At Home in Russia, at Home on the Prairie
Prairie Public Publications, Fargo, ND
"A river flows gently into its broad lagoon, its banks punctuated by once German villages, dazzling field of grain, abundant vineyard, fruit trees, and gardens. The land is fertile. The area is typical of many German settlements that once made these Russian steppes a breadbasket of grain and other agricultural products. The Germans who settled the area are largely gone now, scattered in a diaspora of forced migration through difficult decades of political unrest and change. And though the region no longer exists as when the Germans lived there, it endures in the minds of the people, lingering fragilely 'da haam in Russland,' ;back home in Russia."

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.
