The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection is pleased
to announce Map 3: Color Map of the Volga Villages – a specially-designed
geographic map for easy identification of 1) 18th century mother colonies,
Germanic charter districts, and historic Russian cantons; 2) 19th
century daughter villages, Russian provinces, plus Sarepta district
and Old Samara district; and 3) fourteen 20th century Republic kantons
with boundary outlines.
Most German colonies
were established near the Volga River in the Czarist provinces of
Saratov and Samara. “Bergseite” on the Volga River’s
west bank is a portion of Saratov province. “Wiesenseite”
on the Volga River’s east bank is a portion of Samara province.
The 18th century charter-districts of Catherine, Pokrowsk, and Warenburg
were established along the Volga River in Samara province.
An accompanying map supplement includes a printed list
of 107 “mother colonies” by village name, translitered
names, founding dates, and mercator grid co-ordinates.
Visual symbols identify religious affiliation of Lutheran/Reformed,
Catholic, and Mennonite villages. Mother colonies and daughter villages
are distinguished by color code and century founding. Saratov city
and Engels/Pokrowsk (Republic capital) with kanton capitals are
indicated with a surround circle.
The double-sided color map has additional “extract”
maps on reverse side to identify: 1)a hachured geographic overlay
of German Volga Republic upon historic Czarist provinces of Samara
and Saratov; 2) German “Old Samara” daughter villages;
and 3) Sarepta, a German city famed for silk and wool textiles manufacturing
in historic Czarist province of Astrakhan.
Our appreciation is extended to the following reviewers in the
Germans from Russia community who assisted in village verification
and location, proofreading, and editing of the map and the supplement:
Richard Kisling, San Francisco, California; Dr. Dona Reeves-Marquardt,
Austin, Texas; Patrice Miller, San Ramon, California; Kathy O’Malley,
Mount Ida, Arkansas; and Rick Rye, Lincoln, Nebraska.
This double-sided map is suitable for wall display and also useful
for personal gifts, youth education and scholarly research. A map
supplement of Mother Colonies provides additional information.

Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Primary German Villages of the
