Heaven
Is Our Homeland:
The Glückstalers
in New Russia and
North America. Roadshow
Productions for
the Glückstal
Colonies Research
Association. The four
villages known as
the Glückstal
Colonies were
established
northwest of
Odessa in
1809-1810.
However, the
earliest of these
immigrants had
already arrived in
July, 1804.
Eventually 106
families were
settled in
Glückstal in the
spring of 1809.
The first 100
families of
Neudorf arrived in
1808-1809. These
families lived
with other
settlers at three
different
locations before
establishing
Neudorf in the
spring of 1810. In
the same spring,
the 68 families of
Bergdorf (who
arrived in
1808-1809) and the
99 families of
Kassel (who
arrived in the
fall of 1809) were
also settled.
Glückstalers
began the
migration to North
America in 1874,
first settling in
Hutchinson County,
Dakota Territory.
Later they moved
north and west as
the railroads were
completed and land
became available.
Migration
continued to
Western Canada,
the Pacific
Northwest and
California. Today,
descendants of
these Glückstal
Colonies are found
throughout the
United States and
Canada, parts of
Europe,
particularly
Germany, in
Australia, and in
the former Soviet
Union. VHS

Schmeckfest.
Fargo,
North
Dakota:
Prairie
Public
Broadcasting,
2000.
Across
two
centuries
the
Germans
from
Russia
have
endured
and
survived
famine,
wars,
prairie
fires,
and
the
poverty
of
frontier
life.
From
the
Russian
steppe
to
the
grasslands
of
Argentina,
from
the
American
prairie
to
the
tundra
of
Siberia,
this
ethnic
group’s
resourcefulness,
particularly
in
the
growing
and
preparation
of
food
for
their
large
families
has
become
a
rich
legacy.
In
German-Russian
life,
"food
was
love,"
and
prairie
mothers
who
left
no
records
of
their
lives
are
remembered
daily
in
the
recipes
and
rituals
of
food
preparation.
