam Műller, who feared the loss of the traditional German peasant. Műller influenced Reichdeutsche Richard Walther Darré, who argued that large cities were the downfall of the German people and that only a healthy peasant stock would be able to ‘save’ Germany. Under Darré’s definition, “Geopolitik” was the defense of the land, the defense with Pflug und Schwert (plow and sword) by Wehrbauern, an ‘Űberbauer-fusion’ of soldier and peasant. In order to accomplish these goals, new settlements had to be established while moving from west to east. The specific focus of this study is on the original Hegewald resettlement ideas of Richard Walther Darré and how his philosophy was taken over by Himmler and fit into his personal needs and creed after 1941.

  • ARE WE GERMANS, OR RUSSIANS, OR AMERICANS? the Mcintosh County German-Russians During World War I
    ARE WE GERMANS, OR RUSSIANS, OR AMERICANS? The McIntosh County German-Russians During World War I BY GORDON L. ISEMINGER US Army Private Christian Kurle (left), Wishek, was presented the Distinguished Service Cross and the Croix de Guerre August 12, 1919, by US Army Lieutenant Colonel Thomas J. Rogers. Read more about Private Kurle on page 14. SHSND 2002.108.3 Volume 82.2 3 This article was originally published in North Dakota History Vol. 59, No. 2, Spring 1992, and is reprinted with additional images to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the country’s entry into World War I. The new introduction is by author Gordon L. Iseminger. Historians regard World War I as a turning point in the history of the modern world. The war ended a period of four hundred years during which Europe was the center of the world. When the United States entered the war in April 1917, it marked the emergence of this non-European nation as the world’s greatest power. In North Dakota, the war had local ramifications for the German-Russians of McIntosh County. Isolated as they had been on their farms, this German-speaking ethnic group had not been unaffected by the war. For these North Dakotans who could have been identified as Russians, Germans, or Americans, that World War I was a reality for them was evident by their support of the war effort—coaxing their farms to produce more, purchasing Liberty Bonds and War Saving Stamps, subscribing to Red Cross drives, and giving up their sons and daughters to become soldiers and nurses.

  • Georg Leibbrandt, Karl Stumpp, and the Fate of Jews and Ukrainians In
    New Archival Discoveries on Wannsee Conference Participant Georg Leibbrandt and “SS-Mann” Karl Stumpp Copyright © 2011 By Samuel Zinner Introductory Note: This paper was presented at the German Studies Association Conference, New Orleans, 20 September 2003. Please be aware that much of the most vital aspects of this essay are contained in the endnotes. I. Georg Leibbrandt Georg Leibbrandt was born in 1899 in the German Lutheran village of Hoffnungsfeld near Odessa, Ukraine.i In 1933 Alfred Rosenberg appointed him Director of the Eastern Division of the NSDAP’s Foreign Policy Office where he functioned as Rosenberg’s political advisor.ii Works on Leibbrandt tend to neglect analyzing both his pre-Naziiii and Nazi-era essays, and instead restrict themselves mainly to archival documentation. The literature seems to be unaware of Leibbrandt’s most openly anti- Semitic publications, namely, his essays published in the Nationalsozialistische Monatshefte (NM). These reveal a fully, indeed rabidly committed Nazi, who had embraced without reservation the ideological, political, and religious theories of Rosenberg.iv A typical example of Leibbrandt’s Nazi-era thinking is found in “Die Entwicklung des Bolschewismus,” NM vol. 82 (January 1937). Immediately after a quote about “Asiatic Bolshevism’s” supposed desire to exterminate European culture, Leibbrandt writes: Jewry is a social-parasitical phenomenon. It has always understood to exploit the wounds in the Völkerleben. One can only understand the development of Bolshevism under the leadership of Jewry when one considers this racial-biologically. Just as there are parasites in animal and plant life, the same phenomenon is observed also in the Völkerleben (cf.
