[[Category:Germany Project]] This page is part of the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] and the [[Project:France|France Project]] ==Alsace – Lorraine (French) / Elsass – Lothringen (German) Team Page== ===Team Members=== *[[Pennie-22|Laura Bozzay]] *[[Marchal-178|Isabelle Huth]] *[[Campbell-2634|Christine Preston]] *[[Trimbur-1|Paul Trimbur]] ===Information=== *https://www.britannica.com/place/Alsace-Lorraine *https://www.genealoger.com/german/ger_2_alsace.htm *http://dgmweb.net/Ancillary/Geog/Europe/Alsace-Lorraine.html The area known today as Alsace – Lorraine was for most of its historical time separate entities. The idea of putting Alsace together with Lorraine was actually, a German one, and happened during one of the times that Germany had control of the areas. It was done in 1871 after the Franco-German War as an efficiency measure. The German Imperial Territory of Elsass-Lothringen was comprised of 5,067 square miles (13,123 square km) of territory that was ceded by France to Germany in 1871. This territory was returned to France in 1919 after World War I. Then it was ceded again to Germany in 1940 during World War II in 1945 again returned to France. During the rest of its history Alsace and Lorraine were independent of each other with their own cultures and allegiances. During ''The Treaty of Mersen'' parts of Alsace or Lorraine were under Germanic rule. *https://www.themaparchive.com/treaty-of-mersen-870.html *https://www.encyclopedia.com/reference/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/mersen-treaty Essentially after their nephew King Lothair of Lotharingia died, his kingdom was divided so that Lorraine along with Belgium and the Netherlands went to Charles of France while Alsace and the banks of the Lower Rhine went to Louis the German. Germany as a country did not exist until 1871 but the concept of people with a Germanic culture existed since Roman times. In 1815 Lorraine lost Saarlouis and Saarbrücken to Prussia as part of the Rhine province. Areas between Queich and Lauter Rivers went to Bavaria. Prussia and Bavaria eventually became part of what we call Germany today in 1871. Following the Franco-Prussian War in 1870/1, all of Alsace except for the Belfort territory and the northeastern part of Lorraine went to Germany. By 1871 Alsace-Lorraine became a buffer zone between France and Germany. Alsace (without Belfort) with Moselle and 1/3 of Meurthe in Lorraine made an imperial state. Prussia, Baden and Bavaria wanted to annex the area to their states, but it remained a territory of the German Empire. ===Alsace History=== *900s Alsace belonged to the Holy Roman Empire as part of the Duchy of Swabia-Alsace. * 1300s-1400s During this period many wars were fought between France and what would eventually become the country of Germany for control of the area. * 1520s Protestant Reformation swept through the cities but many of the rural areas remained Catholic * 1618-1648 During the Thirty Years' War the area was overtaken with Swedish, Austrian and French troops. The French took control in 1639. * 1648 - Numerous immigrants arrived from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Lorraine, Savoy and other areas. Anabaptist refugees came from Switzerland, especially Bern. Strassbourg became a main center of the early Anabaptist movement * 1681 Strassbourg becomes part of France. * 1697 Lower Alsace (northern) went to France. * 1789 The French Revolution brought the first division of Alsace into the departements of Haut- and BasRhin (upper and lower Rhine respectively) * 1790 Saales and Schirmeck were moved from Lower Alsace to Vosges. Alsace was divided into Bas-Rhin (Lower Rhine) and Haut-Rhin (Upper Rhine). * 1798 Mulhouse, a republic in the Swiss confederation since the 16th century, joined France. * 1801 All land west of the Rhine was made part of France. * Language before 1870 in Alsace (French / Elssas German) 77% spoke some form of German. French was mainly for the upper class. During German rule French was considered a foreign language and only taught in secondary schools. Even through the language and race was mainly German, the majority of the citizens preferred to be part of France. * Prussian: 1870-1871 * 1872 Part of the Department of the Vosges (Vallee de la Brusche) was annexed to Alsace Lorraine. * 1890 Population was 77% Catholic, 21% Protestant, 2% Jewish, with 678 Mennonites in lower Alsace and 1,012 in Upper Alsace. * 1919 Alsace became part of France following World War I. The old Alsatian departments of Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin were restored. * 1939-45 Alsace became part of Germany during World War II. * 1945 German control of Alsace was returned to France. Alsace takes in the departments of Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, and, since 1871 the Territory of Belfort. ==Lorraine History== * 840, Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious died. The Carolingian Empire was divided among Louis' three sons by the Treaty of Verdun of 843. The middle realm, known as Middle Francia, went to Lothair I, reaching from Frisia in Northern Germany through the Low Countries, Eastern France, Burgundy, Provence, Northern Italy, and down to Rome. On the death of Lothair I, Middle Francia was divided in three by the Treaty of Prüm in 855, with the northern third called Lotharingia and going to Lothair II. Due to Lotharingia being sandwiched between East and West Francia, the rulers identified as a duchy from 870 onward, enabling the duchy to ally and align itself nominally with either eastern or western Carolingian kingdoms in order to survive and maintain its independence. Thus it was a duchy in name but operated as an independent kingdom. *870, Lorraine allied with East Francia while remaining an autonomous duchy. In 962, when Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, restored the Empire (restauratio imperii), Lorraine was designated as the autonomous Duchy of Lorraine within the Holy Roman Empire. It maintained this status until 1766. *959 Lower Lorraine (northern part) included territory in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Upper Lorraine covered parts of France, Germany (near Trier) and Switzerland. The name Lorraine was adopted by the duchy of Upper Lorraine and totally separated from Lower Lorraine. *1250 Lorraine left the Holy Roman Empire to join France. *1300s-1400s During this period many wars were fought between France and what would eventually become the country of Germany for control of the area. The administrative region of Lorraine is larger than the 18th century duchy of Lorraine, which gradually came under French sovereignty between 1737 and 1766. The modern region includes provinces and areas that were historically separate from the duchy of Lorraine proper. These are: * Barrois * Three Bishoprics: non-contiguous territories around Metz, Verdun, and Toul, which were detached from the Holy Roman Empire in the 16th century and came under French sovereignty. * Several small principalities, which were still part of the Holy Roman Empire at the time of the French Revolution. Some historians consider the traditional province of Lorraine as limited to the duchy of Lorraine proper, while others consider that it includes Barrois and the Three Bishoprics. The duchy of Lorraine was originally the duchy of upper Lorraine, and did not include the entire area since called Lorraine. The case of Barrois is the most complicated: the western part of Barrois (west of the Meuse), known as Barrois mouvant, was detached from the rest of Barrois in the early 14th century and taken over by French sovereignty. The largest part of Barrois (east of the Meuse River) was the Duchy of Bar, part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the 15th century, it was united with the Duchy of Lorraine by the marriage of the Duke of Bar, René of Anjou, with Isabella, daughter of the Duke of Lorraine. Thus the duchies of Bar and Lorraine were united in personal union under the same duke, although formally they were officially separate until being annexed and incorporated into the Kingdom of France in 1766. During the French Revolution, four departments were created from the main parts of the territories of Barrois, Three Bishoprics and the Duchy of Lorraine: * Meuse, * Meurthe, * Moselle and * Vosges. *1737-1766 Duchy of Lorraine, ruled by Stanislas Leszczynski, dethroned king of Poland, became a French province in 1766 as pre-arranged. * 1790 Lorraine had four departements: Meurthe, Meuse, Moselle and Vosges. *1801 All land west of the Rhine was made part of France. Language: Before 1870 French was the dominant language in what was sporadically to be German Lothringen / French Lorraine. *Prussian: 1870-1871 * 1919 The Lorraine (Lothringen) section became the department of Moselle. * 1945 Lorraine is returned to France, it corresponds to the departments of Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and parts of the departments of Meuse and of Vosges. ===Maps=== Alsace 48.3182° N, 7.4416° E Lorraine 48.8744° N, 6.2081° E * https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Old_maps_of_Alsace-Lorraine * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=45F1FC18BE25F1BCAAF8C7202BA5F0EFB77F7CD5&thid=OIP.WGymiYQI4bkqV51rzWqaRQHaG7&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsites.lafayette.edu%2Fspecialcollections%2Ffiles%2F2013%2F06%2FMap-of-France.jpg&exph=935&expw=999&q=alsace+lorraine+map&selectedindex=1&qpvt=alsace+lorraine+map&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6 * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=B5BEB8C63DB8C51B49AB419C118A1FADAB022656&thid=OIP.gb4OVU50ZwMYdO3UJtqksgAAAA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fd%2Fd6%2FAlsace-Lorraine_Dialects.png%2F310px-Alsace-Lorraine_Dialects.png&exph=551&expw=310&q=alsace+lorraine+map&selectedindex=3&qpvt=alsace+lorraine+map&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6 * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=170404FDE283AA23E476FD44D118D80B0D3B6096&thid=OIP.nnRuoLPlVqhk4kagapjB4AAAAA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F5%2F52%2FAlsace_Dialects.PNG%2F350px-Alsace_Dialects.PNG&exph=659&expw=350&q=alsace+lorraine+map&selectedindex=1&qpvt=alsace+lorraine+map&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6&ccid=nnRuoLPl&simid=608052353238240844&pivotparams=insightsToken%3Dccid_rn1IFw3C*mid_EF6C8A6C9C63FFC3D1ACBB931716F189FDCBD76B*simid_607999323303971931*thid_OIP.rn1IFw3Cmpdyunztxo6DGwHaKS&iss=VSI * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=42C45861ABEE228174BF2B4BCD7EF79B94A01C20&thid=OIP.hrYv3g0OXRV3D3Tl7yTHewHaGU&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcn.org%2F2%2Fnoel%2Falsace-lorraine.gif&exph=472&expw=553&q=alsace+lorraine+map&selectedindex=17&qpvt=alsace+lorraine+map&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6 * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=9426846ED94348563AE26B0C9D7956C8D8287507&thid=OIP.YoT-CtAacnu_CpPuqCixhgHaHa&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-Q8_HR06RTGo%2FTuAr1K6lxKI%2FAAAAAAAAAf0%2F0fodv3gTsQI%2Fs1600%2Falsace-lorraine_language%252Bmap.jpg&exph=1536&expw=1536&q=alsace+lorraine+map&selectedindex=10&qpvt=alsace+lorraine+map&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6 * https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=107109D790676BBD22273AB13F86C05E308595E8&thid=OIP.gZBcvvUaLnZIpyadGJaygwHaFj&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F3%2F3c%2FAlsace_Lorraine_departments_evolution_map-fr.svg%2F800px-Alsace_Lorraine_departments_evolution_map-fr.svg.png&exph=600&expw=800&q=Alsace-Lorraine+France+Map&selectedindex=17&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&eim=1,2,6 * http://www.melbmap.com.au/site/resources/overseas_indices/michelin_france_regional_map_516_coverage.jpg ===Current Resources=== '''a.

[[Category: Sources by Name]][[Category: Germany Genealogy Resources]] == Online Heritage Books == The Online Heritage Books (OHBs, in German OFBs) are online versions of a heritage book of a particular town. The entries from the books are connected to each other and eventually build a tree. In many cases those OHBs are transcriptions of the church books of the town. The people who work with the primary sources (that are explained on the starting page of the particular town and which are often church books, local censuses, published town histories and similar stuff) do that for a long time before the publication. In Germany there is the "Verein für Computergenealogie" (shortage Compgen) "Association of Computerized Genealogy". This club offers the infrastructure to publicize the online versions of the heritage book. Compgen has also transcribed many other resources, like the list of casualties of WWI or many Address books of many different towns. === Magdeburg === The particularity of the [https://ofb.genealogy.net OHB Magdeburg] is that they actually use very little church records. This is because in 1631 Magdeburg was completely destroyed and with it all church records. After that battle was taken a census, which is used as a primary source for this OHB. Beside the battle of 1631, there was a bombing in 1945. In that bombing, again all church records since 1631 were destroyed. So for this OHB, the local publisher, which is the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg" (something like "Working Group Genealogy Magdeburg") used the following sources: There is used a weekly newspaper, some books where families of certain guilds were collected, some special censuses that were processed in different books about the (immigrational) history of Magdeburg, an address book of 1817 and some registers that are kept in the City Archive. Records drawn upon to compile this secondary source include: * The microfilm of marriage proclamations that was scanned by the LDS. * The Census of Magdeburg taken in 1631, after the destruction of Magdeburg in the 30-Years-War. * The Guild Books of various guilds where it was noted when a member got a child or married. * A weekly newspapers where all the family announcements are used for this OHB. * The Address book of Magdeburg of 1817 * Inhabitant lists of certain immigration groups that had immigrated to Magdeburg * Edited by: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg * Published by: "Verein für Computergenealogie" (shortage Compgen) "Association of Computerized Genealogy". * Citation Example: ::: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg, ''[[Space: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg — Magdeburg | Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg — Magdeburg]]'' (Verein für Computergenealogie) * Inline Citation Example: :::[[#OFB_Magdeburg|OFB Magdeburg]]: [https://ofb.genealogy.net/famreport.php?ofb=magdeburg&ID=I6116&nachname=Schr%C3%B6der&lang=de Record] * [[Special: Whatlinkshere/Space: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Genealogie Magdeburg — Magdeburg | WikiTree Profiles that use this source]] ===Source Abbreviations Explained=== This site uses abbreviations.

Early in the 3rd century, the Alemanni drove the Romans beyond the Rhine and the Danube, but they in turn succumbed to the Franks under Clovis I, the decisive battle taking place in 496. The area later became part of the Holy Roman Empire. :The history of Baden as a state began in the 12th century, as a fief of the Holy Roman Empire. As a fairly inconsequential margraviate that was divided between various branches of the ruling family for much of its history, it gained both status and territory during the Napoleonic era, when it was also raised to the status of grand duchy. In 1871, it became one of the founder states of the German Empire. The monarchy came to an end with the end of the First World War, but Baden itself continued in existence as a state of Germany until the end of the Second World War. :Württemberg, often spelled "Wirtemberg", "Wurtemberg" or "Wuerttemberg" in English, developed as a political entity in southwest Germany, with the core established around Stuttgart by Count Conrad (died 1110). His descendants expanded Württemberg while surviving Germany's religious wars, changes in imperial policy, and invasions from France. The state had a basic parliamentary system that changed to absolutism in the 18th century. Recognised as a kingdom in 1806–1918, its territory now forms part of the modern German state of Baden-Württemberg, one of the 16 states of Germany, a relatively young federal state that has only existed since 1952. The coat of arms represents the state's several historical component parts, of which Baden and Württemberg are the most important. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg Wikipedia]: History of Baden Wurttemberg *[https://www.baden-wuerttemberg.de/en/our-state/state-history/ Baden-Württemberg.de]: State History *[https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=history+of+baden+wuerttemberg&view=detail&mid=D631432DFB39218EF318D631432DFB39218EF318&FORM=VIRE Bing]: History of Baden-Württemberg - Video *[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OFXzE6UFdP6y6T-o51vnhYyKqlFn6JZw/view?usp=sharing Waiblingen and Aldingen, Württemberg: Historic Administrative Hierarchy] from member John Witz ===Culture=== :Because Baden-Württemberg was created for administrative reasons it contains a number of different cultures within its area.

[[Category:Germany Project]] [[Category:German Roots]] [[Category:Estonia]] [[Category:Latvia]] [[Category:Lithuania]] This page is part of the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] ==Who are the Baltic-Germans?== The Baltic-Germans (''Deutsch-Balten'') are a German-speaking minority from the historic regions of Estland, Livland, and Kurland (collectively known in German as the ''Ostseeprovinzen''), now part of modern-day Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. German-speakers were settled in the region from the twelfth century and amounted to almost 200,000 individuals at the population's peak in the late nineteenth century, but were overwhelmingly displaced during the upheavals of the twentieth century and now consist of a world-wide diaspora as well as a few thousand still residing in their historic homeland. ==Resources== We are remarkably fortunate that many of the key resources for tracing Baltic-German ancestry are digitised and freely available. These are listed below. If you want to read more about how to begin tracing a Baltic-German pedigree, you might find [http://scottishgenealogy.weebly.com/baltic-german-genealogy.html this series of blog posts] helpful. ===Church Books and Revision Lists=== [https://www.ra.ee/dgs/explorer.php The Saaga Project] * This is the digital home of the National Archives of Estonia and the Tallinn City Archives. It contains images of church books for all parishes in what is now Estonia (historic Estland and part of Livland), revision lists, and other essential resources. Free to use, but account required. [https://www.raduraksti.arhivi.lv/ Raduraksti] * This is the digital home of the State Historical Archive of Latvia. Like Saaga, it contains images of church book for all parishes in what is now Latvia (part of historic Livland and Kurland) as well as some outwith the state's present borders, revision lists, and other documents. Free to use, but account required. [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1469151 Church Books of the St. Petersburg Lutheran Consistory] (Familysearch) * This collection of images contains duplicates of the church books of Lutheran congregations within the consistory of St. Petersburg (broadly western and northern Russia excluding the Baltic provinces) between 1833 and 1885. Many Baltic-Germans can be found here, but it is important to remember that the index is incomplete; consult the record images themselves. Free to use, but account required. ===Biographical Dictionaries and Printed Sources=== [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de//baltlex/start.html Baltische biographische Lexika] * This collaborative digitisation project between the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek and the Universitätsbibliothek Tartu includes scanned images of some of the key printed resources for Baltic-German genealogy, including the essential Genealogische Handbuch der baltischen Ritterschaften. Free to use. [https://bbld.de/ Baltisches biografisches Lexikon digital] * This is the digital version of the standard Baltic-German biographical dictionary. Its coverage is extensive and it is an important resource when exploring the life of any notable Baltic-German. [http://dspace.ut.ee/handle/10062/10 DSpace: Deutsche Bücher] * This extensive collection of digital books hosted by the University of Tartu contains numerous published genealogies and other works relevant to the study of Baltic-German individuals and families. ===Noble Genealogies=== ''Genealogisches Handbuch der baltischen Ritterschaften''
This is the standard printed work on the matriculated nobility of the Baltic provinces and has been digitised as follows (note that only the Estland and Oesel volumes were completed - the Livland and Kurland volumes contain only a moiety of the total number of noble families in those provinces). * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00000600.html Estland I]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00127527.html Estland II]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de//baltlex/Band_bsb00000601.html Estland III]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00000602.html Kurland I]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de//baltlex/Band_bsb00000603.html Kurland II]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00000558.html Livland I]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00000559.html Livland II]. * [https://personen.digitale-sammlungen.de/baltlex/Band_bsb00000345.html Oesel].

It includes parts of the historical regions of Franconia, Upper Palatinate and Swabia. It is considered a wealthy state with the second highest GDP. Two major rivers flow through the state, the Danube (Donau) and the Main. :Three German dialects are spoken in Bavaria - Austro-Bavarian in Old Bavaria (South-East and East); Swabian German (an Alemannic German dialect) in the Bavarian part of Swabia (South West); and East Franconian German in Franconia (North). In the 20th century an increasing part of the population began to speak Standard German, mainly in the cities. *[https://www.bayern.de/ Bayern.de]: Official Website *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria Wikipedia]: Bavaria *[https://www.britannica.com/place/Bavaria Britannica]: Bavaria *[https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bavaria WikiVoyage]: Bavaria *More info on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Bavaria Coat of Arms of Bavaria] ===Maps=== :Bavaria is a landlocked state in the southeast of Germany. With an area of 70,550.19 square kilometers (27,239.58 sq mi), Bavaria is the largest German state by land area, comprising roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany. Bavaria shares international borders with Austria, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland (across Lake Constance). The Bavarian Alps create a natural border with Austria and within the range is the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze. The Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest create another natural border with the Czech Republic. Neighboring states within Germany are Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Thuringia, and Saxony. :Maps Coordinates: 48°46′39″N 11°25′52″E *[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Bavaria Google Maps]: Bavaria Map *[https://geoportal.bayern.de/bayernatlas/?lang=de&topic=ba&bgLayer=atkis&catalogNodes=11,122 Geoportal]: Bayern - If you go to "Thema wechseln" - "Verwaltungsatlas" - "Kirchen" (on the left) - "kath.

In the 17th century, the Duke of Bavaria became a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The Kingdom of Bavaria existed from 1806 to 1918, when Bavaria became a republic. In 1946, the Free State of Bavaria reorganized itself on democratic lines. Bavaria has had a major influence on many events throughout European history. This link - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bavaria History of Bavaria] - is the source for almost anything you want to know about Bavaria's history. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: History of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Kingdom of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Duchy of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Empire Wikipedia]: The German Empire *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire Wikipedia]: Holy Roman Empire *[http://www.dvhh.org/history/index.htm#1700s Danube Swabian History] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabia Wikipedia]: Swabia === Culture=== :Bavarians foster different cultural identities: Franconia in the north, speaking East Franconian German, Bavarian Swabia in the south west, speaking Swabian German and Altbayern (so-called "Old Bavaria", the regions forming the "historic", pentagon-shaped Bavaria before the acquisitions through the Vienna Congress, nowadays the districts of the Upper Palatinate, Lower and Upper Bavaria). In Munich the Old Bavarian dialect was spoken, but nowadays mainly High German. :Bavarian culture (Altbayern) has a long and predominant tradition of Roman Catholic faith. Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI (Joseph Alois Ratzinger), was born in Marktl am Inn in Upper Bavaria and was Cardinal-Archbishop of Munich and Freising. Otherwise, the Franconian and Swabian regions of the modern State of Bavaria are historically more diverse in religion, with both Catholic and Protestant traditions. As of 2010, 54.4% of Bavarians still adhere to Roman Catholicism, though the number is on the decline; 20.4% of the population adheres to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria; Muslims make up 4.0% of the population; and 21.2% of Bavarians are irreligious or adhere to other religions. :Bavarians emphasize pride in their traditions. Traditional costumes collectively known as Tracht are worn on special occasions and include, in Altbayern, Lederhosen for males and Dirndl for females. Centuries-old folk music is performed. The Maibaum, or Maypole (which in the Middle Ages served as the community's yellow pages, as figurettes on the pole represent the trades of the village), and the bagpipes in the Upper Palatinate region bear witness to the ancient Celtic and Germanic remnants of cultural heritage of the region. There are a lot of traditional Bavarian sports disciplines, e.g. the Aperschnalzen is an old tradition of competitive whipcracking. :Cuisine in Bavaria has many dishes in common with Austria and Switzerland. It is known for its beer gardens, pretzels, potato dishes and beet dishes. Meats and noodles, coffee cakes and fruit cakes. Oktoberfest, beer gardens, castles, wood working, and alpine sports are all part of Bavarian culture. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_cuisine Wikipedia]: Bavarian cuisine *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/Bavaria LonelyPlanet]: Bavaria *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/bavaria/travel-tips-and-articles/top-10-reasons-to-visit-bavaria/40625c8c-8a11-5710-a052-1479d276d798 LonelyPlanet]: Top 10 reasons to visit Bavaria *[https://wikitravel.org/en/Bavaria WikiTravel]: Bavaria *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187293-Activities-Bavaria.html Tripadvisor]: Things to Do in Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Museums_in_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Category:Museums in Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_National_Museum Wikipedia]: Bavarian National Museum *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187293-Activities-c49-Bavaria.html Tripadvisor]: Museums in Bavaria *[https://www.guide-to-bavaria.com/en/Bavaria-Museums-Galleries.html Guide to Bavaria]: Museums and Galleries ==Research Help and Regional Resources== ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

Two major rivers flow through the state, the Danube (Donau) and the Main. :Three German dialects are spoken in Bavaria - Austro-Bavarian in Old Bavaria (South-East and East); Swabian German (an Alemannic German dialect) in the Bavarian part of Swabia (South West); and East Franconian German in Franconia (North). In the 20th century an increasing part of the population began to speak Standard German, mainly in the cities. *[https://www.bayern.de/ Bayern.de]: Official Website *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria Wikipedia]: Bavaria *[https://www.britannica.com/place/Bavaria Britannica]: Bavaria *[https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Bavaria WikiVoyage]: Bavaria *More info on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Bavaria Coat of Arms of Bavaria] ===Maps=== :Bavaria is a landlocked state in the southeast of Germany. With an area of 70,550.19 square kilometers (27,239.58 sq mi), Bavaria is the largest German state by land area, comprising roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany. Bavaria shares international borders with Austria, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland (across Lake Constance). The Bavarian Alps create a natural border with Austria and within the range is the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze. The Bavarian Forest and the Bohemian Forest create another natural border with the Czech Republic. Neighboring states within Germany are Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Thuringia, and Saxony. :Maps Coordinates: 48°46′39″N 11°25′52″E *[http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Bavaria Google Maps]: Bavaria Map *[https://geoportal.bayern.de/bayernatlas/?lang=de&topic=ba&bgLayer=atkis&catalogNodes=11,122 Geoportal]: Bayern - If you go to "Thema wechseln" - "Verwaltungsatlas" - "Kirchen" (on the left) - "kath.

In the 17th century, the Duke of Bavaria became a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The Kingdom of Bavaria existed from 1806 to 1918, when Bavaria became a republic. In 1946, the Free State of Bavaria reorganized itself on democratic lines. Bavaria has had a major influence on many events throughout European history. This link - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bavaria History of Bavaria] - is the source for almost anything you want to know about Bavaria's history. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: History of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Kingdom of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Duchy of Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Empire Wikipedia]: The German Empire *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire Wikipedia]: Holy Roman Empire *[http://www.dvhh.org/history/index.htm#1700s Danube Swabian History] *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabia Wikipedia]: Swabia === Culture=== :Bavarians foster different cultural identities: Franconia in the north, speaking East Franconian German, Bavarian Swabia in the south west, speaking Swabian German and Altbayern (so-called "Old Bavaria", the regions forming the "historic", pentagon-shaped Bavaria before the acquisitions through the Vienna Congress, nowadays the districts of the Upper Palatinate, Lower and Upper Bavaria). In Munich the Old Bavarian dialect was spoken, but nowadays mainly High German. :Bavarian culture (Altbayern) has a long and predominant tradition of Roman Catholic faith. Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI (Joseph Alois Ratzinger), was born in Marktl am Inn in Upper Bavaria and was Cardinal-Archbishop of Munich and Freising. Otherwise, the Franconian and Swabian regions of the modern State of Bavaria are historically more diverse in religion, with both Catholic and Protestant traditions. As of 2010, 54.4% of Bavarians still adhere to Roman Catholicism, though the number is on the decline; 20.4% of the population adheres to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria; Muslims make up 4.0% of the population; and 21.2% of Bavarians are irreligious or adhere to other religions. :Bavarians emphasize pride in their traditions. Traditional costumes collectively known as Tracht are worn on special occasions and include, in Altbayern, Lederhosen for males and Dirndl for females. Centuries-old folk music is performed. The Maibaum, or Maypole (which in the Middle Ages served as the community's yellow pages, as figurettes on the pole represent the trades of the village), and the bagpipes in the Upper Palatinate region bear witness to the ancient Celtic and Germanic remnants of cultural heritage of the region. There are a lot of traditional Bavarian sports disciplines, e.g. the Aperschnalzen is an old tradition of competitive whipcracking. :Cuisine in Bavaria has many dishes in common with Austria and Switzerland. It is known for its beer gardens, pretzels, potato dishes and beet dishes. Meats and noodles, coffee cakes and fruit cakes. Oktoberfest, beer gardens, castles, wood working, and alpine sports are all part of Bavarian culture. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_cuisine Wikipedia]: Bavarian cuisine *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/Bavaria LonelyPlanet]: Bavaria *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/bavaria/travel-tips-and-articles/top-10-reasons-to-visit-bavaria/40625c8c-8a11-5710-a052-1479d276d798 LonelyPlanet]: Top 10 reasons to visit Bavaria *[https://wikitravel.org/en/Bavaria WikiTravel]: Bavaria *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187293-Activities-Bavaria.html Tripadvisor]: Things to Do in Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Museums_in_Bavaria Wikipedia]: Category:Museums in Bavaria *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_National_Museum Wikipedia]: Bavarian National Museum *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187293-Activities-c49-Bavaria.html Tripadvisor]: Museums in Bavaria *[https://www.guide-to-bavaria.com/en/Bavaria-Museums-Galleries.html Guide to Bavaria]: Museums and Galleries ==Research Help and Regional Resources== ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

Following German reunification, Brandenburg was re-established in 1990 and became one of the five new states of the Federal Republic of Germany. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Province_of_Brandenburg Wikipedia]: Province of Brandenburg *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg#History Wikipedia]: History of Brandenburg *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margraviate_of_Brandenburg Wikipedia]: Margraviate of Brandenburg, a major principality of the Holy Roman Empire from 1157 to 1806 *[http://ostbrandenburg.com/brandenburg.htm Ostbrandenburg.com]: Neumark/Ostbrandenburg ===Culture=== :Lakes and hiking trails and cosmopolitan cities.

This section provides information about how to discover, access, and cite these record sources. There are 3 main types of records in Bremen: *Civil Registration - Civil registration didn't begin until about 1811 in Bremen. 1811-present for civil registrations of birth, death, marriage. There are two registry offices, Bremen-Mitte and Bremen-Nord. *Church Records - Church records (parish registers, or church books) are an important source for genealogy research prior to civil registration. The church recorded baptisms, marriages, deaths, burials. '''''TIP: Find religion of ancestors''''' *Family Heritage Books (Ortssippenbuch or Ortsfamilienbuch) - Town genealogies, known by many names including town lineage book, local heritage book, one-place-studies, Ortssippenbuch (OSB), and Ortsfamilienbuch (OFB) use civil registration records, but mainly relied on church records, and can therefore help you trace your ancestors, back as far as the 16th century. ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

This section provides information about how to discover, access, and cite these record sources. There are 3 main types of records in Bremen: *Civil Registration - Civil registration didn't begin until about 1811 in Bremen. 1811-present for civil registrations of birth, death, marriage. There are two registry offices, Bremen-Mitte and Bremen-Nord. *Church Records - Church records (parish registers, or church books) are an important source for genealogy research prior to civil registration. The church recorded baptisms, marriages, deaths, burials. '''''TIP: Find religion of ancestors''''' *Family Heritage Books (Ortssippenbuch or Ortsfamilienbuch) - Town genealogies, known by many names including town lineage book, local heritage book, one-place-studies, Ortssippenbuch (OSB), and Ortsfamilienbuch (OFB) use civil registration records, but mainly relied on church records, and can therefore help you trace your ancestors, back as far as the 16th century. ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

[[Category:Confederation of the Rhine]] ==Confederation of the Rhine== The Confederation of the Rhine (German: Rheinbund; French: États confédérés du Rhin, officially "Confederated States of the Rhine", but in practice Confédération du Rhin) was a confederation of client states of the First French Empire. It was formed initially from 16 German states by Napoleon after he defeated Austria and Russia in the Battle of Austerlitz. The Treaty of Pressburg, in effect, led to the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine. It lasted from 1806 to 1813. The members of the confederation were German princes (Fürsten) from the Holy Roman Empire. They were later joined by 19 others, all together ruling a total of over 15 million subjects providing a significant strategic advantage to the French Empire on its eastern front. Prussia and Austria were not members. Napoleon sought to consolidate the modernizing achievements of the revolution, but he wanted the soldiers and supplies these subject states could provide for his wars. The most important accomplishments include the introduction of the Napoleon code, the establishment of religious toleration (especially for Jews), and the abolition of feudal rights. It used a constitution written along French lines. Napoleon required it to supply 63,000 troops to his army. The success of the Confederation depended on Napoleon's success in battle; it collapsed when he lost the battle of Leipzig in 1813. ===Member monarchies=== Grand Duchy of Baden

Bitte gib deine '''WikiTree ID''' im Antrag an, damit wir wissen wer du bist. ==Welches geographische Gebiet umfasst das Deutschland-Projekt?== :Das Deutschland-Projekt umfasst Profile vieler deutschsprachiger Menschen. Das heutige Deutschland ist als Bundesrepublik Deutschland bekannt, aber diese Staatsstruktur besteht erst seit Mitte der 1940er Jahre. Davor war es eine Ansammlung von Königreichen, Herzogtümern und Provinzen, deren Grenzen sich über 150 Jahre lang immer wieder veränderten. Das heutige Deutschland war ein großer Teil des Heiligen Römischen Reiches (HRR), das fast 1000 Jahre lang bestand (962-1806). Das HRR umfasste drei Königreiche: Deutschland, Italien und Burgund. Vor dem Heiligen Römischen Reich war "Deutschland" Teil des Königreichs der Ostfranken, des Fränkischen Reichs und Germaniens. :Der Schwerpunkt des Deutschland-Projekts liegt auf den 16 modernen Bundesländern und ihren Vorgängern. Es umfasst auch die historischen Regionen Elsass-Lothringen und die ehemaligen östlichen Teile einschließlich Pommern, Schlesien usw. (siehe unser Preußen-Team), sowie das Königreich der Deutschen im Heiligen Römischen Reich. Eine strikte Trennung dieser Regionen wird es nie geben: Die Grenze, was zu "Deutschland" gehört und was nicht, wird immer fließend sein. :Das Projekt deckt auch Migrations- und Sonderinteressengebiete ab (siehe unsere Teams-Seite für weitere Informationen zu den Deutschen in Russland usw.). ==Mission und Ziele== :Die Aufgabe des Deutschland-Projekts ist es, eine Wissensbasis für die deutsche Ahnenforschung zu werden. Wir können dies erreichen, indem wir an den Profilen all derer arbeiten, die im heutigen Deutschland (und seinen Vorgängern) geboren wurden, um die Anzahl der deutschen Profile auf WikiTree zu erhöhen und sicherzustellen, dass sie den höchstmöglichen Standards entsprechen. :Es ist unser Ziel, Folgendes zu tun: * Bereitstellung eines Forums, das die freundschaftliche Zusammenarbeit der Mitglieder im Bereich der Genealogie und der deutschen Geschichte erleichtert, wobei G2G, Google Groups und Discord für verschiedene Arten der Kommunikation genutzt werden. * Die deutsche Mitgliedschaft auf WikiTree zu erhöhen und effektiv und mehrsprachig zusammenzuarbeiten. Wir wollen sicherstellen, dass alle Projektinhalte sowohl in deutscher als auch in englischer Übersetzung angeboten werden. Wir haben bereits jede WikiTree-Hilfeseite ins Deutsche übersetzt. Sieh dir [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:WikiTree-Hilfe HIER] den Fortschritt an, den wir bisher gemacht haben. * Gemeinsam ALLE deutschen Profile auf WikiTree verbessern, um sie so gut wie möglich zu machen. Unser Ziel ist es, dass jedes deutsche Profil mit Quellen belegt, frei von Datenbankfehlern und mit unserem Hauptbaum verbunden ist. Dafür brauchen wir eine Menge Hilfe! * Wir sorgen dafür, dass deutsche Profile auf WikiTree folgendes beinhalten: ::1. präzise genealogische Informationen;
::2. Primärquellen oder vom Deutschland-Projekt als verlässlich angesehene Quellen (keine Verweise auf Online-Stammbäume);
::3. präzise Ortsangaben, die zu den Zeitangaben des Profiles passen;
::4. passende deutsche Namenskonventionen; und
::5. verständliche Biographien, die alle genealogischen Fakten des Profilinhaltes wiedergeben.
* Bereitstellung von Ressourcen, die WikiTree-Mitgliedern bei der Erforschung ihrer deutschen Genealogie helfen. Wir aktualisieren diese ständig und fügen Ressourcen hinzu, sobald wir sie finden. Wir ermutigen unsere Mitglieder, ihre Entdeckungen mitzuteilen, und im Gegenzug werden wir Links zu diesen Ressourcen auf unseren Projektseiten veröffentlichen. Wir haben eine umfangreiche Liste von Online-Ressourcen und Forschungswerkzeugen zusammengestellt, die Menschen nutzen können, um Informationen über ihre deutschen Familien zu finden.

'''[[Project:Germany|English version]]''' '''Deutsche Version''' Willkommen beim Deutschland-Projekt! Dieses Projekt richtet sich an diejenigen, die deutsche Wurzeln haben, in Deutschland leben oder ein besonderes Interesse an der deutschen Geschichte haben. Zusätzliche Informationen: * Füge deinen Namen und deine Forschungsinteressen in die [[Project:German_Roots/Members|Mitgliederliste hier]] ein. * Bitte '''beantrage unserer Google-Gruppe beizutreten''', dem Ort an dem die Mitglieder kommunizieren und Updates veröffentlicht werden. Folge diesem Link um den Beitritt zu beantragen: [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wikitreegermanroots Deutschland Google-Gruppe]. Bitte gib deine '''WikiTree ID''' im Antrag an, damit wir wissen wer du bist. ==Welches geographische Gebiet umfasst das Deutschland-Projekt?== :Das Deutschland-Projekt umfasst Profile vieler deutschsprachiger Menschen. Das heutige Deutschland ist als Bundesrepublik Deutschland bekannt, aber diese Staatsstruktur besteht erst seit Mitte der 1940er Jahre. Davor war es eine Ansammlung von Königreichen, Herzogtümern und Provinzen, deren Grenzen sich über 150 Jahre lang immer wieder veränderten. Das heutige Deutschland war ein großer Teil des Heiligen Römischen Reiches (HRR), das fast 1000 Jahre lang bestand (962-1806). Das HRR umfasste drei Königreiche: Deutschland, Italien und Burgund. Vor dem Heiligen Römischen Reich war "Deutschland" Teil des Königreichs der Ostfranken, des Fränkischen Reichs und Germaniens. :Der Schwerpunkt des Deutschland-Projekts liegt auf den 16 modernen Bundesländern und ihren Vorgängern. Es umfasst auch die historischen Regionen Elsass-Lothringen und die ehemaligen östlichen Teile einschließlich Pommern, Schlesien usw. (siehe unser Preußen-Team), sowie das Königreich der Deutschen im Heiligen Römischen Reich. Eine strikte Trennung dieser Regionen wird es nie geben: Die Grenze, was zu "Deutschland" gehört und was nicht, wird immer fließend sein. :Das Projekt deckt auch Migrations- und Sonderinteressengebiete ab (siehe unsere Teams-Seite für weitere Informationen zu den Deutschen in Russland usw.). ==Mission und Ziele== :Die Aufgabe des Deutschland-Projekts ist es, eine Wissensbasis für die deutsche Ahnenforschung zu werden. Wir können dies erreichen, indem wir an den Profilen all derer arbeiten, die im heutigen Deutschland (und seinen Vorgängern) geboren wurden, um die Anzahl der deutschen Profile auf WikiTree zu erhöhen und sicherzustellen, dass sie den höchstmöglichen Standards entsprechen. :Es ist unser Ziel, Folgendes zu tun: * Bereitstellung eines Forums, das die freundschaftliche Zusammenarbeit der Mitglieder im Bereich der Genealogie und der deutschen Geschichte erleichtert, wobei G2G, Google Groups und Discord für verschiedene Arten der Kommunikation genutzt werden. * Die deutsche Mitgliedschaft auf WikiTree zu erhöhen und effektiv und mehrsprachig zusammenzuarbeiten. Wir wollen sicherstellen, dass alle Projektinhalte sowohl in deutscher als auch in englischer Übersetzung angeboten werden. Wir haben bereits jede WikiTree-Hilfeseite ins Deutsche übersetzt. Sieh dir [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:WikiTree-Hilfe HIER] den Fortschritt an, den wir bisher gemacht haben. * Gemeinsam ALLE deutschen Profile auf WikiTree verbessern, um sie so gut wie möglich zu machen. Unser Ziel ist es, dass jedes deutsche Profil mit Quellen belegt, frei von Datenbankfehlern und mit unserem Hauptbaum verbunden ist. Dafür brauchen wir eine Menge Hilfe! * Wir sorgen dafür, dass deutsche Profile auf WikiTree folgendes beinhalten: ::1. präzise genealogische Informationen;
::2. Primärquellen oder vom Deutschland-Projekt als verlässlich angesehene Quellen (keine Verweise auf Online-Stammbäume);
::3. präzise Ortsangaben, die zu den Zeitangaben des Profiles passen;
::4. passende deutsche Namenskonventionen; und
::5. verständliche Biographien, die alle genealogischen Fakten des Profilinhaltes wiedergeben.
* Bereitstellung von Ressourcen, die WikiTree-Mitgliedern bei der Erforschung ihrer deutschen Genealogie helfen. Wir aktualisieren diese ständig und fügen Ressourcen hinzu, sobald wir sie finden. Wir ermutigen unsere Mitglieder, ihre Entdeckungen mitzuteilen, und im Gegenzug werden wir Links zu diesen Ressourcen auf unseren Projektseiten veröffentlichen. Wir haben eine umfangreiche Liste von Online-Ressourcen und Forschungswerkzeugen zusammengestellt, die Menschen nutzen können, um Informationen über ihre deutschen Familien zu finden.

----- ==German Familienbücher Not Available Online== This is a listing of members possessing German Familienbücher (Family Books) in select towns/regions in Germany. These members are willing to help other members by looking up information about ancestors. The books listed below are NOT available online. Online Ortsfamilienbücher can be found on Genealogy.net (genealogienetz.de): '''[https://www.online-ofb.de/ HERE]''' (there are also links to the same website attached to each of the 16 Regions Team pages).

It is part of the Nordfriesland district in the federal state of Schleswig-Holstein. Föhr is the second-largest North Sea island in Germany and a popular destination for tourists. A town and eleven distinct municipalities are located on the island. The climate is oceanic with moderate winters and relatively cool summers. Human settlement dates from neolithic times, Föhr was part of mainland North Frisia until 1362. Then the coastline was destroyed by a heavy storm flood and several islands were formed, Föhr among them. The northern parts of Föhr consist of marshes while the southern parts consist of sandy geest. From the middle-ages until 1864, Föhr belonged to the Danish realm and to the Duchy of Schleswig, but was then transferred to Prussia as a result of the Second Schleswig War. Seafaring has long been the most popular trade, but farming and eventually tourism became the most important economic factors after the end of the Age of Sail. The island can be reached by a car and passenger ferry service or via an airstrip. Apart from German, a dialect of the North Frisian language, Fering, is frequently spoken on Föhr. Several authors and poets have also written in Fering. ==Geography== Föhr is situated southeast of Sylt; it is the second-largest German North Sea island. Among those German islands which are accessible only by ship or airplane (i.e., no bridge, tunnel or causeway connects them to the mainland), Föhr is the most populous one and has the largest surface. Föhr is called "The Green Island" due to being sheltered from the storms of the North Sea by its neighboring islands Sylt and Amrum, so that Föhr's vegetation is thriving compared to other islands. It is 6.8 kilometres wide and 12 km long; the surface measures 82.82 km². While the northern parts are marshland, the south consists of higher geestland. The highest elevation measures 13 m above mean sea level and is located on the geestland ridge between the villages of Nieblum and Midlum. The geest makes up about two fifths of Föhr's total area and most villages are located there. In the marshlands, a number of solitary farmsteads can be found, which were moved out of the villages during the 1960s. Until the Grote Mandrenke flooding, Föhr had not been an island but was part of the mainland, being connected to the sea by deep tidal creeks. Föhr, like its neighbour islands, is a popular tourist resort. From the ferry terminal a sandy beach of about 15 km length extends all along Föhr's southern shore and halfway up the western coast. North and northwest of Föhr the Reserved Area I of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park is located. Föhr's population counts 8,592 (as of 1 December 2010).Zahlen, Daten, Fakten" (in German). Amt Föhr-Amrum. 2010-12-07. The only town on the island is Wyk on its south-eastern coast which is a popular seaside resort. In addition there are sixteen small villages on Föhr which are distributed among eleven municipalities. They adhere to the Amt Föhr-Amrum: Alkersum (Fering: Aalkersem) Borgsum (Borigsem) Dunsum (Dunsem), comprising Lesser and Greater Dunsum Midlum (Madlem) Nordseebad Nieblum (Njiblem) with its neighbourhood Goting (Guating) Oevenum (Ööwnem) Oldsum (Olersem) with the districts of Toftum (Taftem) and Klintum (Klantem) Süderende (Söleraanj) Nordseebad Utersum (Ödersem) with the hamlet of Hedehusum (Hedehüsem) Witsum (Wiisem) Wrixum (Wraksem) A local peculiarity is that almost all place names end with the suffix -um, which means "home".Timmermann, Ulf, "Nordfriesische Ortsnamen". In: Munske 2001, p. 373. ==Climate== Föhr features a moderate oceanic climate. The beneficial effects of the local climate and seawater on certain medical conditions inspired the physician Carl Haeberlin (1870–1954) from Wyk to develop treatments for climatotherapy and thalassotherapy at the beginning of the 20th century. He became the pioneer of these disciplines in Germany.Zacchi, "Dr. Carl Häberlin". Menschen von Föhr. pp. 44–49."Frei zugängliche Klimadaten" (in German). German Meteorological Service. ==History== The higher geestland cores of the North Frisian islands, scattered between ample marshlands, attracted settlers when the sea level rose at the end of the Neolithic period. Gravesites and several minor artifacts found on Föhr bear witness to this. ''The Lembecksburg, a 9th-century ringwall'' When the Frisians colonised the area of modern Nordfriesland during the 7th century, their first settlements were erected on Föhr, according to archaeological findings. The formerly sparsely inhabited island witnessed a steep rise of population. A rather large amount of jewellery originating from Scandinavia that was found in graves of the time points out a vivid connection to northern Europe.Bantelmann, Albert. Landschaft und Besiedlung Nordfrieslands in vorgeschichtlicher Zeit (Landscape and Colonisation of Nordfriesland in prehistoric Times). Geschichte Nordfrieslands (History of North Frisia) (in German). pp. 15–56, 46. ISBN 3-8042-0759-6 From the age of the Vikings, several ring walls, the Lembecksburg among them, are preserved.Lembecksburg (in German). ''Harden'' The Danish Census Book of King Valdemar II of Denmark tells of two Harden on Föhr, territorial subdivisions of the time. The Westerharde Föhr was at times the refuge of a pirate serving the Danish.Panten, Albert. Die Nordfriesen im Mittelalter (The North Frisians in the Middle Ages). Geschichte Nordfrieslands. pp. 57–102, 71. ISBN 3-8042-0759-6.In 1368 the Westerharde, which also included Amrum, was transferred to the Counts of Holstein under the supervision of the knight Klaus Lembeck, bailiff of Ribe. In 1400 the Harde surrendered to Queen Margaret I of Denmark and remained within Ribe County. Until 1864 the western part of Föhr, together with Amrum, belonged to the Danish Enclaves in North Frisia while Osterland and Wyk belonged to the Duchy of Schleswig since it had seceded from the Danish Kingdom in the 1420s. Together with the Wiedingharde, the Bökingharde, the isle of Strand and Sylt, Osterland in 1426 signed the "Compact of the Seven Hundreds" (German: Siebenhardenbeliebung) with Duke Henry IV of Schleswig, which stated that the Hundreds intended to keep their judicial autonomy. In 1523 the northern marshlands of Föhr were shut off against the sea by dikes and 22 hectacres of new farming land were won.Kunz, Harry; Albert Panten. Die Köge Nordfrieslands (The North Frisian Polders). ISBN 3-88007-251-5.Beginning in 1526, the Protestant Reformation began to introduce the Lutheran confession on Föhr, which was completed in 1530. ''Seafaring'' In the 17th century a private navigation school was established in Süderende by pastor Richardus Petri which was the first of its kind on the island. It improved the situation of the seafaring population considerably and soon other navigators opened their own schools across Föhr. Although Petri led the Süderende school successfully for many years he never went to sea himself. Eschels (1757–1842) writes, however, that in his youth, learning to navigate was still unpopular among many young sailors from Föhr because it smacked of elitism.Eschels, Jens Jacob (1983). Lebensbeschreibung eines alten Seemannes (in German). Husum: Husum Druck- und Verlagsgesellschaft. pp. 173–4. ISBN 3-88042-201-X. Eventually though, these navigation schools enjoyed a high reputation far beyond the island.Faltings, Volkert F., ed. (1985). Kleine Namenkunde für Föhr und Amrum (in German). Hamburg: Helmut Buske. p. 31. ISBN 3-87118-680-5. Subsequently whaling brought about a Golden Age for Föhr. During the 17th and 18th century most Dutch and English whaling ships would have a crew of Frisians from the islands. Around the year 1700 Föhr had a total population of roughly 6,000 people, 1,600 of whom were whalers.Zacchi, Menschen von Föhr. p. 13. At the height of Dutch whaling in the year 1762, 1,186 mariners from Föhr were serving on Dutch vessels at Greenland and Svalbard and 25% of all shipmasters on Dutch whaling vessels were people from Föhr.Faltings, Jan I., Föhrer Grönlandfahrt .... p. 17. In the late 18th century a thousand sailors, 150 Commanders among them, were living on Föhr. Still today the exquisitely decorated houses of the Commanders can be seen in Nieblum and Süderende. The so-called "talking tombstones" in the cemeteries of the three churches on Föhr account for their vitae. Yet with the decline of the whale populations ever fewer men would go sailing and the people of Föhr focused on agriculture again. Notable seafarers from Föhr include Matthias Petersen (1632–1706) and Jens Jacob Eschels. ''Emigration'' However, when their farmsteads turned out to provide an insufficient income for a family in the mid-19th century, many people from Föhr chose to emigrate to North America. There they settled mainly in California becoming chicken farmers, and in New York City where they established themselves in the delicatessen business. Other factors for leaving the island were unemployment, and the mandatory Prussian military service that was introduced after the Second Schleswig War.Walker, Alaister G. H. "Extent and Position of North Frisian". In: Munske 2001, pp. 264–265 ''Tourism'' After 1842, when King Christian VIII of Denmark chose Föhr as his summer residence, the island became popular as a tourist resort. ''Geopolitics'' During the Second Schleswig War, Danish Lieutenant Commander Otto Christian Hammer, commanding a flotilla in the North Frisian Isles, resided in Wyk auf Föhr and was able to defend the islands against superior Austrian and Prussian naval forces.Hansen, Christian P.; Reinhold Janus (1998). Sieben Jahre auf Sylt: Tagebücher des Inselfriesen Christian Peter Hansen (Seven Years on Sylt: Diaries of the Frisian Christian Peter Hansen) (in German). Wachholtz. ISBN 978-3-529-02209-8. He was eventually captured by Prussian Lieutenant Ernst von Prittwitz und Gaffron. On 17 July 1864, while Hammer was at sea, 250 Austrian troops landed on Föhr and occupied the island until November 1864.Roeloffs, Brar C. (1984). Von der Seefahrt zur Landwirtschaft. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der Insel Föhr (in German). Neumünster: Karl Wachholtz Verlag. pp. 333–339. ISBN 3-529-06184-0. In the aftermath of that war and the subsequent Austro-Prussian War, Prussia annexed Schleswig-Holstein in 1867 and Föhr became part of the Prussian Schleswig-Holstein Province.Faltings, Jan I., Föhrer Grönlandfahrt .... p. 30. The three hamlets of Utersum, Witsum and Hedehusum were the only ones to vote for Denmark in Zone II of the Schleswig Plebiscites in 1920; yet as they were not located directly at the border they remained within Germany. On 1 January 2007 the formerly independent municipal entities of Amt Föhr-Land, Amt Amrum and Wyk auf Föhr were merged into one municipality (Amt) Föhr-Amrum. ==Language and culture== ''Language'' A major part of the population in the west of the island speaks, besides German, a local idiom of the North Frisian language known as Fering or Föhring. Fering is again divided into the two dialects of Westerland Föhr and Osterland Föhr, being the western and eastern halves of the island respectively. In Osterland Low German is more popular than Fering and especially in Wyk the traditional language is Standard German. During the whaling campaigns from the 17th to the early 19th centuries, many seafarers from Föhr changed their Fering birth names to Dutch names because they were regarded being more practical for their work abroad and more fashionable at home. Also many Dutch loanwords were introduced to Fering at that time and are still in use today.Faltings, Jan I., Föhrer Grönlandfahrt .... pp. 37–40. There are various interpretations concerning the origin of the name Föhr and its original Frisian name Feer. Current etymological studies suggest that Föhr and also Amrum have names rooted in maritime tradition.Timmermann, Ulf, "Nordfriesische Ortsnamen". In: Munske 2001, p. 370 Another likely root is the Frisian feer which means "barren" and has been attributed to the island's geest core. Until the 19th century, these parts had been heavily podsolised.Bonsen, Uwe (1971). "Geographie von Föhr". In Hansen, Margot and Nico. Föhr – Geschichte und Gestalt einer Insel (in German). Münsterdorf: Hansen & Hansen. p. 25. ''Tradition'' ''Traditional livery for women'' On special occasions, mainly in the western parts of the island, women may wear their traditional costumes (Trachten). ''Seasonal customs'' Several popular customs are kept on Föhr, such as Biikebrennen on 21 February with a great bonfire and the Tamsen (or Thamsen, named after Thomas the Apostle) on 21 December where young people play pranks on others by hiding things that can spin and turn around. During the Christmas season a special kind of Christmas tree exists on Föhr and other North Frisian islands, the so-called kenkenbuum. It consists of a wooden frame which is decorated with a wreath of green leaves. The inner parts carry figures made of dough, including animals and Adam and Eve."Der "Jöölboom"" (in German). Söl'ring Foriining. Image and description of a Jöölboom used on Sylt. On New Year's Eve, groups of people dress up in costumes and walk from house to house to let others guess their true identity (similar to Halloween). According to their age, they are treated with either sweets or alcoholic drinks. In Fering, this tradition is called ütj tu kenknin; the people of Wyk call it Rummelrotje. It corresponds to the Hulken on Amrum. In the times when great parts of the male population on Föhr were seafarers they would spend the winter at home on the island. In the afternoon the bachelors would meet at twilight (Fering: hualewjonken) for social gatherings. Today Hualewjonken is a get-together of confirmed bachelors below the age of 30."Föhrer Bräuche" (in German). Seniorenakademie Heidenheim. ==Arts, literature and music== Oluf Braren (1787–1839), a naïve art painter, was born in Oldsum. Although largely ignored during his lifetime his art became eventually popular in the 20th century. Today there are several professional artists working on Föhr and in Alkersum there is a museum that exhibits notable international artists such as Emil Nolde, Edvard Munch or Max Liebermann.Nagar, Mira (31 August 2008). "Eine Kunstsammlung für die Insel" (in German). Schleswig-Holsteinischer Zeitungsverlag. There are also various Fering authors, among them Stine Andresen (1849–1927) who was a poet and writer from Wyk whose literature often refers to her native island. She published her poetry in German but also in Fering. In 1991, Ellin Nickelsen's novelette Jonk Bradlep (Dark Wedding) was published. With it, she won the first ever held North Frisian literature competition.Nickelsen, Ellin (1991). Jonk Bradlep (in Fering). Bredstedt: Nordfriisk Instituut. ISBN 978-3-88007-175-9. Weblink in German and Fering.The internationally successful Rock band Stanfour is based on Föhr. The island has its own anthem, Leew Eilun Feer (Beloved Isle of Föhr). ==Economy== Föhr's economy is mainly dependent on tourism. Moreover, agriculture, mainly pasture farming, plays an important role. The harbour of Wyk hosts several mussel fishing boats. ==Attractions== ''Wyk'' Sights include a bell tower (raised in 1886) as well as the Sandwall esplanade. Frisian customs and the history of Föhr are displayed at the Dr Carl Haeberlin Frisian Museum, whose entrance is made up of two whale jaw bones. ''Church buildings'' St. John's church in Nieblum The island features three medieval churches from the 12th and 13th century. These are St. Nicolas' church in Wyk-Boldixum (also referred to as St. Nicolai), St. John's (St. Johannis) in Nieblum and St. Lawrence's (St. Laurentii) church in Süderende. The adjacent graveyards contain unusual tombstones which display entire vitae and may show pictures. ''Windmills'' On Föhr five windmills can be found, two of them in Wyk (a Dutch mill called Venti Amica from 1879 in the old town and a buck mill from Hallig Langeneß at the museum), as well as one in Wrixum (an octagonal Dutch mill), one in Borgsum (Octagonal Dutch mill, rebuilt in 1992 after the previous building was ruined by fire) and one in Oldsum (octagonal Dutch mill from 1901). All of them are privately owned except for the buck mill and the mill at Wrixum. ''Duck decoys'' In the marshlands six duck decoys can be visited. First established in the 18th century, these artificial ponds provided a pastime for sea captains and ships' officers during wintertime. Later the ponds were used to trap great numbers of wild ducks. In the pond at Oevenum, more than 3,000,000 ducks have been caught since its installation in 1735, and from 1885 to 1931 a factory in Wyk produced canned duck meat. The preserved meat was exported worldwide.Faltings, Jan I., Föhrer Grönlandfahrt .... pp. 36–37. Works cited: Faltings, Jan I. (2011). Föhrer Grönlandfahrt im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert (in German).

ISBN 3-484-73048-X. Zacchi, Uwe (1986). Menschen von Föhr – Lebenswege aus drei Jahrhunderten (in German). Heide: Boyens & Co. ISBN 3-8042-0359-0. ''Wadden Sea'' The entire sea surrounding Föhr may also be designated an attraction. Mainly the foreland north of the sea dike, but also the mud flats provide ample space for all kinds of seabirds. Oystercatchers, common eiders, shelducks, snipes and peewits are only a few of them. Moreover, during the season vast swarms of migratory birds will rest at Föhr and the neighbouring islands. Occasionally, especially after severe winter storms, harbour seals may be encountered on the beaches. The beach along the southern shore is popular for swimming. Also, during low tide it is possible to hike from Amrum to Föhr. == Sources == German Brazilians

[[Category:Brasil]] ==Bem-vindo à página da Seleção Brasileiros Alemães== Esta página foi criada como um auxílio de pesquisa para encontrar informações sobre os alemães que emigraram para o Brasil a partir do início da década de 1820. ===História=== :O seguinte foi copiado da [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Brazilians Wikipedia: German Brazilians] e deve ser reescrito eventualmente: -------------------------------------------------- ==Welcome to the German Brazilians Team Page== This page was created as a research aid to find information on those Germans who emigrated to Brazil from the early 1820s. ===History=== :The following was copied from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Brazilians Wikipedia: German Brazilians] and should be re-written eventually: ::When German-speaking immigrants first arrived in Brazil starting at the beginning of the 19th century, they did not identify themselves so much as a unified German-Brazilian group. However, as time went on this common regional identity did emerge for many different geo-socio-political reasons. Germans immigrated mainly from what is now Germany, but also from other countries where German communities were established. From 1824 to 1969, around 250,000 Germans emigrated to Brazil, being the fourth largest immigrant community to settle in the country, after the Portuguese, Italians and Spaniards. About 30% of them arrived between World War I and World War II. ::The first German immigrants to settle in Brazil were 165 families who settled in '''Ilhéus, Bahia''', in 1818. One year later, 200 families settled '''São Jorge''', in the same state. Some Germans were brought to work in the Brazilian army after Independence from Portugal in 1822. ::However, the cradle of the German settlement in Brazil was '''São Leopoldo''', in '''1824'''. At that time Southern Brazil had a very low population density. Most of its inhabitants were concentrated on the coast and a few in the Pampas. The interior was covered by forests and sparsely populated by different groups of native Amerindians. The absence of a unified population in the interior was regarded as a problem by the Brazilian government because Southern Brazil could easily be invaded by neighboring countries. ::Since Brazil was recently independent from Portugal, it was not possible to bring Portuguese immigrants. Germany was suffering the effects of the wars against Napoleon, overpopulation and poverty in the countryside. Many Germans were willing to immigrate to Brazil. Furthermore, Brazil's Empress, Maria Leopoldina, was Austrian and encouraged the arrival of German immigrants. ::The first years were not easy. Many Germans died of tropical disease, while others left the colonies to find better living conditions. The German colony of São Leopoldo was in the early years a disaster. Nevertheless, in the following years, a further 4,830 Germans arrived at São Leopoldo, and then the colony started to develop, with the immigrants establishing the town of '''Novo Hamburgo''' (New Hamburg). From São Leopoldo and Novo Hamburgo, the German immigrants spread into other areas of Rio Grande do Sul, mainly close to sources of rivers. The whole region of '''Vale dos Sinos''' was populated by Germans. During the 1830s and part of the 1840s German immigration to Brazil was interrupted due to conflicts in the country (Ragamuffin War). ::Immigration restarted after 1845 with the creation of new colonies. The most important ones were '''Blumenau''' in 1850 and '''Joinville in 1851''', both in Santa Catarina state; these attracted thousands of German immigrants to the region. Some of the mass influx was due to the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states. Nowadays these areas of German colonization are among the wealthiest parts of Brazil, with the lowest levels of unemployment and illiteracy found in the country, and still retain a strong influence from German culture. ::By the end of the 19th century, 122 German communities had been created in Rio Grande do Sul, and many others in Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. Germans helped to establish a middle-class population in Brazil, a country that was formerly divided between slaves and their masters. :More information can be found below: *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Brazilians#The_first_German_communities The first German communities] *[https://www.dvhh.org/dta/brazil/1824-1969.htm DVHH] *Seyferth, Giralda.

'''The German diaspora''' describes German speakers who emigrated from central Europe. This [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_diaspora Wikipedia article] describes the "German" term as a sociolinguistic group as opposed to the national one.

[[Category:Germany Project]] '''{{red|THIS PAGE IS NOT ACTIVE YET... BUT STAY TUNED! WE HOPE WE CAN OFFER A TRAIL SIMILAR TO ENGLAND'S ORPHAN TRAIL IN 2022 or 2023!}}''' ==German Genealogy Research Trail== This is the place for you to learn and help you be successful in finding your German Roots. This trail is for anyone new or struggling with researching their German heritage, and ancestors. There are steps that you will progress through before graduating. German Genealogy Research is really difficult and this team was designed to help you get started. This is a crash course in finding the basics needed to find your ancestors once and for all! The goal is to teach you all you need to know to get started, where to look, how to overcome brick walls and basically how to look for and find your German ancestors. == What you will learn== *A very brief but essential history of Germany *Specific region and time period for your ancestor *Migration information: reasons Germans migrated, patterns, ports of departure, naturalization and immigration records *English and German name spelling variations *Surnames: distribution, meaning and origin, spelling variations and how to add those to WikiTree *Religion and its importance for German genealogy research *Possible reasons for migration *Different research techniques *The online resources that are currently available *What to do when you get stuck With this knowledge and information you can begin to know what direction your research is going and can now be directed to the right sub-projects and teams for you to join to help you along the way. ==Requirement to Join== If you would like to join this trail there are a number of simple requirements: #Be a full member of WikiTree for at least 90 days and have made 100+ contributions #Be willing to collaborate with others #Join the Google group, and participate in discussions there, sharing you experiences, triumphs and pitfalls #Always cite sources when adding information, especially for ancestors born before 1900 == More Notes == Why is German genealogy so hard? *Germany as we know it today is new, it has only existed since 1871. Throughout history areas that were considered "German" changed many times. Therefore many German speaking and German occupied regions and towns are no longer considered within Germany, and are now within different country borders. Town names probably changed multiple times over the last few centuries. Old location names no longer exist. Consequently a crash course in history is essential. Key resources need to be consulted. Once locations have been figured out, it is then time to consider religion. *Determining the religion of your ancestor. Three predominant religious groups in Germany: Lutheranism, Catholicism and Reformation. * Names: spelling, changes, origins, distribution, societal differences, naming pattens in families, which first name is correct (spoiler: usually the last given name is the one they are known by, eg Carl Ferdinand Friedrich Haese would have been known as Friedrich). *Migration - when where why what how - paths reasons times and major areas of settlement *Crash course in language, handwriting, thank a translator. *Breaking down brick walls with research techniques. Just the absolute essentials. Using project collaboration to break down brick walls. * Sources - where to look, what are primary and secondary, where to start and where to next. AND how to cite them! **Naturalization **Shipping lists **Church records in settlement areas **Family bibles **Relatives

In this latter work Hahn proposed the theory that the chondrites consist entirely of fossilized organic remains of life-forms, namely, fossilized sponges, corals, and crinoids. In addition, he claimed that the iron meteorites have an organic origin and that they are the petrified remains of a fungus or plant that was permeated with iron-nickel alloys, e.g. similar to ichnotaxa like the Chondrites. |style="color: green" | [[Hahn-3822|Yes]] |style="color: red" | No |- |[https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Hochstetter Hochstetter] |[[Wikipedia:Ferdinand von Hochstetter|Christian Gottlieb Ferdinand Hochstetter]] |30 Apr 1829 |18 Jul 1884 |Christian Gottlieb (Ferdinand) ''Ritter'' von Hochstetter, a German-Austrian geologist.

''Welcome to the Germany Project Portal''
''Willkommen auf dem Deutschland Portal''
The German Roots/Deutschland Portal is a part of the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] and our mission is to make all things Germany and German Roots related more accessable for all. We hope that this will help facilitate collaboration among members, particularly between people living in Germany and researchers with German Roots from around the entire world. Similarly, the Germany Project is focused on improving and adding profiles for people who considered themselves German and the ancestors of those people. [[Image:German_Roots_Images-2.png|400px|German Roots]]
== Germany Project == The Germany project aims to: *Link together existing Germany projects *Encourage new projects to be created *Encourage collaboration between Germany based users and people from around the world with German roots *Promote and facilitate German genealogical research Please join us! Germany Project is a project focused on profiles with a German connection and also making WikiTree more user friendly through the Germany Portal ==Requirements to Join== Anyone who has signed the honor code can join this project. There is no obligation on how much time to spend working on this project. All and any contributions are appreciated. Joining at least one team is expected. == Project Goals == #Add related profiles, checking for existing profiles to avoid duplication. If any duplicate profiles exist, request merges, starting with the oldest generation. #If profiles were loaded by GEDCOM, use WikiTree Styles and Standards to clean up residue and broken links. #Search out original rather than derivative documentation and add sources. #Add sticker to the profiles along with any relevant categories. #Contact one of the project Leaders to request PPP status for those profiles that meet the criteria for project protection. This will protect them from an incorrect merge. #Profiles of family members are correct and documented. #Profiles are linked to the greater WikiTree. Try to find the connection. #Work on sources for unsourced profiles #Work with the Global Cemeteries Project to ensure cemeteries in Germany are photographed and records added to WikiTree. #Collaborate and work together to make German genealogy research easier for all. #Create a supportive, active and encouraging place for each other to navigate our German Roots together! ==Stickers Templates == :https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Prussia_Sticker {{Member|German Roots}} {{Member|German Roots|lang=de}} :Do we need to change the German Roots members stickers??? :https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Migrating_Ancestor :https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:German_Roots_Sticker :https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Template:Volga_German ---- == Deutschsprachiges Projekt == Das deutschsprachige Projekt auf WikiTree beabsichtigt * bestehende Projekte miteinander zu verbinden * die Entstehung neuer Projekte zu fördern * Zusammenarbeit zwischen Nutzern in Deutschland und Nutzern aus aller Welt mit deutschen Wurzeln zu stärken * Ahnenforschung in Deutschland voranzubringen und zu erleichtern Macht mit! Das deutschsprachige Projekt konzentriert sich auf Profile mit einer Verbindung nach Deutschland und möchte WikiTree durch das deutschsprachige Portal benutzerfreundlicher für deutschsprachige Nutzer machen. == Ziele des Projekts == 1. Hinzufügen von dazugehörigen Profilen, Prüfung, ob Profile schon auf WikiTree bestehen, damit keine doppelten Profile gemacht werden 2. Nutzen von WikiTree Styles and Standards, um nach dem Hochladen von GEDCOMs Profile von unlesbaren Daten zu reinigen 3. Finden von Originaldokumenten anstatt von abgeleiteten Dokumenten 4. Hinzufügen von Stickern und relevanten Kategorien an die Profile 5. Kontaktieren von den Projektleitern, um Projektschutz für Profile zu erreichen, die die Kriterien für den Projektschutz erfüllen. Dies wird verhindern, dass sie mit einem falschen Profil zusammengelegt werden 6. Profile von Familienmitgliedern sind korrekt und belegt 7. Verbinden von Profilen mit dem großen WikiTree-Stammbaum. Versuchen, die Verbindung zum großen Stammbaum zu finden 8. Finden von Belegen für Profile ohne Quellen 9. Zusammenarbeit mit dem Global Cemeteries Project , um sicherzustellen, dass Friedhöfe fotografiert werden und die Aufzeichnungen zu WikiTree hinzugefügt werden 10. Zusammenarbeit, damit Ahnenforschung in Deutschland für alle leichter wird 11. Schaffung einer unterstützenden, aktiven und ermutigenden Umgebung, damit wir alle unsere deutschen Wurzeln finden können --- Any improvements you can make to the profiles of the Germany Project are welcome, but here are some specific tasks we're working on: * For each person: ** All duplicates merged into the final lowest profile ID number. **All relevant categories are added. ** Parents are correct and documented ** Biography is cleaned up, free of any GEDCOM junk, Ancestry trees, etc., and ideally has an actual written biography. **Children are linked if able **Connected to Global Family Tree **Create Cemetery Category if known **Create City freepages and link profiles to city and region categories **provide gravestone picture if possible * Monitor G2G for posts using the {{Tag Link|Germany}} tag ** Answer questions ** Encourage members to become involved in the project * For historically significant German ancestors: ** Final ID locked, marking the profile as [[Project protection|project protected]] (must be done by one of the [[Project Leaders]]), if the profile meets those requirements ** German Roots Images

[[Category:German_Projects]] [[Category:Germanna_Colonies_Project]] This page is part of the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] == Willkommen beim Germana Kolonien Projekt! == ===History of Germanna, Colony of Virginia=== Germanna was a German settlement in the Colony of Virginia, North America that was populated by multiple waves of immigrants starting in 1714. The first two waves of immigrants are known as the [[Space:Germanna_First_Colony|First Colony]] and the [[Space:Germanna_Second_Colony|Second Colony]]. The name of the settlement was chosen by Alexander Spotswood, who had been given a series of land grants. In 1720, Germanna became part of Spotsylvania County.Wikipedia contributors, ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanna Germanna]'', Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, Revision 17 September 2018, 15:01 UTC (https://en.wikipedia.org : accessed 17 September 2018).''[https://germanna.org/things-to-do/research-your-germanna-roots Research Your Germanna Roots]'', Germanna Foundation (https://germanna.org : accessed 18 September 2018). Virginia Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood encouraged the immigration by advertising in Germany for miners to move to Virginia and establish a mining industry in the colony.Wikipedia: Germanna (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanna The Germanna peninsula, now near the northeastern end of Orange county, Virginia, is formed by a large loop, shaped like a horseshoe bend, of the Rapidan River, 50 to 60 yards wide at this location. The first settlement in 1714 was made on the east side of the river, which is the southern branch of the Rappahannock, nine miles above its confluence with the northern branch and 13 miles above the site of Governor Spotswood's iron furnace. The Germanna peninsula comprises an area of approximately two square miles, about 1200 or 1300 acres. It is still surrounded on the south and west for the most part, by forests, in which the trees are probably of second or third growth. The peninsula was originally all heavily timbered, as much of it still is, with oak, hickory, pine, poplar, and other native trees. Since a clearing had to be made for the original settlement, the trees cut down for the clearing were likely used as logs for building the cabins and the blockhouse, and for erecting the five-sided palisade that enclosed the settlement, called Fort Germanna. When Baron de Graffenreid returned to Europe from America, Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood requested him to recruit some German miners. Graffenreid persuaded 14 individuals with families totaling 42 persons from the town of Siegen and Muesen in the principality of Nassau-Siegen, Germany to come to Virginia. The [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Germanna_First_Colony First Germanna Colony] arrived in Virginia at Tappahannock in the spring of 1714, and then came up the Rappahannock River where they settled 20 miles west of Fredericksburg at a location that would be called Fort Germanna. The [[Space:Germanna_First_Colony|First Colony]] was made up of individuals from Siegerland who traveled to London in 1713. In January 1714, the group left London and arrived in the Colony of Virginia in April. The [[Space:Germanna_Second_Colony|Second Colony]] from the Kraichgau of Baden and Württemberg, as well as some from the Rhineland Pfalz (Palatinate) settled across the Rapidan River from Fort Germanna, then from 1725 to 1727 began to move to the Robinson River Valley in present day Madison County and patent land in their own names."Historic Germanna: The 1717 Colony; (https://germanna.org/things-to-do/research-your-germanna-roots/). "The families of the '[[Space:Germanna_Second_Colony|Second Colony]], mostly Lutherans seeking to escape from the persecutions of the French, traveled up the Rhine River to board ship at Rotterdam.""ALEXANDER SPOTSWOOD, Portrait of a Governor", By Walter Havighurst. "Their ship departed on 12 July 1717, enroute to the Colony of Pennsylvania. The colonists' choice of vessel was, in hindsight, profoundly unfortunate. They made the customary stop in London, but there, they were detained for several weeks, while their captain (Capt. Scott) was imprisoned for debt.""THE GERMANNA RECORD, No. Six", By The Momorial Foundation of The Germanna Colonies in Virginia, Inc., June 1965. "food supplies dwindled while passengers waited for the captain's release. Actual starvation took the lives of many passengers at sea." "The revised list of constituency of the 1717 colony shows that at least 138 persons left Germany at the time, so perhaps as many as fifty people perished, most of them children.""'ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF THE NASSUA-SIEGEN IMMIGRANTS TO VIRGINIA 1714 - 1750", By B.C. Holtzclaw (Germanna Record, No. Five) 1964. "Very little is known about the actual voyage across the ocean, but once arrived, the captain did not land in Pennsylvania, but landed in Virginia." "Their captain's heart had not been soften by his own recent experiences, but sought to replenish himself at the expense of the friendless Germans. Knowing that he would get a good rate for the individuals as indentured servants, Captain Scott took them to the Colony of Virginia instead of Pennsylvania. He then claimed that they had not paid their passage money, which claim may have been true, and refused to allow them to land until Governor Spotswood gave him the amount he demanded." "THE PATERNAL ANCESTRY OF IVAN LEE HOLT, III", By Isabel Stebbins Giulvezan (St. Louis, MO.) 1962."While Spotswood may have recognized the injustice done these immigrants, he obtained agreement in advance to extract eight years of indentured labor from them. He profited from the situation by gaining an additional year of service, as the normal time was only seven years, and they were indentured to Gov. Spotswood, not the British Government.'[3] "The captain released the immigrants to Spotswood but only after he had confiscated all of their belongings. Spotswood, established them at or near Germanna. where the original colony was located." "The customary period of indentured service in Virginia was seven years, but as the 1717 colonists approached the end of their indenture, Governor Spotswood was reluctant to allow them their freedom." In 1724, "he filed a suit against nineteen men."BEFORE GERMANNA', No. 5: By Johni Cerny & Gary J. Zimmerman (Salt Lake City, Utah: Lineages, Inc.) 1990. Spotsylvania County, Virginia Order Book, 1724-30, p.8." :"In 1725 the entire colony, now released, moved to the Robinson River near the foot of the Blue Mountains, in the present Madison County, Virginia. Here in June, 1726, they received large patents of land. They had chosen for their home a place that stood on the very border of civilization. Surrounded thus by the dangers and difficulties of the frontier life they made their homes and reached a certain degree of prosperity." The Second Colony was also made up of other Germans whot also left around 1717 and arrived later than the passengers on Scott's ship. A third group of German emigrants of approximately forty families arrived at Germanna in 1719. Then on February 20, 1719, the 15,000 acre mine tract was patented to Spotswood's friend, Robert Beverly. Soon Spotswood added this land holding to his Germanna tract. On April 22, 1720, a tract of 1,920 acres in the fork of the Rappahannock River across the Rapidan from Germanna was conveyed to Spotswood from Robert Beverly. On November 2, 1719, another tract of 3065 acres adjoining Germanna land was patented by Richard Hickam and was transferred to Spotswood one month later. Additional immigrants arrived in Germanna around 1725 and in the 1730's a small group of individuals arrived and settled the Little Fork area in Culpeper County. A patent for twenty-eight thousand acres was issued on 11 April 1732 to Alexander Spotswood with the head rights listing fourty-eight individuals. Traditions tell of manufacturing and industrial establishments. It is probable that the settlement had small shops of carpenters, blacksmiths, wagon makers, saddler, gunsmiths, and others that were found in those days in every town and village. The site of Fort Germanna is mostly open fields with intervening thickets of second-growth timber. The Fort Germanna site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978."National Register Information System". National Register of Historic Places. National Park Service. July 9, 2010. The Germanna Foundation owns land on the original Germanna peninsula, on both sides of the Germanna Highway, State Route 3, near the site of the original Fort Germanna, once the westernmost outpost of colonial Virginia. The Germanna Foundation operates the Brawdus Martin Fort Germanna Visitor Center on the Siegen Forest side of the Germanna Highway, fifteen miles (24 km) east of Culpeper and twenty miles (32 km) west of Fredericksburg, Virginia. === Emigrant Waves === Information on each wave of emigration can be found on the colony pages: * [[Space:Germanna_First_Colony|First Colony]] * [[Space:Germanna_Second_Colony|Second Colony]] * [[Space:1725_Germanna_Settlers|1725 Settlers]] * [[Space:Germanna_Little_Fork_Colony|Little Fork Settlers]] === Categories === Individual colonists have been categorized as follows: * [[:Category:Germanna_Colonies_Project]] - Top level category, individual profiles should not be added to this category * [[:Category:Germanna_First_Colony]] - All settlers that arrived in Germanna in 1714 * [[:Category:Germanna_Second_Colony]] - All settlers that arrived in Germanna in 1717 * [[:Category:Germanna_1725_Settlers]] - All settlers that arrived in Germanna by 1725 * [[:Category:Germanna_Little_Fork]] - Settlers arriving in the 1730s in Little Fork == How To Join == Add your name to the list below, along with a note about what you're working on in this project right now. == Goals == The primary goal of the Germanna Colonies Project is to have all the colonists linked to the colony lists.

[[Category:Germany Project]] This page is part of the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] ==Welcome to the Germans from Russia Team Page== *'''Chief team leader: [[Neff-1845|Rob Neff]]''' Our focus is on the Germans who lived in Russia, and their descendants, including the many that emigrated to Canada, the United States, and South America (often called “Germans from Russia”). While in Russia they lived largely in all-German villages focused primarily on agriculture, retaining their German language, religion and culture. There were also some Germans, mostly in the skilled trades and upper class, living in St. Petersburg and Moscow since the time of Peter the Great, but they were fairly small in number. '''TO PARTICIPATE, PLEASE JOIN ONE OF OUR SUB-TEAMS, below.''' ===Sub-Teams=== * [[Space:Volga_German_Team|Volga Germans]] - Team Leader: [[Gunther-113|Russ Gunther]] *[[Space:Black_Sea_Germans|Black Sea Germans Team]] - Team Leader: [[Hensel-236|Carrie Lippincott]] ===Information Page=== *[[Space:Volhynia|Volhynia]] (was previously a team) ==History== Catherine the Great, the Czarina of the Russian Empire from 1762 to 1796, was actually born into German royalty in 1729. After marrying Peter III, she eventually deposed him and became the longest reigning woman in the history of the Russian Empire. The Russians had been steadily expanding their territory, and Catherine the Great continued this, gaining lands that reached the Black Sea. This area of the Western Steppe needed farmers, and Catherine knew where to find them - her fellow Germans. They were industrious and could learn the dryland technique of farming that was needed to grow wheat, sugar beets and other crops in the open grasslands. She promised them villages, where they could settle as a group, often coming en masse from the same district of Germany, speaking the same regional dialect. Each village would have its own religion, typically Lutheran, Catholic or Mennonite. There were some Jewish colonies as well. Each village would have its own church and school, and Germans would be exempt from serving in the military. This was especially attractive during the Napoleonic wars. {{Image|file=Germans_of_Russia_Team.jpg|caption=Germans in Russia |align=r}} In 1783 the Russian Empire gained control of the Crimean peninsula. By 1803 Germans were establishing colonies here as well. Eventually conditions for Germans in Russia deteriorated. Exemption from the military was dropped, there was general unrest in Russia due to changing laws on the serfs and peasants, and rising land prices. Large scale emigration to North and South America in particular took place from the 1870s to 1917. After the Russian Revolution, conditions got worse, particularly with the two World Wars. Stalin persecuted the Germans in his own country, thinking they were sympathetic to the German side. People were arrested, sent to work camps, and often killed. In the early 1930s, a forced starvation (Holodomor) took place among the Germans, Ukrainians and other non-Russian ethnic groups in the Ukraine, Crimea and South Volga region. Soviet leaders claimed there were crop shortages, and likely millions of Russian subjects died of starvation. It is said that Stalin exported grain during this time to pay for the building of their massive subway system in Moscow, with cathedral-like rooms and magnificent chandeliers. Germans that survived this period were deported to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, or Siberia. Families were often split up, the German churches razed or turned into barns, and gravestones used for paving blocks. *[https://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/research-history/history-germans-russia History of Germans from Russia] GRHS (ndsu.edu) ==Emigration== Heavy emigration of Germans from the Russian Empire to the U.S. and Canada took place from the 1870s to early 1900s. Mennonites started first, as they were pacifists and the Russian Empire took away the Germans’ right to not be conscripted to the military. After the 1917 Russian revolution, emigration was essentially stopped, and many living in the west lost contact with family members still in Russia. Many of the areas that these Germans from Russia settled in - Kansas, the Dakotas, Manitoba, etc. were quite similar to conditions they knew in Russia - vast open spaces with modest rainfall. Their dryland farming techniques worked well here. In 1910, 5% of the population of North Dakota had been born in Russia, and most were Germans. They did not see themselves as Russians, but their experiences were much different than Germans who came directly to the U.S. They tended to form tight-knit communities, and kept their German language as the main language until the 1940s and 1950s. After the reunification of Germany in 1991, some Germans living in Russia moved back to Germany, even though in many cases their ancestors had left the country 200 years before. Many of those born after WWII did not speak German, and often those that did spoke a dialect no longer used in Germany. ==Notable Germans from Russia== Partial list, including children and grandchildren of German emigrants from Russia. * [[Welk-26|Lawrence Welk]] (bandleader) * Thomas Daschle (U.S. Senator) * [[Deutschendorf-8|John Denver (Deutschendorf)]] (singer) * Brian Schweitzer (Governor of Montana 2005-2013) * Angie Dickinson (actress) * [[Stumpp-52|Karl Stumpp]] (Ethnographer and German-from-Russia researcher) * Pyotr Schmidt (Captain in Russian Navy, leader in Sebastapol Uprising) * [[Köhler-1908|Horst Köhler]] (President of Germany 2004-2010) * [[Neff-2424|Janet Wentz]] (Speaker of the House for North Dakota 2002-2003, House of Rep. 1974-2003) * Anna German (Polish singer) * Boris Rauschenbach (Soviet physicist, rocket engineer) * Andreas Wolf (German football player and coach) * [[Kessler-1380| Josef Alois Kessler]] (Archbishop of Tiraspol) * [[Schiller-454| Franz Schiller]] (Soviet literature professor) ==Resources== *[https://www.sggee.org SGGEE.org: The Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe] - focuses on the genealogy of Germans from Russian Poland and Volhynia *[https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Germans_from_Russia_Church_Records Germans from Russia Church Records] - Family Search *[http://files.lib.byu.edu/family-history-library/research-outlines/Europe/GermansFromRussia.pdf Germans From Russia Genealogical Research Outline] - PDF from BYU

Lists are also provided by modern German state and *'''[[:Category:Germany%2C_Needs_Profiles_Created|Category:Germany, Needs Profiles Created]]''': This category exists as a way of noting profiles that have sources for family members who do not yet have profiles on WikiTree. For example, a member might have only created a profile for a daughter mentioned in a census. However, the rest of the family still needs to be added to WikiTree. *Work from '''[[Special:WatchedList|your own Watchlist]]''': One of the easiest ways to participate is to work on building out your own family lines.

You can sort that list several ways, and also limit it to a particular surname.

Quotes of a sentence or two (maximum) must be within quotation marks and the source cited in an inline reference. For WikiTree's guidelines regarding this, please see [[Help:Copying_Text]]. If you feel that the biography has been copied and pasted from somewhere, paste a couple sentences into Google and see what comes up. == Profile Development == ===Duplicates/Suggestions/Headings and Categories=== :1. Duplicate profiles are searched for and merged (or pending). See [[Help:Merging]] and [[Help:Matching_and_Merging_FAQ]]. :2. Suggestions are resolved (click “Suggestions” in the drop-down menu under the WikiTree ID in the mini-menu at upper right of the profile page). See [[Help:WikiTree_Plus#Suggestions|Suggestions]] :3. Headings are in accordance with WikiTree guidelines [[Help:Biographies#Required:_Biography_and_Sources|HERE]], with a minimum of: ::== Biography == :: == Sources == :: [[Categories]] :: {{Research Note Boxes}} :: {{Project Boxes}} '''[NOTE: {{German Roots}} is our project box]''' :: == Biography == :: {{Profile Stickers}} :: == Research Notes == [if needed] :: == Sources == :: See also: :See: [[Help:Biographies]] and [[Help:Editing_Tips]]. :4. Check that categories, including location categories, are supported in the text. If a category is not supported, look for evidence to support it. See [[Help:Categorization]] and [[:Category:Germany]]. NOTE: Germany Project's category structure needs work. They will be overhauled in the future ===Links to Online Trees and GEDCOMS=== :5. On pre-1700 profiles, remove links to any online trees on Ancestry.com, FamilySearch or elsewhere and note (or remove) questionable sources, such as peerage.com, that are not considered accepted/reliable sources for pre-1700 profiles. (Note: Links to primary sources (i.e.: birth, marriage, death records) found on FamilySearch and Ancestry are welcome, but they should be checked to ensure the data is relevant to the profile and that the link is in working order.) See [[Help:Pre-1700_Profiles]]. :6. Irrelevant GEDCOM-imported information should be deleted. From [[Help:Biographies]]: "Always feel free to eliminate data that does not add information about, or specific context to, the profiled individual..." For guidance on formatting GEDCOM-imported sources, see [[Help:GEDCOM-Created_Biographies]]. ===Research, Sourcing and Profile Development=== :7. Is there enough research done for a full and complete biography? If not, take some time to do more research, and add more reliable sources and data to the biography. Even a quick Google search might yield some good results. See a list of Germany Project's resources [[Space:German_Roots_Project_Resources|HERE]] :8. Check the sources under "See also". Is the citation style correct? Are the links correct and working? Can that source be cited inline in the bio? Can more info be added to the bio from that source? NOTE: Germany Project-managed profiles follow WikiTree's Style Guidelines and do NOT generally add a separate Source List/Bibliography. :9. Check the inline citations against the source material so far as you can, ensuring the data in the bio matches precisely to the info contained in the source. (Some sources may not be accessible to you.) :*Make sure the source’s link in WikiTree is working and that the format of the citation is correct. :*Add quotation marks around anything that is a direct quote, or better yet, write it in your own words. :*'''While you do this, you may want to re-write/expand the biography with more information from each source'''. :10. Consider moving lengthy items such as typed-out wills to a free-space profile page (FSP). Then embed a link to the FSP into the bio, replacing the lengthy text. See [[Help:Free-Space_Profile]]. :11. Add a Research Notes section where appropriate, especially if there are contentious aspects to the biography or relationships. If there has been any major alteration to the “facts” as written before, note the reason for the changes and your sources. See [[Help:Research_Notes]]. :12. Spell out abbreviations within the biography (for example, outside of the datafields, months should be spelled out). :13. Add headings to a longer biography when appropriate. ====German Orthography==== :The German alphabet consists of the twenty-six letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus four special letters. Whenever possible, try to use following special letters in name and location fields. The ALT + number codes you can use for each are as follows: ::ß or ALT 225 ::ä or ALT 132 ::Ä ot ALT 0196 ::ö or ALT 148 ::Ö or ALT 0214 ::ü or ALT 129 ::Ü or ALT 0220 ===Genealogical Information: Family, Dates and Places=== :14. Ensure genealogical information - Parents, Birth, Marriage(s), Child(ren), Death - if included, is easily located within the biography text and has an inline citation to source(s), preferably a primary source. :15. '''FAMILY MEMBERS''': Add links to the WikiTree profiles of parents/spouses/children named in the biography, e.g., [[Example-3|G.G. Example]], with inline citations. If links already exist in the bio, check that those links are still intact (profile ID's change over the years due to merges, renaming, etc). NOTE: Basics on family members can be included, but extensive details are generally better on the family member’s profile. :* For parents/children whose relationship is clearly supported by a '''primary source''' (and noted as such in text), set the relationship as “Confident”. :* Profiles for children that have support can be linked in a list of children (with appropriate citations/notes) or can be discussed in a "Disputed Children" section under the 2nd-level heading "Research Notes". Profiles for children that have no support should be detached after discussing with the profile managers and posting to G2G (a relationship change is considered a major change, so should be discussed first: see [[Help:Communication_Before_Editing|Communication Before Editing]] for details). Where a child is detached, a research note should normally be added to explain briefly why, even if it is just to say there is no good source for the relationship. :* Consider creating a profile for a parent named in a primary source if one does not exist. It is not necessary for every child to have a profile (for example, profiles for children who died young or died without issue need not be created), but if all known children do have a profile attached, click “No more children” under the list of children in Edit view. :16. '''DATES/PLACES''': Compare dates/places in the profile’s data fields to the SOURCED entries in the biography. Are they the same? If not, adjust them. :* If you can’t find dates, estimates are ok. See this link: [[Help:Estimated_Dates]]. An estimated date of birth is much better than leaving that field blank. :* Do not add specific places of birth/marriage and death to the datafields unless there is a source to support that info. If you don't have a sourced place, add only the estimated country, marked uncertain. :* German place name and naming datafield guidelines are under development at Feb 2021. If you have a question about which names/place to use, please reach out using our [[Space:Germany_Project_Communication|Means of communication in the Germany Project]]. ===Acknowledgements and Images=== :17. '''ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS''' for gedcom imports or minor changes aren’t necessary as they can be seen in the changes tab. Individual acknowledgements can be removed completely or you may add something like: “Click the Changes tab to see edits to this profile. Thank you to everyone who contributed." :18. '''IMAGES''' should be relevant to the profile and '''must not infringe copyright'''. Wikimedia Commons is one of many places where you can find images to use on the profile. Each image has information on if and how you can use the image and download options. Always choose the highest resolution available, Wikitree will re-size the image to a thumbnail, profile photo or background. There needs to be an indication in comments on the image of where it has come from and why it is permissible to use it. :* [[Space:Galleries and Collections which have given Permission for use of Images|This free space]] page lists some Galleries and Collections which have given general permission for the use of images on WikiTree, and the form of accreditation they ask for. :* Heraldry: DO NOT ADD unless you have a very good source for the image you're adding. A profile comment should be posted BEFORE adding heraldry found in an internet search (these are often disproved or not applicable to the profile in question). ==Finishing Up== :19. Read through the profile again to check that it flows, makes sense, and genealogical "vitals" (parents, birth, marriage, children, death) are sourced and easily found. Check for typos and run a spellcheck. :20. Post a comment to the profile to say you've completed your work. :21. Pat yourself on the back … you just improved our shared tree and many will be grateful for your hard work! ==Additional Help Pages== *[[Help:Sources_Style_Guide]] *[[Help:Sources#Embed_them_as_references_.28footnotes.29|Inline citation help]] *[[Help:Photos_FAQ]] ----

'''Germany Project Arborists Team'''
==VERY IMPORTANT NOTE== '''{{red|Unlike profile edits, merges on WikiTree CANNOT be reverted/reversed. It is very important that you closely follow the guidance below and always ask any questions you have BEFORE completing a merge.}}''' ==What We Do: Merge Duplicate Profiles== Merging duplicates is one of the most important jobs on WikiTree. Merging duplicates can be an ambiguous and complicated process at times. Merging duplicates is a learning process but, in time, the process will become second nature. For more information, click [[Project:Arborists|here]] to go to the main Arborist Project page. This Team will specifically focus on two aspects of the merging process: #Complete approved merges (approved by PMs or by default) #Research unmerged matches, make a determination if they are duplicates, and re-propose a merge or reject the match. ==How to Join== To join, post a comment below, or send an email to [[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]] and we'll get you signed up. ==How to Participate== '''FIRST, READ ALL THE [[#Help Pages|HELP PAGES]] BELOW'''. ===Complete Approved Merges=== *Open the list [[#LISTS OF PENDING MERGES and MATCHES|below]] and choose an approved merge, follow all instructions for merging and complete (or sometimes match or reject) the merge. ===Research Unmerged Matches=== *Open the list [[#LISTS OF PENDING MERGES and MATCHES|below]] and choose match to research. Some of these are VERY complicated and others can be merges/rejected after a quick examination. Beware, most of these matches will require a bit of time and research and could lead you down a research "rabbit hole" of conflated profiles and previous incorrect merges. This work is best done by experienced (and very patient) WikiTreers who enjoy a good puzzle. ===Help Pages=== :For information on merging profiles, see the following guidance: *[[Help:Merging]] *[[Help:Matching_and_Merging_FAQ]] *[[Project:Arborists]] *[[Project:Arborists/New_Arborists]] *[[Project:Arborists/Helpful_Links]] *[https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/51703/reason-behind-merges-identifying-numbered-profile-correct G2G post] - identifying correct profile to merge into/profile ID numbers *[[Special:MergeSpace|Link to merge Free Space Profiles]] *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Waad3pFg74 YouTube Video - Merging Basics] (4 minute video tutorial) ===LISTS OF PENDING MERGES and MATCHES=== *'''[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=germany+pendingmerge&MaxProfiles=5000&PageSize=200 GERMAN PENDING MERGES]''' *'''[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=germany+unmergedmatch&MaxProfiles=5000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=200 GERMAN UNMERGED MATCHES]''' (sorted by DOB, you may wish to click "last" at the bottom of the first page to take you to the most modern profiles) ==The Team== *[[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]] (Project Coordinator) *[[Straub-620|Florian Straub]] (Team Leader) *[[Thiessen-117|Traci Thiessen]] ---- This is an active [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] page with up-to-date information.

Names, Location and Categories for
German Profiles on WikiTree Day 2023|playlist=WikiTreeDay2023}}}} __TOC__ ==High Level Categories== '''NOTE''': The categories below are "high level categories" and should serve as a starting point to categorizing. Please do NOT add individual profiles to these categories. Instead add profiles to the narrowest category possible, starting with the subcategories named in each high-level category. *[[:Category:Germany|Category: Germany]] *[[:Category:German_Nobility|Category: German Nobility]] (please categorize to proper house) == Location Categories == As opposed to location fields for birth, marriage and death, which [[Space:Germany_Project_Location_Field_Guidelines|are supposed to be used in their historic form at the time of the event]], German location field categories for places resemble the present structure of Germany. Like this, both aspects are combined in a profile. For detailed information on how to name and categorize location categories, please refer to the guide on [[Space:Structure_and_how_to_use_regional_categories_for_Germany|Structure and how to use regional categories for Germany]]. Please only use present day categories instead of using subcategories of [[:Category:German_History|Category: German History]]/[[:Category:Former German Territories|Category: Former German Territories]]. Since the structure of what is now Germany [[Space:German_territorial_structure_in_the_course_of_history|changed quite frequently]], it is impossible to also have different historical categories for villages and cities per time frame. As opposed to the migration categories, the location categories are supposed to be named in German. Historical German territory categories should also not be used to categorize nobility carrying the name of their territory (e.g. members of the [https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/HOHENZOLLERN-SIGMARINGEN family Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen] are supposed to be categorized below [[:Category:House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]] rather than below a [[:Category:Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen]]). This only applies to locations that belong to today's Germany. Locations that used to belong to Germany, but are now situated in other European countries, can be categorized by their former German name and historical location (e.g. [[:Category: Königsberg, Königsberg, Ostpreußen]]). These categories can be linked to their present-day equivalent in the current country using [[Template:Aka]], like explained on the page about the [[Space:Categorization_structure_for_Prussia|Categorization structure for Prussia (in present-day Poland only)]], which will synchronize the profiles in both categories. [[Space:Banat_Location_Categories|Banat Location Categories]] use the same mechanism. A way of creating present-day location categories without too much typing effort is using eiher [[Space:WikiTree BEE|WikiTree BEE]] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okOe7sHjuQs a bookmarklet to generate the category code from Wikipedia]. The [https://github.com/FlominatorTM/WikiTree/blob/master/Bookmarklets/WikipediaDeLocationCategoriesTNG.js TNG version of the bookmarklet also tries to guess counties and states. == Migration Categories == Germany-related migration categories in general follow the [[Space:Migration_Category_Structure|Migration Category Structure]]. But as opposed to the location categories, the categories for migration from location A to location B are in English and use historic names. That's what the subcategories of [[:Category:German_History|Category: German History]] are for. Generally migration categories should include the kind of territory, they refer to, e.g. county ("Grafschaft"), duchy ("Herzogtum"), electorate ("Kurfürstentum"), free imperial city ("Freie Reichsstadt"), kingdom ("Königreich"), landgraviate ("Landgrafschaft"), lordship ("Herrschaft", margraviate ("Markgrafschaft"), prince-bishopric ("Fürstbistum", "Hochstift") or principality ("Fürstentum"). Only for historical/legacy reasons are currently a few exceptions to this rule, e.g. the categories for Prussia, Württemberg and Lippe. The migration categories simplify German territorial history a bit, in order to maintain less categories (and more sanity). The top level categories for people emigrating from what is now Germany to another country: * [[:Category: Holy Roman Empire, Emigrants]] (emigration until 1806) * [[:Category: German Confederation, Emigrants]] (emigration between 1806 and 1870) * [[:Category: German Empire, Emigrants]] (emigration between 1871 and World War II) * [[:Category: Germany, Emigrants]] (only for emigration after World War II and today) Same goes for people immigrating to what is now Germany: * [[:Category: Holy Roman Empire, Immigrants]] (immigration until 1806) * [[:Category: German Confederation, Immigrants]] (immigration between 1806 and 1870) * [[:Category: German Empire, Immigrants]] (immigration between 1871 and World War II) * [[:Category: Germany, Immigrants]] (only for immigration after World War II and today) The migration categories also ignore the change from noble reigns (kingdoms, duchies ...) to republics in the early 20th century. Therefore, for example, the category [[:Category: Grand Duchy of Baden, Emigrants]] covers both German Confederation and German Empire until 1945, even though it was the Republic of Baden since 1918. Profiles with migration from and to the German Democratic Republic ("East Germany") between 1949 and 1990 should use the subcategories of [[:Category: German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Emigrants]] and [[:Category: German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Immigrants]]. For an overview over existing migration categories through the middle of the 19th century, check out [[Space:German_Diaspora:_Emigration_during_the_mid-19th_Century|German Diaspora: Emigration during the mid-19th Century]]. Some sub projects also have migrant categories of their own: *[[Space:Germanna_Colonies_Project|Germanna Colonies America]]: German settlement in the Colony of Virginia starting in 1714. *[[Space:Prussian Settlement in Australia - German Australians|Prussian Settlement in Australia - German Australians]] team page. This team is mainly focussed on Prussian emigrants to Australia and is run by the Australia Project. *[[Space:Markham Berczy Settlers Project|Markham Berczy Settlers]]: adding the 64 German families who arrived in Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1794 with William Berczy and settled in Markham Township. *[[Space:German_Brazilians|German Brazilians]]: From 1824 to 1969, around 250,000 Germans emigrated to Brazil. The earliest colonists arrived between 1818-1824, forming the colonies in Ilhéus, Bahia, São Jorge and São Leopoldo. The bookmarklet [https://github.com/FlominatorTM/WikiTree/tree/master/Bookmarklets#migrationcategoryhelperjs MigrationCategoryHelper.js] makes setting up location categories a lot easier by filling in most of the parameters based on the name of the category. Meanwhile the [[Space:WikiTree_Browser_Extension|WikiTree Browser Extension]] will also automatically populate the template code, if you open a new migration category edit view. == Cemetery Categories == Categories for cemeteries in present-day Germany should be categorized below [[:Category: Germany, Cemeteries]] in the subcategory of the state. Although the German states below this category are in English (e.g. "Bavaria" instead of "Bayern"), the actual cemetery category names should contain the German state name, since the cemetery category will also be listed below the corresponding location category, which also has it's name in German spelling. For example, the [[:Category: Waldfriedhof Dachsberg, Kamp-Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfalen]], is categorized below [[:Category: North Rhine-Westphalia, Cemeteries]] (via the "parent" parameter in [[:Template:CategoryInfoBox Cemetery]]), as well as below [[:Category: Kamp-Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfalen]] (via the "location" parameter). A county or city subcategory of [[:Category: North Rhine-Westphalia, Cemeteries]], would still use the English state name. == Early Deaths == The subcategories of these categories should be filled with present-day German state names in English. * [[:Category:Germany, Stillbirth]] * [[:Category:Germany, Infant Mortality]] * [[:Category:Germany, Child Mortality]] == Categories in German == All categories containing German names instead of English ones should be sorted into a subcategory of [[:Category: Kategorien]]. There should also be a matching English category name. Categories with same meaning and different language should be linked using [[Template:Aka]]. There is also a [[:Category:Berufe]] as German equivalent to the other translated versions of [[:Category: Occupations]]. It mainly consists of subcategories of [[:Category: Deutschland, Berufe]] aka [[:Category:Germany, Occupations]] in order to group "Germans" with that said occupation. In order to prevent confusion with potential surname categories, these subcategories receive the suffix (Beruf) for example [[:Category: Deutschland, Schneider (Beruf)]]. == Maintenance Categories == The categories below [[:Category: Germany, Maintenance Categories]] can be used for marking and finding profiles requiring work. Among those categories are: * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Birth Record]] - should only be used if it is roughly clear, in which place to look * [[:Category: Germany Family Brick Walls]] - should be used for cases where only a state or region of origin is known instead of a exact place. Maybe our hints on [[Space:How_to_break_down_your_German_immigrant_brick_wall|How to break down your German immigrant brick wall]] help you finding a place to look at. ** [[:Category: Germany, Family Brick Wall Parents]] - in case somebody also created the parents for person of more or less unknown origin, those can be put here, because it's rather unlikely for them to be solved, before the birth of their child is found. Consider not creating profiles for parents you only have names for. * [[:Category: Germany, Unsourced Profiles]] - for profiles (mostly) containing [[Template:Unsourced]], because they don't have any [[Help:Sources FAQ|sources]], might be used in [[Help:Source-a-Thon|Source-a-Thons]] * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Profiles Created]] - for profiles containing (hopefully sourced) data of additional people, from which one could create profiles, might be used in [[Help:Connect-a-Thon|Connect-a-Thons]] * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Research]] - general category, that often contains profiles unclear what research is needed exactly. Instead of using this category, add a meaningful Research Notes section about what needs to be researched and use ** [[:Category: Germany, Needs Research And Has Research Notes]] - for profiles, where it was made clear, what needs to be researched. Please consider avoiding the use of too general categories like [[:Category: Germany, Needs More Records]] and use specific ones like [[:Category: Germany, Needs Birth Record]] instead. Historically there's also [[:Category: German Roots Project Maintenance Categories]], which should be dissolved and merged with the previous one in medium term. The same hopefully might happen to [[:Category: Germany, Needs More Records]] one day. == Help == If you are unsure which category to use or how to create one, feel free to ask for support via one of our [[Space:Germany_Project_Communication|means of communication in the Germany Project]] or to reach out to the [[Space:Germany_Categorization_Team|Germany Categorization Team]] either individually or by leaving a comment.

The top level categories for people emigrating from what is now Germany to another country: * [[:Category: Holy Roman Empire, Emigrants]] (emigration until 1806) * [[:Category: German Confederation, Emigrants]] (emigration between 1806 and 1870) * [[:Category: German Empire, Emigrants]] (emigration between 1871 and World War II) * [[:Category: Germany, Emigrants]] (only for emigration after World War II and today) Same goes for people immigrating to what is now Germany: * [[:Category: Holy Roman Empire, Immigrants]] (immigration until 1806) * [[:Category: German Confederation, Immigrants]] (immigration between 1806 and 1870) * [[:Category: German Empire, Immigrants]] (immigration between 1871 and World War II) * [[:Category: Germany, Immigrants]] (only for immigration after World War II and today) The migration categories also ignore the change from noble reigns (kingdoms, duchies ...) to republics in the early 20th century. Therefore, for example, the category [[:Category: Grand Duchy of Baden, Emigrants]] covers both German Confederation and German Empire until 1945, even though it was the Republic of Baden since 1918. Profiles with migration from and to the German Democratic Republic ("East Germany") between 1949 and 1990 should use the subcategories of [[:Category: German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Emigrants]] and [[:Category: German Democratic Republic (East Germany), Immigrants]]. For an overview over existing migration categories through the middle of the 19th century, check out [[Space:German_Diaspora:_Emigration_during_the_mid-19th_Century|German Diaspora: Emigration during the mid-19th Century]]. Some sub projects also have migrant categories of their own: *[[Space:Germanna_Colonies_Project|Germanna Colonies America]]: German settlement in the Colony of Virginia starting in 1714. *[[Space:Prussian Settlement in Australia - German Australians|Prussian Settlement in Australia - German Australians]] team page. This team is mainly focussed on Prussian emigrants to Australia and is run by the Australia Project. *[[Space:Markham Berczy Settlers Project|Markham Berczy Settlers]]: adding the 64 German families who arrived in Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1794 with William Berczy and settled in Markham Township. *[[Space:German_Brazilians|German Brazilians]]: From 1824 to 1969, around 250,000 Germans emigrated to Brazil. The earliest colonists arrived between 1818-1824, forming the colonies in Ilhéus, Bahia, São Jorge and São Leopoldo. The bookmarklet [https://github.com/FlominatorTM/WikiTree/tree/master/Bookmarklets#migrationcategoryhelperjs MigrationCategoryHelper.js] makes setting up location categories a lot easier by filling in most of the parameters based on the name of the category. Meanwhile the [[Space:WikiTree_Browser_Extension|WikiTree Browser Extension]] will also automatically populate the template code, if you open a new migration category edit view. == Cemetery Categories == Categories for cemeteries in present-day Germany should be categorized below [[:Category: Germany, Cemeteries]] in the subcategory of the state. Although the German states below this category are in English (e.g. "Bavaria" instead of "Bayern"), the actual cemetery category names should contain the German state name, since the cemetery category will also be listed below the corresponding location category, which also has it's name in German spelling. For example, the [[:Category: Waldfriedhof Dachsberg, Kamp-Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfalen]], is categorized below [[:Category: North Rhine-Westphalia, Cemeteries]] (via the "parent" parameter in [[:Template:CategoryInfoBox Cemetery]]), as well as below [[:Category: Kamp-Lintfort, Nordrhein-Westfalen]] (via the "location" parameter). A county or city subcategory of [[:Category: North Rhine-Westphalia, Cemeteries]], would still use the English state name. == Early Deaths == The subcategories of these categories should be filled with present-day German state names in English. * [[:Category:Germany, Stillbirth]] * [[:Category:Germany, Infant Mortality]] * [[:Category:Germany, Child Mortality]] == Categories in German == All categories containing German names instead of English ones should be sorted into a subcategory of [[:Category: Kategorien]]. There should also be a matching English category name. Categories with same meaning and different language should be linked using [[Template:Aka]]. There is also a [[:Category:Berufe]] as German equivalent to the other translated versions of [[:Category: Occupations]]. It mainly consists of subcategories of [[:Category: Deutschland, Berufe]] aka [[:Category:Germany, Occupations]] in order to group "Germans" with that said occupation. In order to prevent confusion with potential surname categories, these subcategories receive the suffix (Beruf) for example [[:Category: Deutschland, Schneider (Beruf)]]. == Maintenance Categories == The categories below [[:Category: Germany, Maintenance Categories]] can be used for marking and finding profiles requiring work. Among those categories are: * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Birth Record]] - should only be used if it is roughly clear, in which place to look * [[:Category: Germany Family Brick Walls]] - should be used for cases where only a state or region of origin is known instead of a exact place. Maybe our hints on [[Space:How_to_break_down_your_German_immigrant_brick_wall|How to break down your German immigrant brick wall]] help you finding a place to look at. ** [[:Category: Germany, Family Brick Wall Parents]] - in case somebody also created the parents for person of more or less unknown origin, those can be put here, because it's rather unlikely for them to be solved, before the birth of their child is found. Consider not creating profiles for parents you only have names for. * [[:Category: Germany, Unsourced Profiles]] - for profiles (mostly) containing [[Template:Unsourced]], because they don't have any [[Help:Sources FAQ|sources]], might be used in [[Help:Source-a-Thon|Source-a-Thons]] * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Profiles Created]] - for profiles containing (hopefully sourced) data of additional people, from which one could create profiles, might be used in [[Help:Connect-a-Thon|Connect-a-Thons]] * [[:Category: Germany, Needs Research]] - general category, that often contains profiles unclear what research is needed exactly. Instead of using this category, add a meaningful Research Notes section about what needs to be researched and use ** [[:Category: Germany, Needs Research And Has Research Notes]] - for profiles, where it was made clear, what needs to be researched. Please consider avoiding the use of too general categories like [[:Category: Germany, Needs More Records]] and use specific ones like [[:Category: Germany, Needs Birth Record]] instead. Historically there's also [[:Category: German Roots Project Maintenance Categories]], which should be dissolved and merged with the previous one in medium term. The same hopefully might happen to [[:Category: Germany, Needs More Records]] one day. == Help == If you are unsure which category to use or how to create one, feel free to ask for support via one of our [[Space:Germany_Project_Communication|means of communication in the Germany Project]] or to reach out to the [[Space:Germany_Categorization_Team|Germany Categorization Team]] either individually or by leaving a comment.

The [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] uses various means of communication, which may be a bit overwhelming for beginners. This page explains what they are, where to find them and how they are used. Feel free to edit this page and to ask questions in the comments section. You can use any or all of them to ask for help with WikiTree or your research, to brag about your achievements etc. Feel free to [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Space:Germany_Project_Communication&action=joinnetwork request Trusted List access] to this page, in order to see updates to it in your personalized weekly newsletter. == G2G == [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/ G2G] ("Genealogist to genealogist") is the "forum" of WikiTree. Tags are used to categorize/label the questions. Frequently used tags for topics related to Germany are [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/germany GERMANY], [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/german_roots GERMAN_ROOTS] and [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/tag/holy_roman_empire HOLY_ROMAN_EMPIRE]. You can follow tags and will receive a daily email update of G2G posts where the followed tag was added, commented on or replied to. This daily email is not to be confused with the personalized weekly newsletter, sent on Wednesdays, which contains changes to profiles on your watch list. The [[WikiTree-53|Germany Project user account]] also follows some tags. That one's daily email update is mirrored to the [[#Google Group]]. The same goes for the #germany-g2g channel on [[#Discord]]. When posting at G2G you theoretically reach everyone on WikiTree who generally looks at G2G or watches a tag you used in your post. == Google Group == The [https://groups.google.com/g/wikitreegermanroots Google Group] is a traditional electronic mailing list, where one sends a message and all subscribers receive it. You can also read it on the Google website. The Google Group is the email address for the "artificial" [[WikiTree-53|Germany Project user account]], which means the Google Group will receive the daily [[#G2G]] updates to the tags followed by this particular account, as well as the personalized weekly newsletter for it, comments on project managed profiles and private messages sent to this account (unfortunately including the email address of the sending account). Access to the group is limited to project members. Please state your WikiTree ID when joining. If your posts don't go through, it might be related to your email provider. Google Groups is known to have problems with emails sent from GMX. In this case you might want to try subscribing with a different mail address. In case that's not the one you want to receive mails with, feel free to put that one's subscription to "web only". In the last years activity in the Google Group declined pretty much in favor of G2G and Discord. == Discord == Discord is a messenger/chat tool that also allows audio and video communication. There are channels for different topics, projects and challenges as well as a general chat channel. It can also be used for 1:1 chat with a person or a small group. Apart from the browser version, there are also apps for Android and Apple phones, which generates a user experience similar to Whatsapp, Threema, Signal and other messenger apps. You can also customize notifications for each channel individually. For details on how to access [https://discord.gg/9EMSdccnn3 WikiTree's Discord server] and some of the restricted channels, please refer to [[Help:Discord]]. Since Discord is sometimes criticized for their handling of privacy etc., you might not want to share very personal stuff there. In Discord there is a channel [https://discord.com/channels/494893309152722955/495962287304212502 #germany] for project members. You can also notify all Germany project members on Discord from any other channel by using @germany. For [[Space:Germany_Genies|Germany Genies]], our team at challenges like the [[Help:Connect-a-Thon|Connect-a-Thon]], there is also [https://discord.com/channels/494893309152722955/856522751173853194 #germany-genies]. If you were ever a member of the team, your access there will remain, so you can cheer others along, even if you are not participating. The channel [https://discord.com/channels/494893309152722955/1109334067213774939 #germany-g2g] will receive new [[#G2G]] posts, if they contain the tags Germany, German_Roots, German, Holy_Roman_Empire, Deutschland or Prussia. This is faster than the daily email update on those tags, but a new post is only created, when a new question is posted. As opposed to the daily email update, you won't recognize, when somebody reacts with a comment or an answer to a G2G post. If you're looking for profiles that need help, you might want to check out [https://discord.com/channels/494893309152722955/1129385177827790908 #germany-category-feeds]. There every few days profiles are automatically posted, that were added to or removed from certain categories. Most of those categories often receive profiles that do not belong there (e.g. "[[:Category:Germany, Immigrants]]" and "[[:Category:Germany, Emigrants]]" for people who clearly migrated before 1945, see [[Space:Germany_Project_Category_Guidelines#Maintenance_Categories]]). Additionally some "needs work" categories are monitored there, like [[:Category:Germany, Needs Birth Record]]. Feel free to help out there and post, when you're done. If you've reviewed an automated post there and consider it done, please react to it, with the checked emoji (✓), so other's don't need to check them as well. There are also some false positives posted. If you're unsure, why a category is monitored at all there, please refer to the [https://discord.com/channels/494893309152722955/1129385177827790908/1133249781934854144 pinned post] in the channel or just ask. == Additional offers in German language == In order to support Germany Project users who are not comfortable communicating in English, there are additional offers in German language: * The Discord server [https://discord.gg/EJTWtbZDgu Ahnenforschung] contains a channel [https://discord.com/channels/820628363935744010/820629461992996885 #wikitree]. It also offers support in deciphering documents (#lesehilfe). * Compgen's Discourse [https://discourse.genealogy.net/c/wikitree/152 category WikiTree] is a mixture of forum and mailing list, like the [[#Google Group]], but doesn't receive the messages for the "artificial" Germany Project user account. You might want to check out [https://wiki.genealogy.net/Discourse_H%C3%A4ufig_gestellte_Fragen_und_Antworten_(FAQ) the FAQs about Compgen's Discourse] (not to be confused with Discord!) * [[Space:Stammtisch|Stammtisch]] offers regular Zoom meetings to talk about WikiTree and genealogy in German

'''Germany Project Connectors Team'''
==What We Do: Connect Profiles to Our Shared Tree== WikiTree's mission is to connect the human family on one tree that we all share. The Germany Project would love to see all German profiles connected to the larger tree. This team focuses on linking to our main Global Family Tree all the loose German branches and profiles around WikiTree. For more information on making connections on WikiTree, see [[Help:Unconnected]], which has step-by-step instructions on how to connect the unconnected. This team works off lists ([[#The Lists|links below]]) which include unconnected profiles of people who were born or died in Germany. ==How to Join== To join, or post a comment below or send an email to [[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]] and we'll get you signed up. ==How to Participate== #Click on a link to one of the unconnected profile lists below (the main list, by century, or by region). Those links will take you to a WikiTree+ search page. #The pages are set up to be sorted by birth date; however, you can edit the search parameters to sort by name (first or last), birth or death location, or date of death. #Click on "Get Profiles" in the blue box in the left column and you'll get a list of unconnected profiles. #Choose a profile and try to connect it to our global tree. ===LISTS OF UNCONNECTED PROFILES=== :Click this link: '''[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected&MaxProfiles=100000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 MAIN UNCONNECTED PROFILES LIST]''', then click the blue "Get Profiles" box in the left column to get a list of unconnected profiles. '''NOTE''': There are over 90,000 total unconnected German profiles, so you'll probably want to break the list down by century or region, below. :The list above, broken apart by century, is as follows: :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+20cen&MaxProfiles=10000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1900's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+19cen&MaxProfiles=50000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1800's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+18cen&MaxProfiles=20000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1700's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+17cen&MaxProfiles=10000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1600's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+16cen&MaxProfiles=10000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1500's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+15cen&MaxProfiles=10000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1400's] :*[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=location%3DGermany+unconnected+14cen&MaxProfiles=1000&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 1300's] :* pre-1300 profiles can be seen at the beginning of the MAIN UNCONNECTED PROFILES LIST linked above. :Unconnected profiles can also be seen on our main [[Space:Germany_Regions_Team#16_L.C3.A4nder_States_Facts_Table|'''Regions Team''']] page, where they are separated by region in the table. :If you're familiar with using WikiTree+, you can narrow the search to a specific last name, place of interest, etc. See the [[Help:WikiTree_Plus|WikiTree+ Help page]] for tips on how to search WikiTree+. :Automated list: [[Automated:DD_Unconnected_List_DEU|HERE]]. ===2022 Germany Connectors Challenges=== * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1381809/germany-project-connectors-challenge-march-2022-painters March]: Painters * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1368070/germany-project-connectors-challenge-olympians February]: Olympians * [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1350463/germany-project-wishes-everybody-monthly-connection-challenge January]: Firsts/pioneers in their fields ==The Team== *[[Cornell-4025|Steve Cornell]] *[[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]] (Project Coordinator) *[[Marchal-178|Isabelle Huth]] *[[Koehnline-1|T.L.

'''Germany Project Data Doctors Team'''
==What We Do: Fix Suggestions== Suggestions are basically inconsistencies between the WikiTree database (where you find the profiles of individuals) and WikiTree Plus, a separate database. We correct these inaccuracies to make the tree more readable, more accurate and more informative. This team works off a Suggestion List ([[#The List|link below]]) that includes German profiles that have one or more Suggestion attached to them. The Suggestions include: *Errors - incorrect entries as the result of typos or imports of GEDCOM that need to be corrected; or *Hints - results of inconsistencies in linking to external databases, like Ancestry or others, caused by a typo, an incorrect link to the profile, or an issue that needs investigating; or *Warnings - produced by uncommon data due to a typo or unique information on profiles and must be reviewed. '''EACH SUGGESTION HAS ITS OWN HELP PAGE ON WIKITREE''' and many suggestions have video tutorials to guide you. You should refer to those help pages, videos and the Data Doctors Project page for guidance in working on database errors. ==How to Join== To join, post a comment below, or send an email to [[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]], and we'll get you signed up. ==How to Participate== ===Follow These Best Practices=== #Please work only on profiles in the timeframes you are comfortable with and qualified for (i.e., you are certified for pre-1700 or have a pre-1500 badge). # If you have questions, ask first before fixing. If you don't understand a suggestion, skip it. There are plenty of suggestions to work on at every level. #If you've never done data doctoring before, start with the easier ones. The "Easy" difficulty rating is defined as very basic format issues caused by typos, punctuation omissions, name or date errors (i.e.: brackets, typos, headings). See [[Space:Easy_Suggestions|Easy Suggestions]] for a list of these types of errors. #Although private/public profiles do appear on the Suggestion List, you cannot edit them, so skip those. ===Decide What You Want To Work On=== :The Suggestions List is separated into the following sections: *'''Suggestions''' *Unique Names *WikiData *FindAGrave *Profile Completeness :'''Suggestions (aka errors) are this Team's focus'''. Suggestions are separated into the following sub-sections (click the links below to see an explanation of each type of error, its difficulty rating and help page links): *[[Space:Date_Suggestions_Group-1|Date]] *[[Space:Relationship_Suggestions|Relationship]] *[[Space:Name_Suggestions|Name]] *[[Space:Gender_Suggestions|Gender]] *[[Space:Location_Suggestions|Location]] *[[Space:Privacy_Suggestions|Privacy]] (NOTE: project leaders will need to clear PPP and most project box/project account errors) *[[Space:Biography_Suggestions|Biography]] *[[Space:Template_Suggestions|Template]] *[[Space:References_and_Ref_Tag_Suggestons|References and Ref Tag]] *Links (see [[Space:DBE_961|DBE 961]], [[Space:DBE_962|DBE 962]], [[Space:DBE_965|DBE 965]], [[Space:DBE_966|DBE 966]], and [[Space:DBE_967|DBE 967]]) :'''PLEASE DO NOT FIX THE FOLLOWING''', even though they are on the Suggestions List: *Category Suggestions (project leaders and/or the Categorization project takes care of these) *DNA Suggestions (the DNA project works on these) ===Fix Suggestions=== #Click on the link to the Suggestions List below and the table will open (you may want to open in in a new tab or window). #In the Suggestions table, click on the link (number) that corresponds to the DBE/year range you want to work on, or simply click on the link (number) in the "Open" column to give you a list of ALL open profiles with that particular error. #A new page will open, at the top the page will read: ''Warnings in WikiTree: Error [#] [error name] [green "?" icon: links to Help page for that error] [red "play" icon: click to watch video, if available] (Difficulty: Easy, Intermediate or Advanced)'' #In the first column, click on the link to the profile you want to fix. #The profile page opens in an new tab... fix errors. #MAKE SURE TO EXPLAIN YOUR CHANGES before saving.

WikiTree's preferred style for location names is to use the name that was used by the people in that place, at the time of the event you're recording. This means using place names in German and using the names that people at the time used, even if those places no longer exist. This standard is often difficult or even impossible to apply, but it is an ideal that members from all over the world can agree upon. Consequently, ''the guidelines below are merely suggestions to help members research the proper location name for the place their ancestors lived.'' Ideally, we would like to see the German place name used in the location field. For example, when recording the birthplace of someone born in Bavaria, Germany in the 1830s, you would use "Bayern, Deutscher Bund" rather than the English "Bavaria, Germany" or the present day "Bayern, Deutschland". German place names are particularly difficult to chronicle, as evidenced in this short video: ''[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1i1e6h?fbclid=IwAR27L1W1B_Uf9UAImI40SLHPy4mahKX02FjXicIvVnujH4Yw6TagSaV9xaU 1000 Years of European Border Changes]''. =='''THE BASICS'''== :'''MOST IMPORTANTLY: AN ESTIMATED LOCATION IS BETTER THAN NO LOCATION AT ALL'''.

If the Town and Municipality (Ort and Gemeinde) are the same, only list it ONCE.''' ::2b. Please do not add State/Province/Kingdom/Federal additions to location fields, i.e.: ::*rather than: Provinz Ostpreußen, Königreich Preußen, Deutsches Reich (Province of East Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire)
--> use Ostpreußen, Preußen, Deutsches Reich (East Prussia, Prussia, German Empire) ::*rather than: Land Schleswig-Holstein, Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Land Schleswig-Holstein, Federal Republic of Germany)
--> use Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland ::2c. If you're adding other municipal/administrative additions, i.e. Gemeinde and Kreis, please add "Gemeinde XYZ", "Kreis XYZ" to the location field. ===WikiTree Guidelines=== :If in doubt, collaborate. Post a comment on the profile, ask in the Germany Google Group and/or post to G2G (tagged with Germany and location_fields). Leave detailed research notes if you've spent time researching the location but are still unsure. :Please remember the following: *Information in any data field should be supported in the profile's text (with a source, if available) *Use capitalization as appropriate (i.e.: McClellan instead of Mcclellan) *It is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in a data field *NO punctuation other than commas should be used in location fields *Again: as a general rule, entering almost any location and marking it uncertain is better than entering no location at all ===German Orthography=== :The German alphabet consists of the twenty-six letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus four special letters. Whenever possible, try to use following special letters in location fields. The ALT + number codes you can use for each are as follows: ::ß or ALT 225 ::ä or ALT 132 ::Ä ot ALT 0196 ::ö or ALT 148 ::Ö or ALT 0214 ::ü or ALT 129 ::Ü or ALT 0220 ==The Details: The Country now known as Germany== Rather than adding Germany (or, more appropriately, Deutschland) to a location field, please use the country name that was appropriate during that time.

The STATE name''' ::*NOTE: before 1919 there were kingdoms, grand duchies, duchies, principalities, etc. '''If you don't know or are unsure''' of the State/Kingdom/Duchy, please '''add to the text in the Biography section''' whatever details you have about the location name. ::*NOTE: from 1866-1918, much of the German Empire was a part of the Kingdom of Prussia, so you'd add ''Preußen'' - i.e., Preußen, Deutsches Reich. ::*NOTE: TODAY the 16 German States/Regions are: Baden-Württemberg; Bayern; Berlin (city state); Brandenburg; Bremen (city state); Hamburg (city state); Hessen; Mecklenburg-Vorpommern; Niedersachsen; Nordrhein-Westfalen; Rheinland-Pfalz; Saarland; Sachsen; Sachsen-Anhalt; Schleswig-Holstein and Thüringen. For more information see the main [[Space:Germany_Regions_Team|Germany Regions Team]] page. ::'''3. City/Town/Municipality name, if available'''. :'''{{red|TIP}}''': If you select [[Help:Language_Selection|Language]]: "German" in the data fields (between Suffix and Birth Date), the automated FamilySearch [[Help:Location_Fields#Place_Name_Suggestions|place name suggestions]] will appear in German, if not, they default to your browser's language. :'''{{red|TIP}}''': You might want to check out the bookmarklet [https://github.com/FlominatorTM/WikiTree/tree/master/Bookmarklets#germanylocationcleanupjs GermanyLocationCleanup.js] by [[Straub-620|Florian Straub]]. It automatically changes Germany/Deutschland to the right name based on the year stated in the location fields. It also cleans up the suggestions in the drop-down fields to better match our guidelines. The page also explains what bookmarklets are and how it can be installed. ===Germany-Specific Guidelines=== :'''1. If you have all the location info, the format should be as follows''' (''this should also be the format for location field names prior to the 18th century''): :*English: Town/Village, State, Country :*German: Ort, Bundesland, Deutschland :*prior to 1806: Town, State, Heiliges Römisches Reich :'''2. OPTIONAL (after 1806): :*English: Town/Village, '''Municipality, County''', State, Country :*German: Ort, '''Gemeinde, Kreis''', Bundesland, Deutschland ::2a. If the Town and Municipality (Ort and Gemeinde) are the same, only list it ONCE.''' ::2b. Please do not add State/Province/Kingdom/Federal additions to location fields, i.e.: ::*rather than: Provinz Ostpreußen, Königreich Preußen, Deutsches Reich (Province of East Prussia, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire)
--> use Ostpreußen, Preußen, Deutsches Reich (East Prussia, Prussia, German Empire) ::*rather than: Land Schleswig-Holstein, Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Land Schleswig-Holstein, Federal Republic of Germany)
--> use Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland ::2c. If you're adding other municipal/administrative additions, i.e. Gemeinde and Kreis, please add "Gemeinde XYZ", "Kreis XYZ" to the location field. ===WikiTree Guidelines=== :If in doubt, collaborate. Post a comment on the profile, ask in the Germany Google Group and/or post to G2G (tagged with Germany and location_fields). Leave detailed research notes if you've spent time researching the location but are still unsure. :Please remember the following: *Information in any data field should be supported in the profile's text (with a source, if available) *Use capitalization as appropriate (i.e.: McClellan instead of Mcclellan) *It is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in a data field *NO punctuation other than commas should be used in location fields *Again: as a general rule, entering almost any location and marking it uncertain is better than entering no location at all ===German Orthography=== :The German alphabet consists of the twenty-six letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus four special letters. Whenever possible, try to use following special letters in location fields. The ALT + number codes you can use for each are as follows: ::ß or ALT 225 ::ä or ALT 132 ::Ä ot ALT 0196 ::ö or ALT 148 ::Ö or ALT 0214 ::ü or ALT 129 ::Ü or ALT 0220 ==The Details: The Country now known as Germany== Rather than adding Germany (or, more appropriately, Deutschland) to a location field, please use the country name that was appropriate during that time.

'''Germany Project Managed Profiles Team'''
==What We Do: Improve Profiles and Write Biographies== This team is dedicated to updating and improving the profiles managed by the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]]. To understand which profiles are chosen to be project-managed, see [[Space:Germany_-_Project_Managed_Profiles|this page]]. Many of the project's managed profiles are considered to be WikiTree '''5-Star profiles''', having been viewed over 1,000 times in the past year. 5-Star profiles have an outsized influence on how we are perceived by non-members, and on how high all WikiTree profiles rank in Google searches. For more explanation of 5-star profiles, see Chris Whitten's post [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/905133/will-you-help-us-improve-the-most-visited-profiles HERE]. This team focuses on improving German biographies using the project's [[Space:Germany_Project_-_Profile_Improvement_Checklist|Profile Improvement Checklist]] to develop the profiles. The result is attractive, useful, and well-written biographies. ''It is advised that members of this team also join WikiTree's [[Project:Profile_Improvement|Profile Improvement Project]] and complete that project's [[Space:Profile_Improvements_Voyage|PIP Voyage]] before joining this team. Past participation in [[Space:Biography_Builders|Biography Builders]] challenges is a plus.'' '''See the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bllkEQMkBeFpFQYWd9fvrwpOrXg0xSMBmhrfyY1JL7Q/edit?usp=sharing managed profiles spreadsheet]''' to view the list of profiles we manage. The profiles are sorted chronologically by date of birth (earliest first) and the rows that are highlighted in green are our 5-Star profiles. If you'd like to suggest a profile for project management, click [[Space:Germany_-_Project_Managed_Profiles#Suggest_a_Profile_for_the_Germany_Project_to_Manage|HERE]] for instructions. Also see the Germany Project's [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:WatchedList&p=17371931 Watchlist] for another way to view project-managed profiles. ==Member Requirements== We would prefer that new members have completed the [[Space:Profile_Improvements_Voyage|PIP Voyage]] OR have experience as a [[Space:Biography_Builders|Biography Builder]] before joining this team - however, we're willing to work with anyone! Members of this Team must: *be a badged member of the Germany Project *be pre-1700 self-certified (pre-1500 certification is required to edit pre-1500 profiles) *have the ability to research using German records (that are available to you ... no need to subscribe to pay sites to join this team) *have experience writing biographies. ==How to Join== To join, post a comment below or email a project leader. == How to Participate== ===Develop Profiles and Biographies=== :1. Choose your profile from our list of project-managed profiles '''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bllkEQMkBeFpFQYWd9fvrwpOrXg0xSMBmhrfyY1JL7Q/edit?usp=sharing HERE]'''. :2. Add a comment to the profile, i.e.: "I will be updating this profile on behalf of the Germany Project" and we'll add your name and date to the spreadsheet. :3. Improve the profile and expand the biography. Below is the '''minimum''' needed, in order of priority. See our '''[[Space:Germany_Project_-_Profile_Improvement_Checklist|Profile Improvement Checklist]]''' for detailed instruction and helpful links: :#Verify that the correct parents, spouse and children are attached. Make sure there is a source attached for that information. :#Check dates and places: the dates in the biography should match those in the data fields and should have a source. :#Ensure there is at least one reliable source attached and that any existing sources are accurate and formatted properly. ''Remember, online trees are not considered reliable sources''. :#Check any links in the profile to verify they still work. :#Check if the profile has any suggestions. :#Check for possible duplicates. :#Remove links to unsourced online trees and any "GEDCOM junk" :#Write a full biography with a variety of reliable sources, cited inline :4. When you're finished, add another comment to the profile, stating that your work is complete. We will then mark that profile as complete on the spreadsheet. :5. For pre-1700 profiles, we would really appreciate your using the Project's '''[[Space:Germany_Project_-_Profile_Improvement_Checklist|Profile Improvement Checklist]]''' to develop the profile and expand the biography. However, whatever help you can offer is appreciated! ===Connect and Source === :You can also help improve Project-managed profiles by connecting the unconnected and sourcing the unsourced: *Unconnected Germany Project-managed profiles are listed '''[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=WikiTree-53+unconnected&MaxProfiles=500&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 HERE]''' (click the blue "get profiles" box in the left column). See our [[Space:Germany_Project_Connectors_Team|Connectors Team page]] for info on connecting profiles on WikiTree. *Unsourced Germany Project-managed profiles are found in a list '''[https://plus.wikitree.com/default.htm?report=srch1&Query=WikiTree-53+unsourced&MaxProfiles=500&SortOrder=BiDa&PageSize=500 HERE]''' (click the blue "get profiles" box in the left column). See our [[Space:Germany_Project_Sourcerers_Team|Sourcerers Team page]] for information on adding sources to unsourced profiles. NOTE: most of the project-managed unsourced profiles are people who were born before 1500, so you will need to be pre-1500 certified to work on them. ===LIST OF MANAGED PROFILES=== :'''[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bllkEQMkBeFpFQYWd9fvrwpOrXg0xSMBmhrfyY1JL7Q/edit?usp=sharing GERMANY PROJECT MANAGED PROFILES SPREADSHEET]''' ==Profile Improvement Checklist== See our '''[[Space:Germany_Project_-_Profile_Improvement_Checklist|Profile Improvement Checklist]]''' for step-by-step guidelines to make our profiles the best they can be. ==Team Members== Team Leader: [[Kiedaisch-1|Friedemann Kiedaisch]] Team Members: *[[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]] *[[Snook-1459|Laurie Hughes]] *[[Retz-Schmidt-1|Gudula Suskin]] *[[Clawson-1056|Terri Swift]] *[[Thiessen-117|Traci Thiessen]] ---- This is an active [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] page with up-to-date information.

German Profiles on WikiTree Day 2023|playlist=WikiTreeDay2023}}}} __TOC__ ==Germany Project Name Field Guidelines== WikiTree guidelines say "use their convention, not ours". We aim to use the names that people themselves would have used and that would have been recognized in their own time and place. '''If in doubt, collaborate: post a comment on the profile, consult in the Germany Project Google Group, or post to G2G''' (tagged with Germany, the name or names of the profiles involved, and the question topic, i.e.: LNAB or Prefix). WikiTree Help pages for each field are linked in each section below. Please remember the following: *Information in any datafield should be supported in the profile's text (with a source, if available) *Use capitalization as appropriate (i.e.: McClellan instead of Mcclellan) *It is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in a datafield *NO punctuation should be used in name fields except Other Nicknames and Other Last Names, where commas can be used as separators *Use umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and ß where these are appear in the original record, especially in the LNAB field (see below). *Enter names in the language used by the person. Do not enter the Latin forms of names in data fields. eg The orginal record may show Henrici (the Latin form for Heinrich). Enter Heinrich in the data fields, not Henrici etc. ===German Orthography=== :The German alphabet consists of the twenty-six letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus four special letters. Whenever possible, try to use following special letters in the name fields. If you don't have a German keyboard layout, you can insert them by entering a number code with the number pad on the right side of your keyboard while having the ALT key pressed. Of course you can also just copy and paste the characters from here. :The codes are as follows: ::ß or ALT+225 ::ä or ALT+132 ::Ä or ALT+0196 ::ö or ALT+148 ::Ö or ALT+0214 ::ü or ALT+129 ::Ü or ALT+0220 :There are also some characters in old German documents like church books, that should not be entered in data fields: * y at the end of a name is a short hand form for "us", e.g. "Christiany" means Christianus. However, latinised forms should not be entered in data fields. Therefore, you would enter "Christian" in the data field, NOT "Christiany" or "Christianus". * ŭ (the letter u with a curved line above) represents the letter u in Kurrent and was used to distinguish the letter u from similar looking letters. Note: This loop, sometimes called U-Bogen in German, may appear either directly above the u or above the next letter to the right. If the record shows "ŭ", you should enter "u" in the data fields. NOTE: The u-loop is sometimes confused with an umlaut (ü) although the umlaut is usually straighter and more jagged. You should use the umlaut "ü" in data fields if it is used in the source. * m̅, n̅ are shorthand notations for double "mm" and "nn" respectively. The "m" or "n" are written only once with a straight line drawn above the letter. If the record shows "m̅", you should enter "mm" in the data fields; if the record shows "n̅", you should enter "nn" in the data fields. ([[Wikipedia:de:Nasalstrich]]) ===Prefix=== :'''In Germany, titles for professions and military ranks are generally not used'''. [[Help:Name_Fields#Prefix|Prefixes]] are limited to 10 characters. If a prefix is used frequently in public records, use the prefix field for such titles as Dr. med., Dr. phil., Dr. rer. nat., Prof., etc. According to the norm [[wikipedia:DIN 5008|DIN 5008]], those are written with period. It can also be used for religious titles such as Kardinal. Although the prefix field is appropriate for modern titles, it is not used with aristocratic titles. '''Do not use this field for titles of nobility'''. Titles such as Graf/Count, Herzog/Duke, Prinz or Fürst/Prince, etc. belong in the [[#Other Nicknames|Other Nicknames]] field. ===Proper First Name=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Proper_First_Name|Proper First Name]] field could also be called Formal Name, Given Name or Name at Birth. This is the formal given name(s) that would appear in official documents at birth in the person's native language. If the name is not known, use Unknown (not NN, Unk, UNKNOWN, wife of X, possibly Y, etc.) and mark the radio button uncertain. :All given names should be entered in the Proper First Name field in the order listed on the birth document. '''It is common in Germany for a person to have multiple given names''' - the German culture does not have the concept of middle names. All given names are considered equal and it is up to the individual which one to use as preferred name. If the person has more than one first name, the first name by which the person is mainly addressed, often called the "call name", belongs in the [[#Preferred First Name|Preferred First Name]] field, see below. :First names, especially pre-1500, are found spelled in a variety of ways and standard genealogical and historical works often use a modern and easily recognizable form. Seek advice if you are uncertain what is best. ::''Example'': the names Margarethe, Margret and Greta are found in different documents with alternate spellings throughout a particular woman's life, but everyone called her "Mags". The name "Margarethe" is used on her birth record. You would add Margarethe to the Proper First Name field. Margret, Greta and Mags, and the various spellings of those names, do not belong in this field. NOTE: if one of those variations was her "call name", it would be entered in the Preferred Name field, see below. :If the first name is documented with different spelling variations, choose the most often found (sourced) spelling option for the Proper First Name field. '''Alternate spellings of a name should only be included in the text of the profile's biography''', i.e.: Margarethe is also found as Margaretha, Margareetha, Margaret, Margretta, etc. - those alternate spellings should not be in the name fields, but can/should be added to the biography. :Roman Catholic church books often use Latin forms of first names. However, the Latinised names were only used in written records. Enter the name in the form used by the person, in their native language. For example, you might enter Heinrich for Henrici, Georg for Georgius, Lorenz for Laurentius etc. It might be useful, however, to include the Latin form in the biography section. :Please resolve abbreviations, like Joes or Jois for Johann (mostly), Johannes or Joannes (and be aware that Hans might have been used as synonym for this name) as well. :For information in German first name development in specific eras, over time, see: [[Space:German_Names#German_first_names|German First Names]]. ===Preferred First Name=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Preferred_First_Name|Preferred First Name]] is the name used in everyday life. '''This would also be the name they were known by at their death'''. This field could also be called Informal First Name, Call Name, Display Name, Colloquial Name, Current First Name or First Name at Death. This may also be the linguistic adaptation of their first name upon emigration. :For someone with multiple first names, it can be difficult to establish which was the preferred name/s. Sometimes, the preferred name is not one of the given names at birth, particularly when people emigrated. :Many German genealogies and some family histories have used things like underlining, all caps, or bold fonts to denote the preferred or commonly used names: we would add those names to the "Preferred Name" field. ::''Example'': Using the example above, Margarethe/Margret/Greta/Mags's birth record calls her Margarethe. She was called Greta in childhood and early adulthood, and used Margret for the remainder of her life. Her friends and family called her Mags. Margret is the first name that appears on her death record. Margarethe would be used in the Proper First Name field and Margret would be added to the Preferred Name field. :NOTE: Unless the person chose to use it as their preferred name, a Catholic confirmation name can be addressed in the biography field. :If you're unsure of the Preferred First Name, use the Proper First Name. ===Middle Name=== :'''[[Help:Name_Fields#Middle_Name|Middle Names]] are not commonly used in Germany; most often you will use multiple first names'''. If there is no middle name, select the "No middle name" radio button. :Currently the only legal middle names in Germany are the patronymics of the Frisian minority. Example: Hinrich Peters Müller means "Hinrich Müller, Peter's son." These names are often included in the Proper First Name field as they would most commonly appear on a birth or baptismal record. :'''{{red|TIP}}''': If you enter two names in a First Name field, e.g. "Maria Elizabetha", you will see a warning that asks if one is a middle name. There is a [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Settings#Misc setting] that enables you to suppress this warning if you work in a culture that does not ordinarily use middle names. ===Other Nicknames=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Other_Nicknames|Other Nicknames]] field could also be called Other First Names, Also Known As or Aliases. This and the "Other Last Names" field are the only ones that can include multiple names, which should be separated with commas. '''Do NOT include quotation marks''' in this field. ::''Example'': Using the example above, Margarethe/Margret/Greta/Mags's birth record calls her Margarethe, she was called Greta in childhood and early adulthood in school records, her family and friends called her Mags, and the first name Margret appears on her death record. Margarethe would be used in the Proper First Name field, Margret would be added to the Preferred Name field, and Greta, Mags would be added to the Other Nicknames field. ::''Example 2'': Proper First Name: Manfred Albrecht, Preferred Name: Manfred, Other Nicknames: The Red Baron. :Name variants (e.g., linguistic adaptation of name upon emigration) may be entered in the Other Nicknames field if the person did NOT use the variant as their preferred name. However, '''this field should not be used for different spellings of a first name - those should be highlighted in the text of the biography'''. :Generally, the Germany Project does not include job titles in name fields. Include job titles/offices held in the biography text only. :Lands held/residences should also be noted in the biography and do NOT belong in the Other Nicknames field. Someone should not be described as being "of such-and-such a place" in the Other Nicknames field. This information belongs in the biography. There are certain exceptions, but those usually occur in early medieval profiles. :The Other Nicknames field is most commonly used for '''Titles of Nobility''' and represent what people were called during their lifetime. Titles should also be set out in the text of the biography. If in doubt, ask in a profile comment or on G2G (with the tag Germany). For more information, see: [[Space:Germany_Project_Name_Field_Guidelines_(Nobility_and_Medieval)|Germany Project Name Field Guidelines (Nobility and Medieval)]]. ===Last Name at Birth=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Last_Name_at_Birth|Last Name at Birth]] (LNAB) is the last name a person was born with, in their native language. Again, WikiTree's guideline is to "use their convention, not ours". This is not always easy to determine, especially when contemporary, original sources are not available or are inconsistent. '''Please do NOT create new profiles until you are certain the LNAB is correct and always search for alternate spellings and possible duplicates before creating a new German profile'''. Always remember to add umlats (ä, ö, ü) and ß where appropriate, especially in this field, as only profile managers can edit LNABs. :The LNAB is significant on WikiTree as it is used to create the WikiTree ID and the URL for the profile. When a LNAB is changed, in the background WikiTree creates a new profile and merges the existing profile into it. A LNAB should never be changed unless you have a high degree of confidence that the name you're changing it to is correct. If you are uncertain whether the current LNAB is correct (e.g. you think that "Schmidt" is probably wrong but you don't know what it should be), explain your uncertainty (noted in the profile's biography text, as a research note, or in a profile comment) and leave the LNAB as-is. If the last LNAB is unknown, add "Unknown" - not the region where they lived, or son of XYZ, or their title, etc. :In medieval times, when LNABs were not commonly used, refer to the guidance on [[Space:Germany_Project_Name_Field_Guidelines_(Nobility_and_Medieval)|Germany Project Name Field Guidelines (Nobility and Medieval)]]. :From the 12th century, the use of a fixed family name became common in West and South German cities. By the beginning of the 15th century, family names were found almost everywhere in the German-speaking world. However, in some rural areas of Germany, last names were not used until the 19th century, when they were introduced by law. Be aware that last name spellings for many families were not firmly established until the mid-1800s, and that people may have their name spelled in several different ways in different records and sources. '''Add the variants in the Other Last Names field'''. :Note re: inflection of German surnames. Sometimes people will see a surname with an additional ending of -in, -(e)n, or–(e)s. These are not necessarily part of the surname but merely indicate case or gender. And it’s not always easy to tell, even for those familiar with the language, because sometimes what appears to be an inflection is (or becomes) a permanent part of the name. Example: The daughter of Johann Müller would likely be recorded as Barbara Müllerin or as Barbara, des Johann Müllers Tochter (Johann Müller’s daughter) or Tochter des Johann Müllers (daughter of Johann Müller). The LNAB of both father and daughter is Müller. :Special care must be exercised to ensure surnames that use a particle, prefix, or preposition, such as Le, La, De, Du, Van, Van Der, Den, Ten, Zum, etc. correctly reflect the spacing used in the individual's name when they were alive. Example: "van den Berg" as compared with "Vandenberg". As with any other change of name, in the generation(s) where the rendering of the name changes, the version used at birth should be entered as the Last Name at Birth (LNAB), and the version used later should be reflected as the Current Last Name or in the Other Last Names field as appropriate. :See [[Space:German_Names#German_family_names|German Family Names]] for detailed information on the development of last names in Germany and how they were derived. See [[Space:Proper_Spelling_of_LNABs|this page]] for a list of proper spellings to use for certain German "house" names. ===Current Last Name=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Current_Last_Name|Current Last Name]] is the name the person was using at the time of their death per WikiTree guidelines. This field could be called Preferred Last Name, Last Name at Death or Married Name. ''NOTE: It is not uncommon in Germany for a man to take his wife's last name''. :We often reflexively use a husband's family name for women after their marriage, and in most situations that may be correct, however you should ensure there is documentary proof of this. A person's married last name belongs in this field ONLY if they chose to change their name at marriage. Add the married name in the Current Last Name field if you are ''sure'' it is the name the person used in everyday life. Otherwise add the married name in the Other Last Names field. If the person married multiple times and was using the last spouse's surname at the time of death, that name is their Current Last Name, even if the person might be better known with another surname. :It should also be noted that, in older times, people in the villages were known by their profession or by the name of the farm they worked. The oldest son often took over his father's farm and there was no issue with the family name. But younger sons often married a daughter of a farmer without male heir and took over that farm - and the name that went along with it. If they did well they might have bought a bigger farm and took that name. Family names could change three or four times that way. '''The name the person used at death should appear in this field and the other last names used would appear in "Other Last Names"''', see below. ===Other Last Names=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Other_Last_Names|Other Last Names]] field could be called Alternate Last Names or Last Name Variations. These are different than LNAB or Current Last Name. :This field could be used for alternative spellings that appear in the records or, if a person married more than once, you would add the last names of the spouse(s) here. Note that inclusion of variant spellings as Other Last Names is important for averting creation of new duplicate profiles. :This and the "Other Nicknames" field are the ones that can include multiple names. Separate these with commas. ===Suffix=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Suffix|Suffix]] field is limited to ten characters. The Suffix will appear in every name display on WikiTree, even when a Prefix, Middle Name, or Current Last Name do not appear. Therefore, it is generally reserved for suffixes that are '''an essential part of the person's name''': i.e., suffixes that were documented in vital records and/or were commonly used by that person during their lifetime. :If the person had multiple suffixes, it should generally only be the most important one for identification purposes. Others should be described in the biography. '''If a Prefix could substitute for a Suffix, that is recommended'''. :Suffixes such as "der Jüngere, "der Mittlere", "Ältere", "I", "II", or similar, may be entered in the "Suffix" field '''only if the suffix is supported by a reliable source'''. As there is a 10 character limit, the suffix may not fit in this field. If this happens, make sure to include the suffix in the biography and/or you can add it to the "Other Nicknames" field (again, ONLY if it is an ''essential'' part of the person's name). Alternatively, abbreviations such as d.J. or d.Ä are permitted in this field. :The suffix MD is not used for doctors in Germany. Use the appropriate prefix instead. :DO NOT use Jr., Sr. or I, II, III etc., if added by genealogists for convenience. As the WikiTree guidelines say: "It should never be a suffix acquired after death or a suffix the person themselves would not have used." ==Resources== * [[Space:German_Names|German Names]] / [[Space:Deutsche_Vor-_und_Familiennamen|Deutsche Vor- und Familiennamen]] *[[wikipedia:German_name|Wikipedia: German Names]] -----

German Profiles on WikiTree Day 2023|playlist=WikiTreeDay2023}}}} __TOC__ ==Germany Project Name Field Guidelines== WikiTree guidelines say "use their convention, not ours". We aim to use the names that people themselves would have used and that would have been recognized in their own time and place. '''If in doubt, collaborate: post a comment on the profile, consult in the Germany Project Google Group, or post to G2G''' (tagged with Germany, the name or names of the profiles involved, and the question topic, i.e.: LNAB or Prefix). WikiTree Help pages for each field are linked in each section below. Please remember the following: *Information in any datafield should be supported in the profile's text (with a source, if available) *Use capitalization as appropriate (i.e.: McClellan instead of Mcclellan) *It is never appropriate to use ALL CAPS in a datafield *NO punctuation should be used in name fields except Other Nicknames and Other Last Names, where commas can be used as separators *Use umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and ß where these are appear in the original record, especially in the LNAB field (see below). *Enter names in the language used by the person. Do not enter the Latin forms of names in data fields. eg The orginal record may show Henrici (the Latin form for Heinrich). Enter Heinrich in the data fields, not Henrici etc. ===German Orthography=== :The German alphabet consists of the twenty-six letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet plus four special letters. Whenever possible, try to use following special letters in the name fields. If you don't have a German keyboard layout, you can insert them by entering a number code with the number pad on the right side of your keyboard while having the ALT key pressed. Of course you can also just copy and paste the characters from here. :The codes are as follows: ::ß or ALT+225 ::ä or ALT+132 ::Ä or ALT+0196 ::ö or ALT+148 ::Ö or ALT+0214 ::ü or ALT+129 ::Ü or ALT+0220 :There are also some characters in old German documents like church books, that should not be entered in data fields: * y at the end of a name is a short hand form for "us", e.g. "Christiany" means Christianus. However, latinised forms should not be entered in data fields. Therefore, you would enter "Christian" in the data field, NOT "Christiany" or "Christianus". * ŭ (the letter u with a curved line above) represents the letter u in Kurrent and was used to distinguish the letter u from similar looking letters. Note: This loop, sometimes called U-Bogen in German, may appear either directly above the u or above the next letter to the right. If the record shows "ŭ", you should enter "u" in the data fields. NOTE: The u-loop is sometimes confused with an umlaut (ü) although the umlaut is usually straighter and more jagged. You should use the umlaut "ü" in data fields if it is used in the source. * m̅, n̅ are shorthand notations for double "mm" and "nn" respectively. The "m" or "n" are written only once with a straight line drawn above the letter. If the record shows "m̅", you should enter "mm" in the data fields; if the record shows "n̅", you should enter "nn" in the data fields. ([[Wikipedia:de:Nasalstrich]]) ===Prefix=== :'''In Germany, titles for professions and military ranks are generally not used'''. [[Help:Name_Fields#Prefix|Prefixes]] are limited to 10 characters. If a prefix is used frequently in public records, use the prefix field for such titles as Dr. med., Dr. phil., Dr. rer. nat., Prof., etc. According to the norm [[wikipedia:DIN 5008|DIN 5008]], those are written with period. It can also be used for religious titles such as Kardinal. Although the prefix field is appropriate for modern titles, it is not used with aristocratic titles. '''Do not use this field for titles of nobility'''. Titles such as Graf/Count, Herzog/Duke, Prinz or Fürst/Prince, etc. belong in the [[#Other Nicknames|Other Nicknames]] field. ===Proper First Name=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Proper_First_Name|Proper First Name]] field could also be called Formal Name, Given Name or Name at Birth. This is the formal given name(s) that would appear in official documents at birth in the person's native language. If the name is not known, use Unknown (not NN, Unk, UNKNOWN, wife of X, possibly Y, etc.) and mark the radio button uncertain. :All given names should be entered in the Proper First Name field in the order listed on the birth document. '''It is common in Germany for a person to have multiple given names''' - the German culture does not have the concept of middle names. All given names are considered equal and it is up to the individual which one to use as preferred name. If the person has more than one first name, the first name by which the person is mainly addressed, often called the "call name", belongs in the [[#Preferred First Name|Preferred First Name]] field, see below. :First names, especially pre-1500, are found spelled in a variety of ways and standard genealogical and historical works often use a modern and easily recognizable form.

See [[Space:Proper_Spelling_of_LNABs|this page]] for a list of proper spellings to use for certain German "house" names. ===Current Last Name=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Current_Last_Name|Current Last Name]] is the name the person was using at the time of their death per WikiTree guidelines. This field could be called Preferred Last Name, Last Name at Death or Married Name. ''NOTE: It is not uncommon in Germany for a man to take his wife's last name''. :We often reflexively use a husband's family name for women after their marriage, and in most situations that may be correct, however you should ensure there is documentary proof of this.

Separate these with commas. ===Suffix=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Suffix|Suffix]] field is limited to ten characters. The Suffix will appear in every name display on WikiTree, even when a Prefix, Middle Name, or Current Last Name do not appear. Therefore, it is generally reserved for suffixes that are '''an essential part of the person's name''': i.e., suffixes that were documented in vital records and/or were commonly used by that person during their lifetime. :If the person had multiple suffixes, it should generally only be the most important one for identification purposes. Others should be described in the biography. '''If a Prefix could substitute for a Suffix, that is recommended'''. :Suffixes such as "der Jüngere, "der Mittlere", "Ältere", "I", "II", or similar, may be entered in the "Suffix" field '''only if the suffix is supported by a reliable source'''. As there is a 10 character limit, the suffix may not fit in this field. If this happens, make sure to include the suffix in the biography and/or you can add it to the "Other Nicknames" field (again, ONLY if it is an ''essential'' part of the person's name). Alternatively, abbreviations such as d.J. or d.Ä are permitted in this field. :The suffix MD is not used for doctors in Germany. Use the appropriate prefix instead. :DO NOT use Jr., Sr. or I, II, III etc., if added by genealogists for convenience. As the WikiTree guidelines say: "It should never be a suffix acquired after death or a suffix the person themselves would not have used." ==Resources== * [[Space:German_Names|German Names]] / [[Space:Deutsche_Vor-_und_Familiennamen|Deutsche Vor- und Familiennamen]] *[[wikipedia:German_name|Wikipedia: German Names]] -----

------ ==Name Field Guidelines== ===Prefix=== :Although the prefix field is appropriate for modern titles, it is not used with aristocratic titles. '''Do not use this field for titles of nobility'''. Titles should go into the [[#Other Nicknames|Other Nicknames]] field. ===Proper First Name=== :Required field ===Preferred First Name=== :Usually same as Proper first name ===Middle Name=== :Never used ===Other Nicknames=== :Lands held/residences should be noted in the biography and do not belong in the Other Nicknames field. Descriptors such as "of such-and-such a place" do NOT usually belong here, but there are certain exceptions that should be discussed in the profile comments or on G2G. :The Other Nicknames field is commonly used for '''Titles of Nobility''' that represent what people were called during their lifetime. Titles should also be set out in the text of the biography. If in doubt, ask in a profile comment or on G2G (with the tag Germany). :SEE: ::[[Help:Name_Fields_for_European_Aristocrats|Help: Name Fields for European Aristocrats]] ::[[Space:German_Names#Names_of_Nobles|Names of Nobles]] ::[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_nobility Wikipedia: German Nobility] ::[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_nobility#Titles_and_ranks Wikipedia German Nobility: Titles and Ranks] ===Last Name at Birth=== :The [[Help:Name_Fields#Last_Name_at_Birth|Last Name at Birth]] (LNAB) is the last name a person was born with, in their native language. For the Middle Ages we have two issues, one for noble families, one for commoners. :'''Nobles''': In the Early Middle Ages people outside Rome went by one name only. We identify those people by house names: Carolingians, Ottonen, Agilolfinger etc. Women marrying into these families did not necessarily become members of these lineages. In fact, since marriages at that time among nobility were eminently political it made more sense to highlight the woman's family connections since they were supposed to enhance one's own standing and let everybody else know what support one could fall back on. Even in death that did often not change, numerous epitaphs for women buried next to their husbands still list their family name. Somebody marrying into the Carolingians, therefore, should not become a Carolingian but retain her own house name. See [[Space:Proper_Spelling_of_LNABs|this page]] for a list of proper spellings to use for certain German "house" names. In later times, after 1200, people started to more or less consistently use a family name. :'''Commoners''': About the 16th century, when early church books, land registries and seigniorial registers start, many people went by only one name and were further identified in various records by their profession, parentage or origin. ''What LNAB should we use for somebody whose only documented name in the village of ABC is Hans der Schmied aus XYZ?'' This is a question that should be asked on G2G '''before''' creating the profile. :Also, before about 1600, the common "von" or "der" before a surname does NOT go in the LNAB field; it belongs with the surname in the Current Last Name field while the surname, ONE word, goes in the LNAB. ::Example: Last name at birth: "Hindenburg", Current Last Name: "von Hindenburg". ===Current Last Name=== :Usually this will be the same as LNAB. Women will often be known by their own house name (see above). Documentary proof that women went by their husband's name should always be included, as it was not the norm for a woman to change her name at marriage. Also see guidance [[Space:Germany_Project_Name_Field_Guidelines#Current Last Name|HERE]]. ===Other Last Names=== :Variations on spelling of LNAB go here as well as any other names the person was known by. ===Suffix=== :This field is generally not used. ==Resources== *Detailed History of German Names: [[Space:German_Names|Eng.]] and [[Space:Deutsche_Vor-_und_Familiennamen|Deu.]]

They recorded baptism, marriage and burial details, with the majority of people living in German/Prussian regions. Churches were responsible for keeping their own records, so knowing the religion of whom you are researching is helpful. The most common religions were Catholics and Protestants. Protestant and Catholic church records started in the 1500's. However, most of the existing church records do not begin before the end of the 30-year war. You will need to know the parish(es) your relative lived in to be able to start searching for records. *[https://data.matricula-online.eu/en/deutschland/ Matricula] is an interdenominational and international platform that provides free access to church records, including the Catholic church *[https://www.archion.de/ Archion.de] (pay site): Since 2015 this Evangelical cooperative archive website has provided an increasing number of Protestant church record images from many parts of the former German Empire. *[https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch.org: Catalog], by place name - the starting place to find free viewable microfilms of parish registers (unfortunately, many of these records are not yet indexed) ====Databases==== *OSB and OFB: Ortssippenbücher "OSB" (lists of families within a particular parish and are generally compilations of church records made by pastors) and Ortsfamilienbuch "OFB" (online local family and heritage books) are great sources for German genealogy and are considered to be reliable sources for pre-1700 German genealogy. However, many of these records are '''not''' available online. See: [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Germany_Town_Genealogies_and_Parish_Register_Inventories_on_the_Internet Germany Town Genealogies] for more info on these sources.

They recorded baptism, marriage and burial details, with the majority of people living in German/Prussian regions. Churches were responsible for keeping their own records, so knowing the religion of whom you are researching is helpful. The most common religions were Catholics and Protestants. Protestant and Catholic church records started in the 1500's. However, most of the existing church records do not begin before the end of the 30-year war.

==What We Do: Add Sources to German Profiles== Sources are critically important for genealogy. Some even say that ''genealogy without sources is mythology''. Our Sourcerers team adds reliable sources to unsourced German profiles and our goal is to have a valid and reliable source on every German profile. This team works off lists ([[#The Lists|links below]]) which include unsourced profiles of people who were born or died in Germany. For information on adding sources to profiles, see the following: *[[Help:Sources]] *[[Help:Sources_FAQ]] *[[Template:Unsourced]] *[[Space:German_Roots_Project_Resources|German Roots Project Resources]] *[[Help:Pre-1700_Profiles]] *[[Space:Pre-1500_Resource_Page]] *[[Project:Sourcerers]] ==How to Join== To join, post a comment below, or send an email to [[Eckstädt-2|Jelena Eckstädt]], and we'll get you signed up. ==How to Participate== #Click on the link to one of the unsourced profiles lists below. The link will take you to a WikiTree+ search page. #The page is sorted by date, however you can edit the search parameters to sort by name (first or last), birth or death location, and date of death. #Click on "Get Profiles" in the blue box in the left column and you'll get a list of unsourced profiles. #Choose a profile and do the research to find a reliable source. #Add that source to the biography section under the Sources heading or embed it inline in the biography.

You must be a project member to join these teams. ===Functional=== *[[Space:Germany_Project_Translation_Team|Germany Project Translation Team]] - translators dedicated to helping translate WikiTree Help pages into German and also offering translation assistance to other WikiTreers. See a list of the translated WikiTree Help pages [[:Category: WikiTree-Hilfe|HERE]]. *[[Space:Germany_Profile_Improvers_Team|Germany Profile Improvement Teams]] - If you like to connect profiles to the global tree, add sources, fix database errors, or research/complete merges, this is the team for you! This team includes four subteams: [[Space:Germany_Project_Connectors_Team|Connectors]], [[Space:Germany_Project_Sourcerers_Team|Sourcerers]], [[Space:Germany_Project_Data_Doctors_Team|Data Doctors]], and [[Space:Germany_Project_Arborists_Team|Arborists]]. This team also includes a Challenges Team that participates in quarterly "thons": the [[Space:Germany_Genies|Germany Genies]]. *[[Space:Germany_Project_Managed_Profiles_Team|Managed Profiles Team]]: For those of you who enjoy building biographies, our Managed Profiles Team works on project-managed and 5-Star profiles (those with over 1000 views) and includes profiles of medieval, noble/aristocratic, and notable Germans. See the list of our project-managed profiles [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bllkEQMkBeFpFQYWd9fvrwpOrXg0xSMBmhrfyY1JL7Q/edit#gid=0 HERE].

Although they are locally located in today's Russia/Ukraine, they have little to do with Russia. Most of the sources are written in German and a large part of them returned to the former German Reich already in 1940. Many then came to Germany after 1945 as late repatriates, so that their stay in Russia/the former Soviet Union was only temporary. See [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russlanddeutsche Wikipedia.de] for more info. Germans of Russia sub-teams include: ::*[[Space:Volga_German_Team|Volga Germans]]: Ethnic Germans who colonized and historically lived along the Volga River in the region of southeastern European Russia around Saratov and to the south. Recruited as immigrants to Russia in the 18th century by Czarina Catherine the Great, they were allowed to maintain their German culture, language, traditions and churches (Lutheran, Reformed, Catholics, Moravians and Mennonites). In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Volga Germans emigrated to Kansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, California, Washington and other states across the western United States, as well as to Canada and South America (mainly Argentina and Brazil). ::*[[Space:Volhynia|Volhynia]]: Historic region in Central and Eastern Europe, situated between south-eastern Poland, south-western Belarus, and western Ukraine. While the borders of the region are not clearly defined, the territory that still carries the name is Volyn Oblast, located in western Ukraine. ::*[[Space:Black_Sea_Germans|Black Sea Germans]]: Ethnic Germans who left their homelands starting in the late 18th century, but principally in the early 19th century at the behest of Emperor Alexander I of Russia, and settled in territories off the north coast of the Black Sea, mostly in the territories of the southern Russian Empire (including modern-day Ukraine). :Other Special Interest/Migrational: *[[Space:Gottschee_Project|Gottschee]]: Gottschee refers to a former German-speaking region of Lower Carniola, now in Slovenia. The region has been a county, duchy, district, and municipality during various parts of its history. The term often also refers to the entire ethnolinguistic area regardless of administrative borders. Today Gottschee largely corresponds to the Municipality of Kočevje. The original German settlers of the region are called Gottschee Germans or Gottscheers, and their German dialect is called Gottschee German or Gottscheerish. *[[Project:Donauschwaben|Donauschwaben]]: The Donauschwaben and Banater Swabians are German-speaking people who settled in and around the Danube River in southeastern and central Europe in several waves through the 18th and 19th centuries. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, having taken much of the area back from the Ottoman Empire, actively recruited subjects to colonize the neglected lands and make them arable and profitable, and not incidentally, to defend them against Ottoman raids. It's estimated that around one million ethnic Germans lived in these regions before WWII. This team also includes a page for a region in Donauschwaben: [[Space:Banater_Schwaben|Banater Schwaben]]. ===Propose A New Team=== :If you have an idea for a team that isn't already covered above then you can suggest it on the [[Space:Germany_Project_Ideas_Proposal_Page|Germany Project Ideas Proposal Page]]. -----

[[Category:Germany Project]] This page is provided by the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] =Welcome to the Germany Project Templates Page= The Germany project has many [[Help:Templates|templates]] which can be used to add special boxes, also known as [[Help:Stickers|stickers]], to display on profiles. Templates highlight information of interest specific to the person and should be used sparingly, with no more than 3 per profile (the exception is for active WikiTree member profiles, where you can load them on). :-) '''Please remember''': stickers are used for profile "decoration" only. The information you add to a sticker should be reflected in the profile's data fields and in its biography. Stickers are used at the discretion of the profile manager and can be removed at any time. If you want to add a sticker to a profile, please be courteous and ask the PM before adding a sticker to a profile you do not manage. =Templates/Stickers= ==Germany Project Member Sticker== This sticker can be placed on the profile of active WikiTreers who are members of the Germany Project, with English and German options. To add this sticker to a profile, simply copy the following coding and insert it directly below the Biography headline:

If you add a modern regional location (rather than just Germany or Deutschland), you can also add a regional flag. Berlin is used as an example in the images below. If you're adding a regional location to the sticker, it should be used on more modern profiles as they do not include the language "the region now known as XYZ, Germany" ("hat deutsche Wurzeln im Bereich des heutigen XYZ, Deutschland"), as the [[Template: German Roots Sticker|German Roots Sticker]] does. To use this more complex language for a location sticker, use the [[#Nonmigrating Ancestor|Nonmigrating Ancestor]] sticker, below. NOTE: The [[Template:Germany Sticker|Germany Sticker]] and [[#Nonmigrating Ancestor|Nonmigrating Ancestor]] sticker do NOT add any categories. See [[Template: Germany Sticker|Template: Germany Sticker]] for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker. ==="Lived In" Sticker=== :The [[Template:Germany Sticker|Germany Sticker]]'s default text, with a location parameter, produces a "lived in" sticker - a location MUST be added as a parameter. To add this sticker to a profile, copy the following coding and insert it directly below the Biography headline:

See [[Template: Germany Sticker|Template: Germany Sticker]] for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker as a "born in" sticker. ---- ==Migrating Ancestor== The Migrating Ancestor template is used for profiles of people who migrated from one place to another. :{{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Germany |destination= Australia |origin-flag= Flags.gif |destination-flag= Flags_of_Australian.png }} {{Migrating Ancestor |origin= Germany |destination= Australia |origin-flag= Flags.gif |destination-flag= Flags_of_Australian.png }}
See [[Template:Migrating_Ancestor|Template:Migrating Ancestor]] for more detailed information on the migrating ancestor sticker. ---- ==Nonmigrating Ancestor== The Nonmigrating Ancestor template can be used to create a more complex "born in", "lived in" or "Roots" sticker. These are highly customizable as you can add your own text and images. Example 1: :{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ was born in the region now known as Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ was born in the region now known as Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }}
Example 2: :{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ lived in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein her entire life. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ lived in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein her entire life. |flag=German_Flags-35.png |tooltip=Dithmarschen flag }}
Example 3: :{{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ has roots in Großherzogtum Mecklenburg-Strelitz. |flag=German_territorial_structure_in_the_course_of_history-70.png |tooltip=Flagge Mecklenburg }} {{Nonmigrating Ancestor |addinfo=XYZ has roots in Großherzogtum Mecklenburg-Strelitz. |flag=German_territorial_structure_in_the_course_of_history-70.png |tooltip=Flagge Mecklenburg }}
See [[Template:Nonmigrating_Ancestor|Template:Nonmigrating Ancestor]] for more detailed information on using the nonmigrating ancestor sticker. See also [[Space:German_Flags|German Flags]] for a list of flags with dates used. ---- ==Descendant Sticker== The Descendant sticker is a lot like the Nonmigrating Ancestor sticker and can be tailored with images, links to individual family members '''AND categories can be added as well'''. To use an image, you'll need its file name. A category can be called using the "category" parameter. Example 1: :{{Descendant |id=a Prussian King |image=German_Flags-19.png |imagetext=Flag of Prussia }} {{Descendant |id=a Prussian King |image=German_Flags-19.png |imagetext=Flag of Prussia }}
Example 2: :{{Descendant |image=German_Flags-35.png |id=[[Thiessen-484|HDA Thiessen]], who emigrated from Reinsbüttel, Duchy of Holstein after the First Schleswig War}} {{Descendant |image=German_Flags-35.png |id=[[Thiessen-484|HDA Thiessen]], who emigrated from Reinsbüttel, Duchy of Holstein after the First Schleswig War}}

---- ==Location Stickers== Use the [[Template:Germany Sticker|Germany Sticker]] to produce "lived in" or "born in" location stickers. A location MUST be added as a parameter. If you add a modern regional location (rather than just Germany or Deutschland), you can also add a regional flag. Berlin is used as an example in the images below. If you're adding a regional location to the sticker, it should be used on more modern profiles as they do not include the language "the region now known as XYZ, Germany" ("hat deutsche Wurzeln im Bereich des heutigen XYZ, Deutschland"), as the [[Template: German Roots Sticker|German Roots Sticker]] does. To use this more complex language for a location sticker, use the [[#Nonmigrating Ancestor|Nonmigrating Ancestor]] sticker, below. NOTE: The [[Template:Germany Sticker|Germany Sticker]] and [[#Nonmigrating Ancestor|Nonmigrating Ancestor]] sticker do NOT add any categories. See [[Template: Germany Sticker|Template: Germany Sticker]] for more detailed information on using the Germany Sticker. ==="Lived In" Sticker=== :The [[Template:Germany Sticker|Germany Sticker]]'s default text, with a location parameter, produces a "lived in" sticker - a location MUST be added as a parameter. To add this sticker to a profile, copy the following coding and insert it directly below the Biography headline:

|location=Germany
:{{Germany Sticker|location=Berlin, Germany|image=German_Flags-1.png}}

[[Category:Germany Project]] Return to '''[[Project:Germany|Germany Project]] ==Federal Republic of Germany: 16 States== Today, there are 16 federated states (or länder) of Germany. Many of them became states when the Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949; however, some were added after the German reunification in 1990. What is now called the Federal Republic of Germany was previously known as the German Empire from 1871 until the end of World War II.

Dobrodošli v projektu Kočevje!''' [[Image:Gottschee.jpg |400px|Volhynia]] =Welcome to the Gotschee Team= The Gottschee Region was a part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during 1918–1941 ==Mission== The goal of this team is to pull together all Gottscheer profiles and associate them with the correct villages and houses. ==How did the Gottschee Team begin at WikiTree?== From [[Ellis-6095|Dawn Ellis]]: "I don't actually have Gottscheer roots, but I find it absolutely fascinating that a group of people were able to keep their culture and language alive for hundreds of years while surrounded by another language and culture. When I started working on the genealogy of a friend, I had no knowledge of the Gottscheer people. Neither did he. He thought he might be Yugoslavian, but really had no idea." == How to Join https://www.wikitree.com/images/badge/germany.gif == If you would like to be involved in the '''Gottschee Team''', please do the following: # Join the Germany Project and get a project member badge. The join post can be accessed on the main [[Project:Germany|project page]]. #Please post a comment on this page or [https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=9095381 send Dawn a private message]. # Add Germany to your list of [[Special:Following|followed tags]]. That way you'll see all our discussions in your [https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/following G2G Feed]. # Add your name to the Team Members list below, along with a note about what you're working on in this team right now (please also include which colony villages your family is from, if you know). ==Tasks== *Identify ancestors with Gottscheer roots. *Identify their village and house numbers. *Add sources to Gottschee profiles. *Add WikiTree categories to your ancestors with Gottschee roots that include the village and house number, ie: Category:Unterlag house 5 and Category:Gottschee (don't forget the double square brackets). If your village or town has not been created yet, ask the categorization project to make one for you. *Copy and paste the template below on profiles that have German ancestry. {{German Roots Sticker}} It displays as: :::'''{{German Roots Sticker}} '''

While it is the 2nd most populous city second only to Berlin, it is also the 2nd smallest of the 16 States. Water is its life as besides the port it has a network of canals and lakes which in turn create a verdant landscape.

Emperor Charlemagne ordered the construction of a castle which can still be seen in the city’s coat of arms. It has been an important trading center since the Middle Ages. In 1189 it was given the title of Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire. Tax-free access enabled it to become a key trade center in Europe. In 1241 the prosperous trading city of Lübeck formed an alliance with Hamburg, which eventually resulted in the League of Hanseatic Cities. It retained its independence while being part of the German Confederation, the North German Confederation, the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. During the Nazi 3rd Reich it was a city state and Gau. After World War II it was part of the British zone and finally a state in the Federal Republic of Germany. The legacy of the League is still reflected in the city’s full name: the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. :In 1664, the senate of Hamburg enacted a law to protect the swans living on the Alster in the city. Anyone who dared to beat to death, insult, shoot or eat a swan would be severely punished. A tradition says that Hamburg will be free and Hanseatic as long as there are swans living on the Alster. Even now, the Alster swans are protected and cared for by the modern government. The citizens of Hamburg respect this centuries old tradition. :In its long history it has seen the sorrow of invasions, deadly fires, the Black Death, cholera and two World Wars. Yet, it always comes back against any adversity due to the spirit of its citizens. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hamburg Wikipedia]: History of Hamburg *[https://www.hamburg.com/residents/about/11853158/history/ Hamburg.com]: History ===Culture=== :Germany has a number of different cultures.

While it is the 2nd most populous city second only to Berlin, it is also the 2nd smallest of the 16 States. Water is its life as besides the port it has a network of canals and lakes which in turn create a verdant landscape.

Emperor Charlemagne ordered the construction of a castle which can still be seen in the city’s coat of arms. It has been an important trading center since the Middle Ages. In 1189 it was given the title of Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire. Tax-free access enabled it to become a key trade center in Europe. In 1241 the prosperous trading city of Lübeck formed an alliance with Hamburg, which eventually resulted in the League of Hanseatic Cities. It retained its independence while being part of the German Confederation, the North German Confederation, the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. During the Nazi 3rd Reich it was a city state and Gau. After World War II it was part of the British zone and finally a state in the Federal Republic of Germany. The legacy of the League is still reflected in the city’s full name: the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. :In 1664, the senate of Hamburg enacted a law to protect the swans living on the Alster in the city. Anyone who dared to beat to death, insult, shoot or eat a swan would be severely punished. A tradition says that Hamburg will be free and Hanseatic as long as there are swans living on the Alster. Even now, the Alster swans are protected and cared for by the modern government. The citizens of Hamburg respect this centuries old tradition. :In its long history it has seen the sorrow of invasions, deadly fires, the Black Death, cholera and two World Wars. Yet, it always comes back against any adversity due to the spirit of its citizens. *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hamburg Wikipedia]: History of Hamburg *[https://www.hamburg.com/residents/about/11853158/history/ Hamburg.com]: History ===Culture=== :Germany has a number of different cultures.

During the Roman Empire the first recorded entry of a location within what today is the German State of Hesse was in 782, a town called Eberstadt, later Eberstadt im Rheingau is mentioned when a man named Walther and his wife Willswinde gave their entire property to the Lorsch convent. This resides now in the Darmstadt region of Hesse. Under the rule of Philip I the Generous (1504-1567), Hesse was unified until his death when it was split among his four sons. Hesse, like most of the Northern States, switched to Protestantism and in Hesse-Kassel Calvinism was also followed. In 1605 Calvinism was made the official religion of Hesse-Kassel. The Revolutionary Wars that plagued most of what today is known as Germany spared most of Hesse except for the siege of Verdun at Frankfurt-am-Main in 1792. Peace was made with France by 1801. Under Napoleon Hesse-Darmstadt grew larger and more powerful. However due to resistance in Hesse-Kassel it was disbanded and absorbed into Westphalia. After Napoleon and the French were pushed out by 1814 during the Congress of Vienna 3 main regions existed Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Darmstadt, and the duchy of Nassau. During the rise of Prussia many people left Hesse and moved to America and to a lesser extent Britain. During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the territories of Hesse supported the defeated Austrian monarchy, and had lost to the Prussians. Only The Grand Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt was allowed to retain its independence in spite of some minor territorial losses. After WWI Germany was reduced in power but many of the prior noble families retained their strongholds. The House of Hesse-Darmstadt died out in 1937. Hesse-Kassel is the last remaining German noble house and continues into modern times. Hessen-Battenberg morphed into Mountbatten due to its ties to the royal family of Britain. During the Weimar Republic Hesse-Nassau remained as part of Prussia. Hesse-Darmstadt became part of the Republic of Hesse.

During the Roman Empire the first recorded entry of a location within what today is the German State of Hesse was in 782, a town called Eberstadt, later Eberstadt im Rheingau is mentioned when a man named Walther and his wife Willswinde gave their entire property to the Lorsch convent. This resides now in the Darmstadt region of Hesse. Under the rule of Philip I the Generous (1504-1567), Hesse was unified until his death when it was split among his four sons. Hesse, like most of the Northern States, switched to Protestantism and in Hesse-Kassel Calvinism was also followed. In 1605 Calvinism was made the official religion of Hesse-Kassel. The Revolutionary Wars that plagued most of what today is known as Germany spared most of Hesse except for the siege of Verdun at Frankfurt-am-Main in 1792. Peace was made with France by 1801. Under Napoleon Hesse-Darmstadt grew larger and more powerful. However due to resistance in Hesse-Kassel it was disbanded and absorbed into Westphalia. After Napoleon and the French were pushed out by 1814 during the Congress of Vienna 3 main regions existed Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Darmstadt, and the duchy of Nassau. During the rise of Prussia many people left Hesse and moved to America and to a lesser extent Britain. During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the territories of Hesse supported the defeated Austrian monarchy, and had lost to the Prussians. Only The Grand Duchy of Hessen-Darmstadt was allowed to retain its independence in spite of some minor territorial losses. After WWI Germany was reduced in power but many of the prior noble families retained their strongholds. The House of Hesse-Darmstadt died out in 1937. Hesse-Kassel is the last remaining German noble house and continues into modern times. Hessen-Battenberg morphed into Mountbatten due to its ties to the royal family of Britain. During the Weimar Republic Hesse-Nassau remained as part of Prussia. Hesse-Darmstadt became part of the Republic of Hesse. After WWII under the US zone administration Hesse-Nassau and the Republic of Hesse were combined to create the new Federal State of Hesse. *[https://www.britannica.com/place/Hessen/History Britannica.com]: History *[https://www.britannica.com/place/Hesse-Darmstadt Britannica.com]: Hesse-Darmstadt *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Hesse Wikipedia:] History of Hesse *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Hesse Wikipedia]: House of Hesse *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landgraviate_of_Hesse Wikipedia]: Landgraviate of Hesse *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Hesse Wikipedia]: Grand Duchy of Hesse *[https://www.historyfiles.co.uk/FeaturesEurope/GermanyHesse_History01.htm HistoryFiles.co]: A Brief History of Hesse *[https://english.hessen.de/visitors/hessian-history Hessen.de]: Hessian History *[http://catholicencyclopedia.newadvent.com/cathen/07298c.htm Catholic Encyclopedia]: Hesse *[https://history.state.gov/countries/hesse History.State.gov]: A Guide to the United States’ History of Recognition, Diplomatic, and Consular Relations, by Country, since 1776: Hesse *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesse#History Wikipedia:] Hesse *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Empire Wikipedia]: The German Empire *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire Wikipedia]: The Holy Roman Empire *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_Germany Wikipedia]: Coat of Arms of Germany ===Culture=== :Germany has a number of different cultures.

Landkreis Diepholz
{{Image|file=Profile_Photo_s-88.png |align=c |size=300px |caption= }} The district of Diepholz is a district in the center of Lower Saxony . It extends from Bremen about 70 kilometers to the south to the border of North Rhine-Westphalia northeast of Osnabrück. Diepholz connects Germany's smallest and Germany's most populated country with each other, Bremen and North Rhine-Westphalia. From the 12th century to 1585 Diepholz was a sovereign Noble Lordship, later County, within the Holy Roman Empire that was ruled over by the Noble Lords, later ruled by Counts, of Diepholz. In 1585 the ruling family became extinct, and Diepholz was eventually annexed by Brunswick-Lüneburg. In 1932, the districts of Diepholz and Sulingen were merged and the district of Grafschaft Diepholz (County of Diepholz) was established. The modern day district of Diepholz was formed in August 1, 1977 by merging the former districts of Grafschaft Diepholz (County of Diepholz) and Grafschaft Hoya (County of Hoya). In the county the areas with the name Diepholz were previously the circle Diepholz (1885 to 1932), the Office Diepholz (until 1885) and the county Diepholz . *{{red|State - Lower Saxony}} *{{red|Administrative seat - Diepholz}} *{{red|Area - 1988.14 km}} *{{red|Population - 213,976}} {{red|Coat of Arms}} {{Image|file=Profile_Photo_s-87.png |align=l |size=100 |caption= }} The coat of arms shows the lion of the Diepholz count, framed by the claws of the bear representing the Count of Hoya.

[[Category:German Projects]] [[Category:Uelzen (Kreis), Niedersachsen]] [[Category:Greenwood-3667]] {{One Place Study|place=Landkreis Uelzen, Niedersachsen}} This is a project for '''Landkreis Uelzen''' (or '''Ülzen'''/'''Ülz’n''' in Low German) located within the State of Lower Saxony, Germany (''Bundesland Niedersachsen, Deutschland''). The focus is currently on the modern structure of locations within the Landkreis (equivalent of a county) and the people that reside or resided within them. Additional work may be done to name these places as they existed in the deeper past. '''Currently there are three members of this project:''' *'''[[Greenwood-3667|Steven Greenwood]]'''; who has several ancestors that emigrated to America from this area *Uelzen resident '''[[Lewerenz-9|Dieter Lewerenz]]''', who has supplied detailed political structure and history of the Landkreis. *Landkreis Uelzen and [[Space:Lüneburger Heide|Lüneburger Heide]] contributor '''[[Stegen-15|Oliver Stegen]]''', who has built up a large portion of the branches stemming from this Landkreis on WikiTree and has helped to break some brick walls. Here are some of the tasks that we think need to be done. We'll be working on them, and could use your help. *Define the '''category structure''' for this region on WikiTree. The political structure is given below and we believe categorization should follow this. **Create categories for all locations that have people to place within them. **Place any and all people from this region into their respective location categories. *Define '''history''' of the region and identify alternate geographic names for given areas. *Identify '''notables''' from this region. *Identify the '''surnames''' of this region. *Connect people and surnames from the area to locations of '''emigration''' around the world. *Identify '''cemeteries''' in the Landkreis and note those buried there *Identify '''reliable resources''' for this region. *'''Give us recommendations!''' Will you join us? Please post a comment here on this page, in [https://www.WikiTree.com/g2g G2G] using the project tag, or [https://www.WikiTree.com/index.php?title=Special:PrivateMessage&who=27309179 send Steven a private message].

From 1235 to 1692, it was under ''Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg''. ====Renaissance to Post-Second World War==== The area of Uelzen was promoted in 1692 to the 9th Electorate (''Kurfürstentum'') of the Holy Roman Empire and remained part of the ''Kurfürstentum Braunschweig-Lüneburg'' (also called ''Kurfürstentum Hannover''). until 1810 when this Kurfürstentum became part of the Kingdom Westphalia and in 1814 as result of the Wiener Kongress part of the Kingdom of Hanover (''Königreich Hannover''). On 8 June 1815, the creation of the German Confederation (''Deutscher Bund'') would incorporate the Kingdom of Hanover. The region of Lüneburg, one of the four ''Regierungsbezirke'' of the Kingdom of Hanover, was established in 1823. With the end of the short Austro-Prussia War in 1866, the German Confederation fell and Hanover would become annexed into the Kingdom of Prussia and reestablished as the Province of Hanover. With the signing of the North German Confederation Treaty on 18 Aug 1866, this area became part of the North German Confederation (''Norddeutscher Bund'') from July 1867 to December 1870. The unification of Germany commenced 1 Jan 1871 with the creation of Imperial State of Germany (German Empire, ''Deutsches Kaiserreich''), which would remain in this state until the November Revolution of 1918. '''Landkreis Uelzen''' was created on 1 Apr 1885 in the frame of creating Landkreise in the Prussian province of Hanover. The old Hannoveranian ''Ämter'' [[:Category: Medingen, Hannover|Hannover]] and [[:Category:Oldenstadt, Hannover|Oldenstadt]] and the independent town Uelzen were put together to form the new Landkreis.Ämter were administrative bodies like ''Samtgemeinde''; in Schleswig-Holstein these administrative bodies are still called ''Amt'' (pl. ''Ämter''). The administrative center was in Oldenstadt. After World War I and the subsequent November Revolution which abdicated Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany transitioned to a democratic parliamentary republic known as the Weimar Republic (''Weimarer Republik''). Landkreis Uelzen would be part of the Province of Hanover (''Provinz Hannover''), located within the Free State of Prussia. From 1928 to 1929, very small municipalities (''Gemeinden'') within the Landkreis were incorporated into other municipalities. These include [[:Category:Abbendorf, Niedersachsen|Abbendorf]], [[:Category:Addenstorf, Niedersachsen|Addenstorf]], [[:Category:Borne, Niedersachsen|Borne]], [[:Category:Eitzen II, Niedersachsen|Eitzen II]], [[:Category:Eppensen, Niedersachsen|Eppensen]], [[:Category:Gansau, Niedersachsen|Gansau]], [[:Category:Gavendorf, Niedersachsen|Gavendorf]], [[:Category:Golste, Niedersachsen|Golste]], [[:Category:Groß Bollensen, Niedersachsen|Groß Bollensen]], [[:Category:Groß Ellenberg, Niedersachsen|Groß Ellenberg]], [[:Category:Groß Pretzier Niedersachsen|Groß Pretzier]], [[:Category:Haaßel, Niedersachsen|Haaßel]], [[:Category:Hamborg, Niedersachsen|Hamborg]], [[:Category:Havekost, Niedersachsen|Havekost]], [[:Category:Klein Bollensen, Niedersachsen|Klein Bollensen]], [[:Category:Klein Ellenberg, Niedersachsen|Klein Ellenberg]], [[:Category:Klein Liedern, Niedersachsen|Klein Liedern]], [[:Category:Klein Pretzier, Niedersachsen|Klein Pretzier]], [[:Category:Kollendorf, Niedersachsen|Kollendorf]], [[:Category:Kuckstorf, Niedersachsen|Kuckstorf]], [[:Category:Luttmissen, Niedersachsen|Luttmissen]], [[:Category:Nassennottorf, Niedersachsen|Nassennottorf]], [[:Category:Overstedt, Niedersachsen|Overstedt]], [[:Category:Prielip, Niedersachsen|Prielip]], [[:Category:Probien, Niedersachsen|Probien]], [[:Category:Retzien, Niedersachsen|Retzien]], [[:Category:Satkau, Niedersachsen|Satkau]], [[:Category:Tatendorf, Niedersachsen|Tatendorf]], [[:Category:Tätendorf, Niedersachsen|Tätendorf]], [[:Category:Teendorf, Niedersachsen|Teendorf]], and [[:Category:Westersunderberg, Niedersachsen|Westersunderberg]]. Up until the 1920s, Landkreis Uelzen included the estate districts of [[:Category:Göddenstedt, Niedersachsen|Göddenstedt]], [[:Category:Lintzel, Niedersachsen|Lintzel]], [[:Category:Niebeck, Niedersachsen|Niebeck]], [[:Category:Oechtringen, Niedersachsen|Oechtringen]], [[:Category:Oitzfelde, Niedersachsen|Oitzfelde]], [[:Category:Reisenmoor, Niedersachsen|Reisenmoor]], [[:Category:Sankt Omer, Niedersachsen|Sankt Omer]], [[:Category:Scharnhop, Niedersachsen|Scharnhop]], [[:Category:Solchstorf, Niedersachsen|Solchstorf]], and [[:Category:Süsing, Niedersachsen|Süsing]] as well as the forest districts of [[:Category:Böhe, Niedersachsen|Böhe]], [[:Category:Breitenhees, Niedersachsen|Breitenhees]], [[:Category:Lohn, Niedersachsen|Lohn]], [[:Category:Maschbruch, Niedersachsen|Maschbruch]], and [[:Category:Wiebeck, Niedersachsen|Wiebeck]]. They have since been dissolved. In 1934, with the rise of the German Reich (''Deutsches Reich''), Landkreis Uelzen fell under Gau Eastern Hanover (''Ost-Hannover'') in a process of what was called ''Gleichschaltung''. This would be dissolved with the destruction of the NSDAP in 1945. On 23 Aug 1946, the short-lived State of Hanover was created from lands of the Province of Hanover within the Free State of Prussia. On 8 Nov 1946, backdated to 1 Nov 1946, the state of Lower Saxony (''Niedersachsen'') was formed by the State Advisory Board of the British Zone of Occupation from a merger of the Free States of Brunswick, of Oldenburg and of Schaumburg-Lippe with the previously formed State of Hanover. Prussia was formally abolished on 25 Feb 1947 by decree of the Allied Control Council. On 1 Jul 1957, [[:Category:Oldendorf I, Niedersachsen|Oldendorf I]] and [[:Category:Graulingen, Niedersachsen|Graulingen]] were incorporated. On 1 Jan 1971, the municipality [[:Category:Hambrock, Niedersachsen|Hambrock]] was incorporated. ====Recent restructuring==== On 1 Jul 1972, Oldenstadt became a part of the town Uelzen and the administrative center of the Landkreis Uelzen moved into the maintown Uelzen. Several municipalities (Gemeinden) were merged. The municipalities [[:Category:Meußließen, Niedersachsen|Meußließen]] and [[:Category:Reddien, Niedersachsen|Reddien]] were moved to the Landkreis [[:Category:Lüchow-Dannenberg (Kreis), Niedersachsen|Lüchow-Dannenberg]]; the municipality [[:Category:Lopau, Niedersachsen|Lopau]] became part of the town Munster (today [[:Category:Heidekreis, Niedersachsen|Heidekreis]]). The municipalities [[:Category:Kakau, Niedersachsen|Kakau]] and [[:Category:Varbitz, Niedersachsen|Varbitz]] (formerly Landkreis Lüchow-Dannenberg) were suburbanized into the municipality [[:Category:Soltendieck, Niedersachsen|Soltendieck]] (today part of Samtgemeinde [[:Category:Aue (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Aue]]). From the Landkreis [[:Category: Lüneburg (Kreis), Niedersachsen|Lüneburg]], the municipalities [[:Category:Grünhagen (Uelzen), Niedersachsen|Grünhagen]], [[:Category: Hohenbostel (Bienenbüttel), Niedersachsen|Hohenbostel]], [[:Category:Niendorf, Niedersachsen|Niendorf]], and [[:Category:Wulfstorf, Niedersachsen|Wulfstorf]] came to Landkreis Uelzen and were suburbanized into the municipality [[:Category:Bienenbüttel, Niedersachsen|Bienenbüttel]]. On 1 Nov 2011 the collective municipality [[Wikipedia:Wrestedt (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Wrestedt]] with the municiplities [[:Category:Wrestedt, Niedersachsen|Wrestedt]], [[:Category:Wieren, Niedersachsen|Wieren]] and [[:Category:Stadensen, Niedersachsen|Stadensen]] was disbanded and they created the new municipality Wrestedt. These municipalities were put together with the collective municipality [[Wikipedia:Bodenteich (Samtgemeinde)|Bodenteich]] to the new collective municipality [[:Category:Aue (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Aue]]. The collective municipalities [[Wikipedia:Bevensen|Bevensen]] and [[Wikipedia:Altes Amt Ebstorf|Altes Amt Ebstorf]] also merged on this day to become the new collective municipality [[:Category:Bevensen-Ebstorf (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Bevensen-Ebstorf]]. ====Regional changes==== #Billunger Lande, Duchy of Saxony (Herzogtum Sachsen), Holy Roman Empire (Heiliges Römisches Reich, 800-1806) #Herzogtum Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1235-1692) #German Confederation (8 June 1815-1 Jan 1871) #North German Confederation ( #German Empire (1 Jan 1871-9 Nov 1918) #*Creation of Landkreis Uelzen (1 Apr 1885) #German Reich (Deutches Reich, Weimar Republic) (9 Nov 1918-23 Mar 1933) #Nazi Germany (23 Mar 1933-23 May 1945) #Allied-occupied Germany (British occupation zone) (23 May 1945-23 Aug 1946) #State of Hanover (23 Aug 1946-1 Nov 1946) #Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) (1 Nov 1946-Present) #West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany) (23 May 1949-3 Oct 1990) #Germany (Unified) (3 Oct 1990-Present) ==Geography and political structure== ===Generic structure=== The political structure of Bundesland Niedersachsen (State of Lower Saxony) is as follows: *1st Level: 1 Metropolitan area ([[:Category:Hannover, Niedersachsen|Hannover]]), 36 Landkreise (counties), 8 kreisfreie Städte (independent town) *2nd Level: Samtgemeinde (collective municipality) or Einheitsgemeinde (free municipality), Stadt (town as independent municipality) *3rd Level: Gemeinde (municipality) or Stadt (local community or town), Stadtteil (Borough of an independent town) *4th Level: Ortschaft (village), Ortsteil (part of a town/Einheitsgemeinde) *5th Level: Weiler, Ortsteil/Wohnplatz (dwelling place) ===Structure of Landkreis Uelzen=== Landkreis Uelzen has the following current political structure:
1. The town (independent municipality) [[:Category:Uelzen, Niedersachsen|Uelzen]]
2. The Einheitsgemeinde (unified municipality) [[:Category:Bienenbüttel, Niedersachsen|Bienenbüttel]] Four Samtgemeinden (collective municipalities, also joint communities)
3. [[:Category:Bevensen-Ebstorf (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Bevensen-Ebstorf]]

5. [[:Category:Rosche (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Rosche]]
6. [[:Category:Suderburg (Samtgemeinde), Niedersachsen|Suderburg]] The Samtgemeinde are always subdivided into Gemeinden (local communities), the town Uelzen and the Einheitsgemeinde are not. Uelzen and the Einheitsgemeinde have Ortsteile, Gemeinden Ortsteile or Ortschaften (districts, municipalities, or localities). Ortschaften or Ortsteile can have Wohnplätze or Weiler (dwelling places), or estates or forest courtyards.

Governments which recognised or conferred nobility were the [[:Category:Imperium_Romanum_Sacrum|Holy Roman Empire]] (962-1806), the [[:Category:Deutscher_Bund|German Confederation]] (1814-1866) and the German Empire (1871-1918). All legal privileges of the nobility were officially abolished in 1919 by the Weimar Republic (1919-1933), and nobility is no longer conferred or recognised by the [[:Category:Bundesrepublik_Deutschland|German Republic]], former hereditary titles being allowed only as part of the surname. The system of nobility in the former German Empire was similar to the nobility of Austria, as both territories long belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, although the Austrian Republic, unlike Germany's, legally abolished its nobility and banned use of hereditary titles in any form.

And it surrounds the state of Bremen and the land side of the seaport Bremerhaven. It borders more states than any other German state. It also contains the seven Frisian Islands and the historical area known as Emsland. It is the largest fruit-producing state with its primary crop being apples. Its capital was once also a kingdom, the historic region of Hanover. *[https://niedersachsen.de/startseite/ Niedersachsen.de]: Official Website *[[Wikipedia:Lower Saxony|Wikipedia: Lower Saxony]] *[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niedersachsen Wikipedia.de]: Niedersachsen *[https://www.britannica.com/place/Lower-Saxony Britannica]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/Germany/niedersachsen.htm NationsOnline]: Niedersachsen ===Maps=== :Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) is divided into 37 districts (Landkreise or simply Kreise), eight urban districts and two cities. {{Image|file=Lower_Saxony_Team.png |align=c |size=l |caption=Map of Lower Saxony }}

Natural features are also very diverse including everything from mountains to prairies and forests and sea ports. Lower Saxony contains the largest fruit producing part of Germany with apples being its largest crop. It is also a major producer of livestock, wheat, potato, beet, and other crops. Dining reflects these abundant food groups. Silver, iron and salt mining have been important since medieval times. About 20% of its lands are parks and other protected natural areas. There are eight urban districts and two cities with special status: Braunschweig, Delmenhorst, Emden, Göttingen, Hanover, Oldenburg, Osnabrück, Salzgitter, Wilhelmshaven, and Wolfsburg. The people of Lower Saxony describe the area as Low German. Its origin is linked by a common ancient Saxon origin and the use of the Low German dialect known as Plattdeutsch, a dialect closely related to Dutch, Frisian, and English, and quite distinct from the official High German. *[https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Lower_Saxony WikiVoyage]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.niedersachsen-tourism.com/experiences/culture-in-lower-saxony Niedersachsen-tourism.com]: Lower Saxony - A Rich Heritage Full of Beauty *[https://www.niedersachsen-tourism.com/destinations/cities-in-lower-saxony Niedersachsen-tourism.com]: Cities in Lower Saxony *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187347-Activities-c47-t6,13,26,163-Lower_Saxony.html TripAdvisor]: Lower Saxony Landmarks *[https://www.joylandztravel.com/tag/lower-saxony-germany/ Joyzlandztravel]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.lower-saxony.de/tourism_and_culture/culture/ Lower-Saxony.de]: Tourism and Culture *[https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/the-top-10-things-to-see-and-do-in-lower-saxony-germany/ TheCultureTrip.com]: The Top 10 Things to See and Do in Lower Saxony, Germany *[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Culture_of_Lower_Saxony WikiMedia Category]: Culture of Lower Saxony *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jastorf_culture Wikipedia]: Jastorf Culture *[https://germanculture.com.ua/library/weekly/saxony.htm GermanCulture.com]: Saxony - a Crossroads of European History, Culture and Art *[https://www.thelocal.de/20190628/weekend-wanderlust-10-experiences-unique-to-hanover TheLocal.de]: Weekend Wanderlust: 10 unique reasons Hanover is worth visiting *[https://www.visit-niedersachsen.com/ Visit-Niedersachsen.com] *[https://trip101.com/article/best-things-to-do-in-osnabruck-germany Trip101]: 10 Best Things To Do In Osnabrück, Germany *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/lower-saxony-bremen Lonely Planet.com]: Lower Saxony & Bremen *[http://travel-to-germany.info/cuisine/german-cuisine-lower-saxony/ Travel-to-Germany.info]: German Cuisine: Lower Saxony *[https://germanfoods.org/german-food-facts/lower-saxony/ GermanFoods.org]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.quick-german-recipes.com/lower-saxony.html Quick-German-Recipes.com]: Lower Saxony - Regional Food *[https://www.altes-land.de/ Altes-Land.de] *[https://museum-altesland.jork.de/ Museum-Altesland]: Museums in the municipality of Jork ==Research Help and Regional Resources== ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

Emsland is a Landkreis (subdistrict) of the Regierungsbezirk (larger district) of Weser-Ems located in the Land (state) of Niedersachsen. The village of Lohne, which was formerly in the parish of Schepsdorf, is today part of Wietmarschen in the district of Bentheim. Nevertheless, it is included here because it was traditionally a part of the area now known as Emsland.

Natural features are also very diverse including everything from mountains to prairies and forests and sea ports. Lower Saxony contains the largest fruit producing part of Germany with apples being its largest crop. It is also a major producer of livestock, wheat, potato, beet, and other crops. Dining reflects these abundant food groups. Silver, iron and salt mining have been important since medieval times. About 20% of its lands are parks and other protected natural areas. There are eight urban districts and two cities with special status: Braunschweig, Delmenhorst, Emden, Göttingen, Hanover, Oldenburg, Osnabrück, Salzgitter, Wilhelmshaven, and Wolfsburg. The people of Lower Saxony describe the area as Low German. Its origin is linked by a common ancient Saxon origin and the use of the Low German dialect known as Plattdeutsch, a dialect closely related to Dutch, Frisian, and English, and quite distinct from the official High German. *[https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Lower_Saxony WikiVoyage]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.niedersachsen-tourism.com/experiences/culture-in-lower-saxony Niedersachsen-tourism.com]: Lower Saxony - A Rich Heritage Full of Beauty *[https://www.niedersachsen-tourism.com/destinations/cities-in-lower-saxony Niedersachsen-tourism.com]: Cities in Lower Saxony *[https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g187347-Activities-c47-t6,13,26,163-Lower_Saxony.html TripAdvisor]: Lower Saxony Landmarks *[https://www.joylandztravel.com/tag/lower-saxony-germany/ Joyzlandztravel]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.lower-saxony.de/tourism_and_culture/culture/ Lower-Saxony.de]: Tourism and Culture *[https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/the-top-10-things-to-see-and-do-in-lower-saxony-germany/ TheCultureTrip.com]: The Top 10 Things to See and Do in Lower Saxony, Germany *[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Culture_of_Lower_Saxony WikiMedia Category]: Culture of Lower Saxony *[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jastorf_culture Wikipedia]: Jastorf Culture *[https://germanculture.com.ua/library/weekly/saxony.htm GermanCulture.com]: Saxony - a Crossroads of European History, Culture and Art *[https://www.thelocal.de/20190628/weekend-wanderlust-10-experiences-unique-to-hanover TheLocal.de]: Weekend Wanderlust: 10 unique reasons Hanover is worth visiting *[https://www.visit-niedersachsen.com/ Visit-Niedersachsen.com] *[https://trip101.com/article/best-things-to-do-in-osnabruck-germany Trip101]: 10 Best Things To Do In Osnabrück, Germany *[https://www.lonelyplanet.com/germany/lower-saxony-bremen Lonely Planet.com]: Lower Saxony & Bremen *[http://travel-to-germany.info/cuisine/german-cuisine-lower-saxony/ Travel-to-Germany.info]: German Cuisine: Lower Saxony *[https://germanfoods.org/german-food-facts/lower-saxony/ GermanFoods.org]: Lower Saxony *[https://www.quick-german-recipes.com/lower-saxony.html Quick-German-Recipes.com]: Lower Saxony - Regional Food *[https://www.altes-land.de/ Altes-Land.de] *[https://museum-altesland.jork.de/ Museum-Altesland]: Museums in the municipality of Jork ==Research Help and Regional Resources== ===Online Resource Compilations=== *[http://ofb.genealogy.net/ Genealogy.net]: Online Familienbücher aka OFBs (regional family books).

[[Category: Luitpold Dynasty]] ==Luitpoldings== '''The Luitpoldings''' were a medieval dynasty which ruled the German stem duchy of Bavaria from some time in the late ninth century off and on until 985. The desendance of the East Frankish Luitpoldings has not been conclusively established. The progenitor of the family Margrave Luitpold of Bavaria possibly was a relative of the Early medieval Huosi noble family and maybe related to the Imperial Carolingian dynasty by Emperor Arnulf's mother Liutswind. In 893 Arnulf appointed him margrave in Carinthia and Pannonia, succeeding the Wilhelminer margrave Engelschalk II. Luitpold was able to enlarge his Bavarian possessions around Regensburg and in the adjacent March of the Nordgau, he became a military leader during the Hungarian invasions and was killed in the 907 Battle of Pressburg. While the Kingdom of Germany emerged under the rule King Conrad I and his successors of the royal Ottonian dynasty, Luitpold's son and heir Arnulf the Bad, backed by the local nobility, adopted the Bavarian ducal title, reorganised the defence against the Hungarian invaders and, according the contemporary Annales iuvavenses, built up a king-like position at his Regensburg residence. He inevitably interfered with the Ottonian King Henry I of Germany, whose rule he finally acknowledged in 921, reserving numerous privileges for himself. Given a free hand, he campaigned the lands of the Přemyslid duke Wenceslaus of Bohemia and in 933/34 even invaded the Kingdom of Italy, in order to obtain the Iron Crown of Lombardy for his son Eberhard, though to no avail. ===Decline=== Eberhard had succeeded his father as Duke of Bavaria in 937, however, he soon struggled with King Otto I of Germany, who had no intention to respect the Bavarian autonomy. Otto declared Eberhard deposed and banned the next year and instead appointed Arnulf's brother Berthold duke, after he had renounced the exercise of the Bavarian liberties. Berthold remained a loyal supporter of King Otto, nevertheless upon his death in 947 the hereditary title of his son Henry the Younger was denied, when the king ceded the Bavarian duchy to his own brother Henry I, who had married Arnulf's daughter Judith. In 976 Henry the Younger received a certain compensation from Emperor Otto II with the newly established Duchy of Carinthia. In 983 he even regained the Bavarian ducal title, however, two years later he had to yield the force of the Ottonian Duke Henry the Wrangler. With his death in 989, the Luitpoldings became extinct. ===Genealogy=== * '''Luitpold''' (d. 907), Margrave of Carinthia and Upper Pannonia, Count in the Nordgau ** '''Arnulf the Bad''', Duke of Bavaria from 907 to 937, had to accept the overlordship of King Henry the Fowler in 921 *** '''Eberhard''', Duke of Bavaria from 937 to 938, deposed and banned by King Otto I of Germany ***'''Arnulf II''' (913 – 954), Bavarian Count palatine from 938 **'''Berthold of Reisensburg''' (930 – 999), Bavarian Count Palatine Judith of Bavaria (925 – 985), married Henry I, younger brother of King Otto I, Duke of Lotharingia 939 – 940, Duke of Bavaria from 948 until his death in 955 **'''Berthold''', Duke of Bavaria upon the deposition of his nephew Eberhard in 938 until his death in 947 ***'''Henry the Younger''', Duke of Carinthia 976 – 978 and 985 – 989, Duke of Bavaria from 983 to 985 An affiliation with the Bavarian House of Wittelsbach is possible though not proven: Count palatine Arnulf II about 940 had a castle built at Scheyern; the descendants of Count Otto I of Scheyern (d. before 4 December 1072), documented as Vogt of Freising in 1047, are rated as ancestors of the Wittelsbachs. * [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BAVARIA.htm#_Toc359834462 FMG entry] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luitpoldings Wikipedia]

{{Image|file=photos-494.png |align=c |size=410 |caption= }} {{Image|file=Profile_Photo_s-93.png |align=c |size=400 |caption='''Map of Lüneburger Heide''' }} {{Image|file=photos-494.png |align=c |size=410 |caption= }} '''Lüneburger Heide''' (in English: ''Lüneburg Heath'') is a large area of heath, geest, and woodland in the northeastern part of the state of Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) between the Northern German cities of Hamburg and Hannover. It is named after the town of Lüneburg. A large area is a nature reserve. Northern Low Saxon (known as "Plattdüütsch") is still spoken in the region, mostly by the older generations. The Lüneburger Heide was always sparsely populated mainly because of the poor soils in the area. The area was dominated by heath farming, with an important economic sideline of past centuries being heathland beekeeping. The villages were encircled by small areas of woodland, and merged into the surrounding landscape. Parts of the Lüneburger Heide in ''[[Space:Landkreis Uelzen, Niedersachsen|Landkreis Uelzen, Niedersachsen]]'' are well documented genealogically. Several publications, called "Ortsfamilienbuch", compile all persons mentioned in the registers of a particular parish in alphabetical order, with cross-references; they can be ordered from ''Museums- und Heimatverein Uelzen'' at http://www.museumsverein-uelzen.de/publikationen.html by sending an email to info@museumsverein-uelzen.de. The parishes covered so far are: {{red|Parishes}} * Hanstedt I, 1679-1895 (Porth 2005, 2nd ed.) * Ebstorf 1627-1875 (Porth & Boe 2005) * Himbergen 1670-1895 (Friesch & Porth 2006) * Wriedel 1758-1875 (Porth 2007) * Natendorf 1698-1875 (Behnke & Porth 2008) * Wichmannsburg 1663-1920 (Behnke & Porth 2009) * Eimke 1727-1900 (Vollmer & Porth 2010) * Bienenbüttel 1642-1920 (Behnke & Porth 2011) * Medingen 1688-1910 (Vollmer 2012) * Römstedt and Höver 1660-1900 (Friesch 2014) * Altenmedingen 1713-1920 (Behnke 2014) * Uelzen 1874-1935 (Weber & Weber 2018) * Barum 1667-1920 (Behnke 2020) {{red|Important Towns}} *Amelinghausen *Bad Fallingbostel *Bispingen *Buchholz in der Nordheide *Celle *Gifhorn *Lüneburg *Munster *Schneverdingen *Soltau *Uelzen *Walsrode {{red|Nature Parks and Nature reserves}} {{Image|file=Profile_Photo_s-95.png |align=r |size=220px |caption='''The Lüneburger Heide nature park''' }} The Lüneburger Heide nature park is in the northwestern part of Lüneburger Heide, it covers an area of 1,130 square kilometres (440 sq mi). Most famous is the Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve around the Wilseder Berg, which has 234 square kilometres (90 sq mi) of land which is 58% woods and 20% heathland. Other nature parks in the Lüneburg Heath region are the Südheide Nature Park and Elbufer-Drawehn Nature Park. In the north of the area is the Harburg Hills Nature Park. The Lüneburg Heath NSG, together with the open heathland of the huge Munster Nord and Süd training areas and the Bergen-Hohne Training Area, is the largest single area of heathland in Central Europe. {{red|World War II}} It was on 4 May 1945 at the end of the Second World War, in the Lüneburger Heide, that the German forces in the Netherlands, northwest Germany, Denmark and all naval ships in those areas unconditionally surrendered to the Allies under Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. It was also in the Lüneburger Heide that [[Himmler-3 |Heinrich Himmler]], head of the SS, was secretly buried in an unmarked grave following his suicide. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Team

Being one of the wildest and least urban areas there is not a lot written on its history. There are some ancient mercantile hubs and that is where the most written history seems to reside. Archaeologists are still uncovering secrets hidden away in its forests and rugged cliff communities. What is known is that humans began populating this area around 10,000 BC after the ice age. Germanic tribes appeared about 2,000 years ago, but seemed to be more migratory than staying to build a civilization. The Vikings and Slavs built trading posts along the coasts. :It was in the 12 century that we see cities being built and settled mainly under Henry the Lion, Duke of the Saxons. For the longest time it was a part of the Holy Roman Empire changing boundaries and names joining the German Empire in the 1800s. Mecklenburg and Pomerania were distinct and autonomous. The Nazi’s united them and after the war the area went to the Soviet Section.

[[Category: Ottonian Dynasty]] '''Ottonian dynasty''' The Ottonian dynasty was a dynasty of German Kings (919–1024), named after its first Emperor but also known as the Saxon dynasty after the family's origin. The family itself is also sometimes known as the Liudolfings, after its earliest known member Liudolf and one of its primary leading-names. The Ottonian rulers are also regarded as successors of the Frankish Carolingian dynasty. '''Ruling in Germany and the Holy Roman Empire'''
Although never Emperor, Henry I the Fowler, Duke of Saxony, was arguably the founder of this imperial dynasty, since his election as German king in 919 made it possible for his son, Otto the Great to take on the imperium. Under the reign of the Ottonian rulers, the kingdom of the Eastern Franks included of the duchies of Lorraine, Saxony, Franconia, Swabia, Thuringia, and Bavaria. Otto I inherited the Duchy of Saxony upon the death of his father in 936. He continued his father's work of unifying all of the German tribes into a single kingdom, greatly expanding the powers of the king at the expense of the aristocracy. Through strategic marriages and personal appointments, Otto installed members of his own family to the Kingdom's most important duchies. This reduced the various Dukes, who had previously been co-equals with the king, into royal subjects under the king's authority. Otto also transformed the Church in Germany into a major royal power base to which he donated charity and for the creation of which his family was responsible. After putting down a brief civil war, Otto defeated the Magyars in 955, ending the Hungarian invasions of Europe and as well as securing his hold over his kingdom. The victory against the pagan Magyars earned Otto the reputation as the savior of Christendom. By 961, Otto had conquered the Kingdom of Italy, which was a troublesome inheritance that none wanted, and extended the his Kingdom's borders to the north, east, and south. In control of much of central and southern Europe, the patronage of Otto and his immediate successors caused a limited cultural renaissance of the arts and architecture. By excluding the Bavarian line of Ottonians from the line of succession, Otto's son and successor Otto II strengthened Imperial authority and secured his own son's succession to the Imperial throne. During his reign, Otto II attempted to annex the whole of Italy into the Empire, bringing him into conflict with the Byzantine Empire and with the Saracens of the Fatimid Caliphate. Otto II's campaign against the Saracens ended in 982 following a disastrous defeat. In 983 Otto II experienced a major uprising of the Slavs against his rule. Otto II died suddenly in 983 at the age of 28 after a ten-year reign. Succeeded by his three-year old son Otto III as King, his sudden death plunged the Italy into crisis. During the regency rule of his widow, the Byzantine princess Theophanu, the Italy abandoned her husband's imperialistic policy and devoted herself entirely to furthering its own agenda in Italy. The childless Otto III was succeeded by Henry II in 1002, a son of duke Henry II, Duke of Bavaria who was a member of the Bavarian line of the Ottonians. Henry II spent the next several years consolidating his political power on his borders. He waged a campaign against Boleslaw I of Poland and then moved successfully into the Kingdom of Italy. After the extinction of the Ottonian dynasty with the death of Henry II in 1024 the crown passed to Conrad II of the Salian dynasty. Liutgarde, a daughter of Otto I had married the Salian Duke Conrad the Red of Lorraine. His great-grandson was Conrad II. When Rudolph III, King of Burgundy died on 2 February 1032, Conrad II successfully claimed also this Kingship on the basis of an inheritance Emperor Henry II had extorted from the former in 1006, after having invaded Burgundy to enforce his claim after Rudolph attempted to renounce it in 1016.

[[Category:German Projects]] Welcome to the Pomerania page which has been created by the [[Space:Prussia Team|Prussia Team]] for the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]]. ==Welcome to the Pomerania / Pommern Team Page== The purpose of this team is for people researching ancestors from Pomerania, Prussia to work together and share information. It is hoped that this page will offer help for those who need it. Researching Prussian ancestors can be difficult, but talking with others who are researching the same place can make it easier. ===Team Members=== *[[Greenwood-3667|Steven Greenwood]] *[[Gürth-8|Andy Gürth]] *[[Haese-11|Kylie Haese]] ==Information and short outline of the history of Pomerania / Pommern== Pomerania (''Pommern'') is a historical region on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea in Europe. The name Pomerania comes from Slavic ''po more'', which means "Land at the Sea". Pomerania was first mentioned in a Holy Roman Empire document of 1046, referring to a ''Zemuzil dux Bomeranorum'' (Zemuzil, Duke of the Pomeranians). The following territories existed in history: *1121 - 1637 - Duchy of Pomerania (''Herzogtum Pommern''), established as a vassal state of Poland in 1121, Dominion of the princely dynasty of the Griffins (''Fürstendynastie der Greifenherzöge'') originating from Slavic roots, which in changing territorial and political division from the 12th to the 17th century *1630 - 1815 - Swedish Pomerania (''Schwedisch-Pommern''), a historical Swedish Dominion under the Swedish Crown, situated on what is now the Baltic coast of Germany and Poland *1653 - 1815 - Province of Pomerania (''Provinz Pommern''), a historical province of Brandenburg, later Brandenburg-Prussia *1815 - 1945 - Province of Pomerania (''Provinz Pommern''), a historical province of Prussia (''Preußen''), later Germany, formed after the Congress of Vienna from the Province of Pomerania, Swedish Pomerania and the northeastern part of Neumark. It consisted of Vorpommern, located west of the Oder River, and Hinterpommern. Pomerania's provincial capital was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stralsund Stralsund] (1720–1814) and [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Szczecin Stettin] (today's Szczecin, Poland). After World War II, the Soviet Union handed over the territories lying east of the Oder-Neisse line to Poland. The Western Allies confirmed this in the Potsdam conference. On the territory of Pomerania, located on both sides of the Oder River, today exist the Vorpommern part of the German federal state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as the West Pomeranian Voivodeship (''Zachodniopomorskie'') and, to a lesser extent, the Pomeranian Voivodeship (''Pomorskie'') in Poland. ==Pomerania - folk / national costumes== [http://folkcostume.blogspot.com/2017/01/costume-and-embroidery-of-pyritz.html Blog Website - Costume and Embroidery Pomerania of Roman K] {{Image|file=Pomerania_Prussia_Team-1.jpg |caption=Pommern Trachten - Pomerania traditional costumes|label=Pommern Trachten - Pomerania traditional costumes|size=m|align=l}} {{Image|file=Pomerania_Prussia_Team-2.jpg |caption=Pommersche Bäuerin - Pomeranian peasant/farmer woman|label=Pommersche Bäuerin - Pomeranian peasant/farmer woman, Pyritzer Weizeckertracht|size=m|align=c}} ==Tasks & To Do List== Team members are encouraged to volunteer by working on this list of tasks. *Add the Prussia, Pomerania sticker template to profiles of people born in Pomerania, Prussia.

==Welcome to the Prussia Team Page== This team is managed by the [[Project:Germany|Germany Project]]. Today part of Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Switzerland. Prussia (German: ''Preußen'') was a historically significant German state that originated in 1525. ===Team Goals=== :This Team was created to offer a place to collaborate on Prussia genealogy research. You can ask questions in the comments below or offer suggestions on new resources to attach to our resources list. :'''How Can You Help the Prussia Team?''' *There are extensive profile improvements that need to be done for this topic and we could really use your help. See '''[[#Profile Improvements|Profile Improvements]]''', below. *Members with knowledge of this topic can answer questions and offer guidance on this page, our Google Group and on G2G. *Ensure the information and links on this page are up-to-date (especially for archival and research site information) *Create new Space pages for region-specific geographical, topical, or other, that include images, history, and anything helpful for collaborating and helping other researchers. *Add the Prussia sticker template by province to each profile of a person born in Prussia. See more about the Prussia sticker and how to add it here: '''[[#Stickers and Templates|Stickers and Templates]]'''. ===Team Members=== :'''Team Leader: [[Thomas-29419|Steve Thomas]]'''. I am most interested in emigrants to South Australia in the mid-19th Century from Königreich Preußen, Königreich Hannover and Großherzogtum Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Prussian families include Heinrich, Pfeiffer and Schäfer. :Team members: *Anderson, Thom [[Anderson-23510|Connect with Thom]]: *Barron, Charlette [[Hoppe-226|Connect with Charlette]]: *Bartholome, Vernalee [[Bartholome-8|Connect with Vernalee]]: *Cartier, Miranda [[Hollenbeck-914|Connect with Miranda]]: *Cook, Margaret [[Moyer-671|Connect with Margaret]] : *Franks, Linda [[DeFrees-4|Connect with Linda]]: *Frye, Daniel [[Frye-1667|Connect with Daniel]]: *Greenwood, Steven [[Greenwood-3667|Connect with Steven]]: It appears that Pomerania is the origin of some of my paternal ancestors, particularly the Klitzke line, of which I also manage a [[Space:Klitzke Name Study|One Name Study]]. Places that are of interest in association with that surname include Pauzerin (Panzels?), Ueckermünde, Bärwalde (Barwice) in Kreis Neustettin, and whatever "Boratia" was (Borntin? also in Neustettin?). Other surnames are Schiefelbein (likely from Schievelbein, Pommern), as well as Kroll, Gleash, Wiatrok, Mittelsteadt, Post, Rädel and most recently Schmeer. *Gunther, Deb [[Langsdorf-34|Connect with Deb]]: *Gürth, Andy [[Gürth-8|Connect with Andy]]: I am German (i.e. native speaker) and have ancestors from Preußen (Prussia), Pommern (Pomerania), Posen (Poznan), Schlesien (Silesia), Sachsen (Saxony), Galizien (Galicia), Wolhynien (Volhynia, Volyn) as well as from Pfalz (Palatinate). To list them all by name here, would clearly go beyond the scope. Many of these ancestors emigrated in the 18th and 19th century to Canada and USA, a few to South America. Among the families who did not emigrate overseas, there were always shifts in European regions. *Haese, Kylie [[Haese-11|Connect with Kylie]]: I am interested in researching the surname Haese in Pomerania, Prussia.

The word '''Prussia''' ''(German: Preussen or Preußen; Polish: Prusy)'' for wikitree purposes and the purposes of this team, is referring to the ''Prussia'' in European history, which came under German rule. Prussia came under German and Polish rule in the middle ages. The Kingdom of Prussia ruled from 1701 by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Hohenzollern German royal dynasty House of Hohenzollern]. However Prussia was at different times throughout history a duchy, kingdom, region. These classifications and divisions can be confusing and distracting. Therefore this Prussia team is important to help create some clarity. It is therefore the mission of this team, to create pages to help understand Prussian history. To create profiles for people who were born, married and or died in Prussia. Finally, work towards a unified set of guidelines for the Prussia team, Germany project, and whole wikitree community to follow and refer to when adding and editing Prussian profiles. ===Maps=== {{Image|file=German_Roots_Images.jpg |caption=Historical Map of Prussia }} {{Image|file=German_Roots_Images-1.jpg |caption=Prussia Political map before 1905 }} ===History=== '''Prussia from Duchy (Electorate) of Brandenburg to Kingdom of Prussia and Republic'''

(the years of reign of the regents listed in the brackets) Burggraf (Castle count) ''[[Hohenzollern-47|Friedrich VI. von Nürnberg]]'', as Elector of Brandenburg ''[[Hohenzollern-47|Friedrich I.]]'' from 1415 until his death in 1440, broke the power of the nobility, ''[[Buren-35|Friedrich II. Eisenzahn]]'' (†1470) that of the cities, he won the Neumark and part of Lausitz (Lusatia). ''[[Hohenzollern-121|Johann Cicero]]'' (†1499) and ''[[Buren-16|Joachim I., Nestor]]'' (†1535) formed the sovereignty of the country. ''[[Hohenzollern-49|Joachim II.]]'' (†1571) made Brandenburg Protestant in 1539 and was enfeoffed Prussia by Poland in 1569. ''[[Hohenzollern-50|Johann Sigismund]]'' (†1620) acquired Kleve in 1614 and Ost-Preußen (East Prussia) in 1618. ''[[Hohenzollern-65|Friedrich Wilhelm, der Große Kurfürst]]'' (the Great Elector) from 1640-1688, acquired Hinter-Pommern, Halberstadt and Minden in 1648, won Prussia's sovereignty in the Swedish-Polish War (1655-60), pioneered state unity, left behind an orderly state of 110.000 qkm with 1.5 million inhabitants. In 1701, under Elector ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich III.]]'' (1688-1701) and later King ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]]'' (1701-1713), the Duchy of Prussia became a kingdom outside the German Empire and he gave the name '''Preußen''' to the Hohenzollern total state. King ''[[Hohenzollern-11|Friedrich Wilhelm I.]]'' (1713-40) filled the state treasury, created the Generaldirektorium (General Directorate) as a central financial authority in 1723, increased the army and acquired Geldern and Limburg in 1713, Stettin and Vor-Pommern up to the Peene River in 1720. ''[[Hohenzollern-7|Friedrich II., der Große]]'', called ''Friedrich der Große'' (the Great) (1740-86) won Schlesien (Silesia) through the 1st Silesian War (1740-42), claimed it in the 2nd Silesian War (1744-45) and in the Seven Years' War (1756-63), acquired Ost-Friesland (East Frisia) in 1744, West-Preußen (West Prussia) without Danzig and Thorn and the Netzedistrikt in 1772. Under ''[[Hohenzollern-61|Friedrich Wilhelm II.]]'' (1786-97) campaign against Holland in 1787 and France (1792-95). In the special peace of Basel in 1795 Prussia lost the territories on the left bank of the Rhine, acquired in 1793 Greater Poland with Danzig and Thorn, in 1795 Süd-Preußen (South Prussia), Neuost-Preußen (New East Prussia) and Neu-Schlesien (New Silesia) and in 1791 the Frankish principalities of Ansbach and Bayreuth. ''[[Hohenzollern-59|Friedrich Wilhelm III.]]'' (1797-1840) was defeated by Napoleon at the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806 and lost the lands west of the Elbe and the last Polish acquisitions in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807. On February 28, 1813, Prussia formed an alliance with Russia against Napoleon at Kalisch. This was followed by the wars of liberation against ''[[Bonaparte-1|Napoleon I.]]'' from 1813 to 1815 with the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig with its heavy losses and the final victory over [[Bonaparte-1|Napoleon Bonaparte]] at Waterloo. Through the 1st Peace of Paris in 1814, the Congress of Vienna and the 2nd Peace of Paris in 1815, Prussia was able to expand significantly in terms of territory and had 278.000 qkm and 10,4 million inhabitants. Germany's defeat in World War I in 1918 led to the German Revolution. The Hohenzollerns were overthrown and the Weimar Republic was established, thus bringing an end to the German monarchy and Prussian monarchy. With the Nazis in 1933, the darkest chapter of Prussian and German history began in the land of poets and thinkers. It ends with the senseless deaths of millions of people, an enormous movement of refugees within and from Europe, a state reorganization in Europe and the end of Prussia. February 25, 1947: The Allies Decide on the Final Dissolution of Prussia
The State of Prussia was finally dissolved by the four victorious powers of the Second World War by Act of the Allied Control Council No. 46 of February 25, 1947.
Prussia is now only a historical term. (to be continued) ===Culture=== If high and state culture is taken as representative of a general Prussian cultural history, then this is characterized in Prussia by different phases of flourishing and stagnation. On the whole, however, Prussia, especially in the beginnings of its history in the 17th century, belongs comparatively rather to the cultural desert areas in Central Europe. It is true that the Mark Brandenburg and East Prussia, the two core areas of the Brandenburg-Prussian state in the 17th century, already have an independent, regional cultural history, which in this context certainly produces sights worth seeing, such as the Cistercian monastery architecture in Brandenburg with Zinna, Lehnin and Chorin or the fascinating ensemble of the Marienburg on the Nogat in West Prussia as the residence of the Deutscher Orden (Teutonic Order). In terms of intellectual history, both territories also boast outstanding institutions as early as the 16th century, which certainly attained supra-regional significance with the founding of the university in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1506 as the Brandenburg state university and the University of Königsberg, founded in 1544 for the Duchy of Prussia. But for a long time in the 17th century, when the fusion of the core region of the Mark Brandenburg with the two territorial outposts in the west with Kleve, Mark and Ravensberg and in the east with East Prussia has long been completed in terms of state law, the emerging German middle power culturally represents rather a territory with few outstanding achievements. These include the garden city of Kleve, laid out in the 1650s by the Electorate of Brandenburg's governor in Kleve, Prince ''Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen (1604-79)'', the first German attempt at a landscape-forming park creation based on the Dutch model, with which the rising territorial power wanted to prove its claim to power in the west of the empire. After the Thirty Years' War, ''[[Hohenzollern-65|Friedrich Wilhelm, der Große Kurfürst]]'' (the Great Elector) initiates the development of the Berlin-Potsdam residential and cultural landscape, which, however, is only gradually to become one of the most outstanding ruling landscapes in the world. Of lasting importance for the cultural development of the "scattered land bush of the Holy Roman Empire" is the admission of French Huguenots to Brandenburg-Prussia. Although they were brought to the Hohenzollern state primarily for reasons of economic revitalization of the war-torn country, the French ferment had an impact not only on language development in Berlin, but also through numerous important artists and intellectuals such as the academy secretary ''Jean Henri Samuel Formey'', the ''Ancillon family'' of writers and civil servants, the ''Erman family'' of scholars, the master builders ''David and Friedrich Gilly'', and the Huguenot descendant ''[[Fontane-6|Theodor Fontane]]''. Although a systematic art and cultural collection policy already began under the ''Great Elector'', Prussia only began to gain cultural importance during the reign of ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]] (1657-1713)'', who otherwise came off less well in historiography. ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]]'', who had just been crowned the first king of Prussia, tried to systematically expand Prussia's cultural influence, not least to emphasize his own claim to power. Under his reign, Prussia began its cultural ascent, and in the 18th century it began to replace Electoral Saxony, which had been the leader until then, in the cultural hegemony of northern Germany. The list of intellectuals and scholars who moved to the Prussian court in Berlin is revealing. Strikingly, many of them were scholars who were ostracized elsewhere as innovators of thought and can only be presented here in a selection that includes the most important personalities: In 1686, during the reign of the ''Great Elector'', ''Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694)'' came to Berlin from Stockholm as Brandenburg court historiographer, after all the founder of German natural law as well as the most important teacher of constitutional and international law in the age of the early Enlightenment in Germany. In 1690, the philosopher ''Christian Thomasius (1655-1728)'', who came from Leipzig, was one of the intellectual founding fathers of the University of Halle, established in 1690-94, which was not only to become the central university for the Prussian state and its need for capable, legally trained state officials, but was also to become one of the most progressive universities of the Age of Enlightenment in Germany in general. In 1707, ''Christian Wolff (1679-1754)'', expelled from Leipzig, an even more important philosopher, succeeds Thomasius as a professor at the University of Halle. In 1691, the pietist preacher and theologian ''Philipp Jakob Spener (1635-1705)'' moves from Dresden to Berlin, where his reform program ensures a pietistic overcoming of orthodox Lutheranism. In 1692, the scholar, court official and first chancellor of the newly founded University of Halle, ''Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff (1626-92)'', arrived from Altenburg. In the same year, Spener's student and Protestant-Pietist theologian and educator ''August Hermann Francke (1663-1727)'' came from Leipzig to establish in Halle, beginning in 1698, the Franckeschen Stiftungen (Francke Foundations), an exemplary institution for the education and training of boys and (revolutionary for the time) girls as well. In 1694, ''Andreas Schlüter (ca.1660-1714)'', a native of Danzig and probably the most important German architect of the turn of the century, moved from Warsaw to Berlin around 1700, not least to work on the expansion of the Prussian residence and capital Berlin and Potsdam. With the construction of the Berliner Stadtschloss (City Palace), one of the most important buildings of its kind north of the Alps in the Baroque era, which was overdimensioned in view of the political and economic strength of Prussia at that time, he set a first cultural-historical sign beyond the borders of the young kingdom. In the same year, the eminent chemist and physician and later personal physician to the soldier king, ''Georg Ernst Stahl (1660-1734)'', was drawn from Hanover to Prussia. In 1700, one of the greatest universal geniuses of his time, the philosopher ''Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716)'', is attracted from Hanover to the Prussian court and to the conception of a contemporary Prussian Academy of Sciences, which will be extremely important for the Prussian-German history of science and will become one of the great European academies. Some of these cultural institutions of the early Kingdom of Prussia were initiated by the wife of the first Prussian king, ''[[Hannover-35|Sophie Charlotte (1668-1705)]]'', a native of Hanover. In contrast to her husband, she was interested in art and culture beyond the state's need for representation and established an ambitious court theater and a stimulating musical culture with composers such as ''Giuseppe Torelli (1658-1709)'' in her Charlottenburg Palace, the first Prussian seat of the arts. The accession to power of the soldier king ''[[Hohenzollern-11|Friedrich Wilhelm I.]] (1688-1740)'' meant a severe slump for culture and the promotion of art in Prussia as a whole. Due to his father's complete over-indebtedness of the young monarchy, the Hohenzollern king, who was one-sidedly oriented toward economic "making a profit" and the military strengthening of his state, reduced all institutions in the areas of art and culture that he considered unnecessary. In contrast, the soldier king supported other scientific institutions that were important for the economic advancement of the state, such as the first German university chair for economics in 1727. ==Research Help and Regional Resources== *[[:Space:German_Roots_Project_Resources|German Roots Project Resources]] page is a new and updated list.

(the years of reign of the regents listed in the brackets) Burggraf (Castle count) ''[[Hohenzollern-47|Friedrich VI. von Nürnberg]]'', as Elector of Brandenburg ''[[Hohenzollern-47|Friedrich I.]]'' from 1415 until his death in 1440, broke the power of the nobility, ''[[Buren-35|Friedrich II. Eisenzahn]]'' (†1470) that of the cities, he won the Neumark and part of Lausitz (Lusatia). ''[[Hohenzollern-121|Johann Cicero]]'' (†1499) and ''[[Buren-16|Joachim I., Nestor]]'' (†1535) formed the sovereignty of the country. ''[[Hohenzollern-49|Joachim II.]]'' (†1571) made Brandenburg Protestant in 1539 and was enfeoffed Prussia by Poland in 1569. ''[[Hohenzollern-50|Johann Sigismund]]'' (†1620) acquired Kleve in 1614 and Ost-Preußen (East Prussia) in 1618. ''[[Hohenzollern-65|Friedrich Wilhelm, der Große Kurfürst]]'' (the Great Elector) from 1640-1688, acquired Hinter-Pommern, Halberstadt and Minden in 1648, won Prussia's sovereignty in the Swedish-Polish War (1655-60), pioneered state unity, left behind an orderly state of 110.000 qkm with 1.5 million inhabitants. In 1701, under Elector ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich III.]]'' (1688-1701) and later King ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]]'' (1701-1713), the Duchy of Prussia became a kingdom outside the German Empire and he gave the name '''Preußen''' to the Hohenzollern total state. King ''[[Hohenzollern-11|Friedrich Wilhelm I.]]'' (1713-40) filled the state treasury, created the Generaldirektorium (General Directorate) as a central financial authority in 1723, increased the army and acquired Geldern and Limburg in 1713, Stettin and Vor-Pommern up to the Peene River in 1720. ''[[Hohenzollern-7|Friedrich II., der Große]]'', called ''Friedrich der Große'' (the Great) (1740-86) won Schlesien (Silesia) through the 1st Silesian War (1740-42), claimed it in the 2nd Silesian War (1744-45) and in the Seven Years' War (1756-63), acquired Ost-Friesland (East Frisia) in 1744, West-Preußen (West Prussia) without Danzig and Thorn and the Netzedistrikt in 1772. Under ''[[Hohenzollern-61|Friedrich Wilhelm II.]]'' (1786-97) campaign against Holland in 1787 and France (1792-95). In the special peace of Basel in 1795 Prussia lost the territories on the left bank of the Rhine, acquired in 1793 Greater Poland with Danzig and Thorn, in 1795 Süd-Preußen (South Prussia), Neuost-Preußen (New East Prussia) and Neu-Schlesien (New Silesia) and in 1791 the Frankish principalities of Ansbach and Bayreuth. ''[[Hohenzollern-59|Friedrich Wilhelm III.]]'' (1797-1840) was defeated by Napoleon at the Battle of Jena and Auerstedt in 1806 and lost the lands west of the Elbe and the last Polish acquisitions in the Peace of Tilsit in 1807. On February 28, 1813, Prussia formed an alliance with Russia against Napoleon at Kalisch. This was followed by the wars of liberation against ''[[Bonaparte-1|Napoleon I.]]'' from 1813 to 1815 with the Battle of the Nations at Leipzig with its heavy losses and the final victory over [[Bonaparte-1|Napoleon Bonaparte]] at Waterloo. Through the 1st Peace of Paris in 1814, the Congress of Vienna and the 2nd Peace of Paris in 1815, Prussia was able to expand significantly in terms of territory and had 278.000 qkm and 10,4 million inhabitants. Germany's defeat in World War I in 1918 led to the German Revolution. The Hohenzollerns were overthrown and the Weimar Republic was established, thus bringing an end to the German monarchy and Prussian monarchy. With the Nazis in 1933, the darkest chapter of Prussian and German history began in the land of poets and thinkers. It ends with the senseless deaths of millions of people, an enormous movement of refugees within and from Europe, a state reorganization in Europe and the end of Prussia. February 25, 1947: The Allies Decide on the Final Dissolution of Prussia
The State of Prussia was finally dissolved by the four victorious powers of the Second World War by Act of the Allied Control Council No. 46 of February 25, 1947.
Prussia is now only a historical term. (to be continued) ===Culture=== If high and state culture is taken as representative of a general Prussian cultural history, then this is characterized in Prussia by different phases of flourishing and stagnation. On the whole, however, Prussia, especially in the beginnings of its history in the 17th century, belongs comparatively rather to the cultural desert areas in Central Europe. It is true that the Mark Brandenburg and East Prussia, the two core areas of the Brandenburg-Prussian state in the 17th century, already have an independent, regional cultural history, which in this context certainly produces sights worth seeing, such as the Cistercian monastery architecture in Brandenburg with Zinna, Lehnin and Chorin or the fascinating ensemble of the Marienburg on the Nogat in West Prussia as the residence of the Deutscher Orden (Teutonic Order). In terms of intellectual history, both territories also boast outstanding institutions as early as the 16th century, which certainly attained supra-regional significance with the founding of the university in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1506 as the Brandenburg state university and the University of Königsberg, founded in 1544 for the Duchy of Prussia. But for a long time in the 17th century, when the fusion of the core region of the Mark Brandenburg with the two territorial outposts in the west with Kleve, Mark and Ravensberg and in the east with East Prussia has long been completed in terms of state law, the emerging German middle power culturally represents rather a territory with few outstanding achievements. These include the garden city of Kleve, laid out in the 1650s by the Electorate of Brandenburg's governor in Kleve, Prince ''Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen (1604-79)'', the first German attempt at a landscape-forming park creation based on the Dutch model, with which the rising territorial power wanted to prove its claim to power in the west of the empire. After the Thirty Years' War, ''[[Hohenzollern-65|Friedrich Wilhelm, der Große Kurfürst]]'' (the Great Elector) initiates the development of the Berlin-Potsdam residential and cultural landscape, which, however, is only gradually to become one of the most outstanding ruling landscapes in the world. Of lasting importance for the cultural development of the "scattered land bush of the Holy Roman Empire" is the admission of French Huguenots to Brandenburg-Prussia. Although they were brought to the Hohenzollern state primarily for reasons of economic revitalization of the war-torn country, the French ferment had an impact not only on language development in Berlin, but also through numerous important artists and intellectuals such as the academy secretary ''Jean Henri Samuel Formey'', the ''Ancillon family'' of writers and civil servants, the ''Erman family'' of scholars, the master builders ''David and Friedrich Gilly'', and the Huguenot descendant ''[[Fontane-6|Theodor Fontane]]''. Although a systematic art and cultural collection policy already began under the ''Great Elector'', Prussia only began to gain cultural importance during the reign of ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]] (1657-1713)'', who otherwise came off less well in historiography. ''[[VonHohenzollern-2|Friedrich I.]]'', who had just been crowned the first king of Prussia, tried to systematically expand Prussia's cultural influence, not least to emphasize his own claim to power. Under his reign, Prussia began its cultural ascent, and in the 18th century it began to replace Electoral Saxony, which had been the leader until then, in the cultural hegemony of northern Germany. The list of intellectuals and scholars who moved to the Prussian court in Berlin is revealing. Strikingly, many of them were scholars who were ostracized elsewhere as innovators of thought and can only be presented here in a selection that includes the most important personalities: In 1686, during the reign of the ''Great Elector'', ''Samuel Pufendorf (1632-1694)'' came to Berlin from Stockholm as Brandenburg court historiographer, after all the founder of German natural law as well as the most important teacher of constitutional and international law in the age of the early Enlightenment in Germany. In 1690, the philosopher ''Christian Thomasius (1655-1728)'', who came from Leipzig, was one of the intellectual founding fathers of the University of Halle, established in 1690-94, which was not only to become the central university for the Prussian state and its need for capable, legally trained state officials, but was also to become one of the most progressive universities of the Age of Enlightenment in Germany in general. In 1707, ''Christian Wolff (1679-1754)'', expelled from Leipzig, an even more important philosopher, succeeds Thomasius as a professor at the University of Halle. In 1691, the pietist preacher and theologian ''Philipp Jakob Spener (1635-1705)'' moves from Dresden to Berlin, where his reform program ensures a pietistic overcoming of orthodox Lutheranism. In 1692, the scholar, court official and first chancellor of the newly founded University of Halle, ''Veit Ludwig von Seckendorff (1626-92)'', arrived from Altenburg. In the same year, Spener's student and Protestant-Pietist theologian and educator ''August Hermann Francke (1663-1727)'' came from Leipzig to establish in Halle, beginning in 1698, the Franckeschen Stiftungen (Francke Foundations), an exemplary institution for the education and training of boys and (revolutionary for the time) girls as well. In 1694, ''Andreas Schlüter (ca.1660-1714)'', a native of Danzig and probably the most important German architect of the turn of the century, moved from Warsaw to Berlin around 1700, not least to work on the expansion of the Prussian residence and capital Berlin and Potsdam. With the construction of the Berliner Stadtschloss (City Palace), one of the most important buildings of its kind north of the Alps in the Baroque era, which was overdimensioned in view of the political and economic strength of Prussia at that time, he set a first cultural-historical sign beyond the borders of the young kingdom. In the same year, the eminent chemist and physician and later personal physician to the soldier king, ''Georg Ernst Stahl (1660-1734)'', was drawn from Hanover to Prussia. In 1700, one of the greatest universal geniuses of his time, the philosopher ''Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716)'', is attracted from Hanover to the Prussian court and to the conception of a contemporary Prussian Academy of Sciences, which will be extremely important for the Prussian-German history of science and will become one of the great European academies. Some of these cultural institutions of the early Kingdom of Prussia were initiated by the wife of the first Prussian king, ''[[Hannover-35|Sophie Charlotte (1668-1705)]]'', a native of Hanover. In contrast to her husband, she was interested in art and culture beyond the state's need for representation and established an ambitious court theater and a stimulating musical culture with composers such as ''Giuseppe Torelli (1658-1709)'' in her Charlottenburg Palace, the first Prussian seat of the arts. The accession to power of the soldier king ''[[Hohenzollern-11|Friedrich Wilhelm I.]] (1688-1740)'' meant a severe slump for culture and the promotion of art in Prussia as a whole. Due to his father's complete over-indebtedness of the young monarchy, the Hohenzollern king, who was one-sidedly oriented toward economic "making a profit" and the military strengthening of his state, reduced all institutions in the areas of art and culture that he considered unnecessary. In contrast, the soldier king supported other scientific institutions that were important for the economic advancement of the state, such as the first German university chair for economics in 1727. ==Research Help and Regional Resources== *[[:Space:German_Roots_Project_Resources|German Roots Project Resources]] page is a new and updated list.

It has an area of 19,846 square kilometers (7,663 sq mi) and about four million inhabitants. The city of Mainz functions as the state capital. {{Image|file=Thomas-10705.png |size= 100px|align=c}} The state of Rhineland-Palatinate was established on 30 August 1946. It was formed from the northern part of the '''French Occupation Zone''', which included parts of Bavaria (the Rhenish Palatinate), the southern parts of the '''Prussian Rhine Province''' (including the District of Birkenfeld, which formerly belonged to Oldenburg), parts of the '''Prussian Province of Nassau''' (see Hesse-Nassau), and parts of '''Hesse-Darmstadt''' (Rhinehessen on the western bank of the Rhine). The state constitution was confirmed by referendum on 18 May 1947. Rhineland-Palatinate is divided into 24 districts, formerly grouped into the three administrative regions: Koblenz, Trier and Rheinhessen-Pfalz. Since 2000, the administrative regions execute their authority over the whole state, i.e., the ADD Trier oversees all schools. '''Emigration''' Rhineland-Palatinate has supplied immigrants to many parts of the world. The names of the villages of New Paltz, Palatine Bridge and German Flatts, New York, and Palatine, Illinois, attest to settlements of Palatine Germans. The Hunsrückischen dialect in Brazil also bears testimony to an immigrant community. The Pennsylvania Dutch spoken by the Amish in the United States is (among other dialects) derived from the German dialect spoken in the Rhineland-Palatinate, which many Palatine refugees brought to the colony in the early decades of the 18th century. Certain colonies in the United States were settled by major groups of poor Palatines—then refugees in England—passage paid for by Queen Anne to reduce the number of impoverished families who had taken refuge in London. In 1710 the English used ten ships to transport nearly 3,000 Germans to the colony of New York. Many died en route, as they had been weakened by disease. They were settled in work camps along the Hudson River, where they developed naval stores for the English to work off their passage. Churches set up in both the East and West Camps provided some of the earliest population records in New York. In 1723 the first hundred heads of families were allowed to acquire land west of Little Falls, New York along the Mohawk River, in what was called the Burnetsfield Patent after the governor. This became Herkimer County. The Germans and their descendants were important in the defense of the Mohawk Valley during the American Revolutionary War. New Bern is one of the earliest North Carolina colonies settled in 1710 by about 400 Palatines (650 left Germany, but about half died in passage) and 100 Swiss. This venture was orchestrated by the Swiss-born Christoph von Graffenried after purchasing more than 19,000 acres (7,700 ha) from the British Proprietors of the Carolinas. In the 19th century, there was a substantial numbers of emigrants from the area around Trier, many of whom settled in Wisconsin. '''Other Regions Making Up the State of Rhineland-Palatinate''' The '''Prussian Rhine Province''' (German: Rheinprovinz), also known as Rhenish Prussia (Rheinpreußen) or the Rhineland (Rheinland), was the westernmost province of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Free State of Prussia, within the German Reich from 1822–1946. It was created from the provinces of the Lower Rhine and Jülich-Cleves-Berg. Its capital was Koblenz and in 1939 had eight million inhabitants. The Province of Hohenzollern was militarily associated with the Oberpräsident of the Rhine Province. The Rhine Province is bounded on the north by the Netherlands, on the east by the Prussian provinces of Westphalia and Hesse-Nassau and the grand duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt, on the southeast by the Palatinate (controlled by Bavaria), on the south and southwest by Lorraine, and on the west by Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands. The '''Province of Hesse-Nassau''' (German: Provinz Hessen-Nassau) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1868 to 1918, then a province of the Free State of Prussia until 1944. Hesse-Nassau was created as a consequence of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 by combining the previously independent Hesse-Kassel (or Hesse-Cassel), the Duchy of Nassau, and the Free City of Frankfurt, areas gained from the Kingdom of Bavaria, and areas gained from the Grand Duchy of Hesse (Hesse-Darmstadt; including part of the former Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg). These regions were combined to form the province Hesse-Nassau in 1868 with its capital in Kassel and redivided into two administrative regions: Kassel and Wiesbaden. On 1 April 1929, the Free State of Waldeck became a part of Hesse-Nassau after a popular vote and became part of the Kassel administrative region. In 1935, the Nazi government abolished (de facto) all states, so the provinces held little meaning. In 1944, Hesse-Nassau was split into the provinces of Kurhessen (capital in Kassel) and Nassau (capital in Wiesbaden). In 1945, after the end of World War II, these two provinces were merged and combined with the neighbouring Hesse-Darmstadt to form the northern and western part of the newly-founded state of Hesse. Parts of Nassau were also moved into the Rhineland-Palatinate. '''Rhenish Hesse''' or '''Rhine-Hesse''' (German: Rheinhessen) was once part of the former People's State of Hesse (previously Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt) located west of the Rhine and now part of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is a hilly countryside largely devoted to vineyards, therefore it is also called the "land of the thousand hills." Its larger towns include: Mainz, Worms, Bingen, Alzey, Nieder-Olm and Ingelheim. Many inhabitants commute to work in Mainz, Wiesbaden, or Frankfurt. '''The Palatinate''' (German: die Pfalz, Pfälzer dialect: Palz), historically also Rhenish Palatinate (German: Rheinpfalz), is a region in Southwestern Germany. It occupies more than a quarter of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). Historically in union with Bavaria, the Palatinate covers an area of 5,451 square kilometres (2,105 sq mi) with about 1.4m inhabitants.

'''History of The Palatinate''' The former Celtic region was conquered by the Roman Empire under Emperor Augustus about 12 B.C., becoming part of the Germania Superior province. During the decay of the Empire, Alamanni tribes settled here. Their territory was conquered by Francia under King Clovis I about 496. From 511 onwards the area belonged to the eastern part of Frankish Austrasia, that—as Rhenish Franconia—became part of East Francia according to the 843 Treaty of Verdun. From the Middle Ages until the end of the 18th century, the Palatinate was divided into several large and small states. The most important of these was the Electorate of the Palatinate (Kurpfalz), a number of territories formerly held by the Counts Palatine (Pfalzgrafen) of Lotharingia. In the late 12th century the Counts Palatine had achieved the status of a Prince-elector (Kurfürst), i.e. one of the seven nobles with the privilege of electing the King of the Romans, confirmed by the Golden Bull of 1356. In 1214 the Bavarian House of Wittelsbach was deeded these estates, which they ruled until 1918, together with the collateral branch of Palatinate-Zweibrücken from 1410, until the re-unification with Bavaria under Elector Maximilian I Joseph in 1799. The major ecclesiastical territory in the region was the Bishopric of Speyer. The Imperial city of Landau joined the Alsacien Décapole in 1521, but was seized by France after the [[:Category: Thirty Years' War|Thirty Years' War]]. During the French Revolution, the region was occupied by the forces of the French First Republic in 1794 and after the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio incorporated into the département of Mont-Tonnerre. With the end of the Napoleonic Wars, a significant stretch of land on the left bank of the Rhine, which included greater parts of the former Electorate of the Palatinate, became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1816, according to the Final Act of the Vienna Congress. Although the territory was geographically separate from Bavaria, it was ruled together with Bavaria as a single state for the next 130 years. Since 1808, the administrative regions in Bavaria had been named after their main rivers. Thus, the region, after its incorporation into Bavaria, was officially called the Circle of Rhine (Rheinkreis). In 1835, the romantic-minded King Ludwig I of Bavaria ordered the administrative regions to be named by historical allusions, so the region officially became the "Palatinate" (Pfalz). The historic Electorate of the Palatinate was centered on the right bank of the Rhine with Heidelberg and Mannheim as its capitals, while the new "Palatinate" established in 1815/16 was solely on the left bank of the Rhine, and included territories that had never been part of the historic Palatinate. In order not to confuse the new Palatinate with the historic one (and with the Upper Palatinate), the name Rhenish Palatinate was common, but never official. The term Rhenish Bavaria (Rheinbayern) can also be found sometimes in older maps. The French had introduced their system of administration and the Code Napoleon in the Palatinate. The Bavarian government preserved both after 1816, which gave the Palatinate a distinct legal status within the Bavarian kingdom. The royal family tried to symbolize the unity with Bavaria by erecting a royal palace in Edenkoben and by the restoration of Speyer Cathedral under direct supervision of King Ludwig I himself. The town Ludwigshafen was named after the king. On the other hand the Palatinate's representatives to the common Bavarian Parliament always prided themselves of their origin from a more progressive region and tried to expand the liberalism, which the French had introduced in the Palatinate, to the whole kingdom. During the revolution of 1848, a separatist movement tried to establish a "Palatinate Republic" which collapsed under a bloody Prussian military intervention. The union persisted after Bavaria became part of the German Empire in 1871, and even after the Wittelsbach dynasty was deposed and Bavaria became a free state of the Weimar Republic in 1918. After World War I, French troops occupied the Palatinate under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The western districts of Sankt Ingbert and Homburg (Saarpfalz) were separated from the Bavarian Palatinate and became part of the newly established Saarland, which was governed by the League of Nations. In a clear breach of the treaty the French in 1923 encouraged a separatist movement for a Rhenish Republic in the remainder of the Rhenish Palatinate and the Prussian Rhineland. The Bavarian government reacted sharply and even had the leading separatist Franz Josef Heinz assassinated by a squad under the command of Edgar Julius Jung at the Wittelsbacher Hof in Speyer in January 1924. In February 1924 members of the separatist movement were killed in a shooting in Pirmasens. Also in February 1924, a treaty between Bavaria and the inter-allied commission of the Rhineland (the supreme council of the Allied occupation forces) recognized and reassured the Palatinate being a part of Bavaria. The union with Bavaria was finally dissolved following the reorganization of German states after World War II during the Allied occupation of Germany. Whereas Bavaria was part of the US occupation Zone, the Palatinate was occupied by French Forces. The French reorganized their occupation Zone by founding new states and, in 1947, the Palatinate was combined with Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen), the former parts of the People's State of Hesse left of the Rhine, and the southern part of the Prussian Rhine Province to form the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

The resulting tension led to the Austro-Prussian War Schleswig-Holstein as a unified state was created after the Prussian victory in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Prior to that it was a land of changing allegiances, cultures, and divided into Schleswig and Holstein. Beginning early 12th century the Duchy of Holstein was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The areas were twice united under the Danish monarchy, but not incorporated into the Danish state. In 1848, Frederick VII proclaimed the complete union of Schleswig with Denmark sparking the predominantly German population of both Duchies to rebell culminating in the German Confederation taking over the two Duchies. The 1852 Treaty of London re-established the Duchies' personal union with Denmark. In 1863, Denmark again tried to incorporate Schleswig into the state proper, and Prussia and Austria declared war. In 1920 the north part of Schleswig returned to Denmark. In 1937, the city of Lübeck was incorporated into the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. *[https://wwwp.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Schleswig-Holstein_Timeline FamilySearch]: Schleswig-Holstein Timeline *[https://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/places/north-europe/germany/schleswigholstein/history Info Please]: Schleswig-Holstein: History *[http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/germany/xslh.html Zum.de] *[https://wiki2.org/en/History_of_Schleswig-Holstein Wiki2.org]: History of Schleswig-Holstein *[https://www.rootdigger.de/History.htm Rootdigger]: History *[https://www.britannica.com/event/Schleswig-Holstein-question Britannica]: The Schleswig-Holstein question *[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Encyclopedia_Americana_(1920)/Schleswig-Holstein The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)]: Schleswig-Holstein *[https://archive.org/details/schleswigholstei01dice/page/n6 Archive.org]: The Schleswig-Holstein War (book) *[https://sites.google.com/site/ancestorsinschleswigholstein/kreis-dithmarschen/history Google]: Historical Review of the Dithmarschen Region of Schleswig-Holstein *[http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships/linienschiffe/schleswigholstein/history.html German-Navy.de] ===Culture=== :Germany has a number of different cultures.

The resulting tension led to the Austro-Prussian War Schleswig-Holstein as a unified state was created after the Prussian victory in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Prior to that it was a land of changing allegiances, cultures, and divided into Schleswig and Holstein. Beginning early 12th century the Duchy of Holstein was part of the Holy Roman Empire. The areas were twice united under the Danish monarchy, but not incorporated into the Danish state. In 1848, Frederick VII proclaimed the complete union of Schleswig with Denmark sparking the predominantly German population of both Duchies to rebell culminating in the German Confederation taking over the two Duchies. The 1852 Treaty of London re-established the Duchies' personal union with Denmark. In 1863, Denmark again tried to incorporate Schleswig into the state proper, and Prussia and Austria declared war. In 1920 the north part of Schleswig returned to Denmark. In 1937, the city of Lübeck was incorporated into the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. *[https://wwwp.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Schleswig-Holstein_Timeline FamilySearch]: Schleswig-Holstein Timeline *[https://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/places/north-europe/germany/schleswigholstein/history Info Please]: Schleswig-Holstein: History *[http://www.zum.de/whkmla/region/germany/xslh.html Zum.de] *[https://wiki2.org/en/History_of_Schleswig-Holstein Wiki2.org]: History of Schleswig-Holstein *[https://www.rootdigger.de/History.htm Rootdigger]: History *[https://www.britannica.com/event/Schleswig-Holstein-question Britannica]: The Schleswig-Holstein question *[https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Encyclopedia_Americana_(1920)/Schleswig-Holstein The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)]: Schleswig-Holstein *[https://archive.org/details/schleswigholstei01dice/page/n6 Archive.org]: The Schleswig-Holstein War (book) *[https://sites.google.com/site/ancestorsinschleswigholstein/kreis-dithmarschen/history Google]: Historical Review of the Dithmarschen Region of Schleswig-Holstein *[http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships/linienschiffe/schleswigholstein/history.html German-Navy.de] ===Culture=== :Germany has a number of different cultures.

[[Category:Haese-11 GP]] '''Explanation about the agreed structure for regional categories used for locations in Germany''' Please also read the info [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Germany_Project_Category_Guidelines about the guidelines for German project categories] '''1) Lowest level (city/town/borough) structure''' Germany will be following (for the lowest level) the , structure used in many other countries as well. '''2) Naming convention''' Following the WikiTree guidelines "to use their conventions instead of yours" it is mandatory to use the German spelling instead of the English or any other foreign language spelling, so use "Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen" and not "Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia" or "Keulen, Duitsland"! However, unlike location fields which use locations contemporary to the time in question (historical place names), regional categories are usually different and dependent on the country in question. For instance, German regional categories use modern locations. So even though a 1907 birth location might be "Köln, Rheinprovinz", the category for the profile would be the modern "Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen". Other countries may have adopted different guidelines. For instance, England, Ireland and Poland use a reference year of 1900. Consult the Category or Project for the country in question to see if it has a particular guideline. '''3) No mixing of languages in categories''' Be consistent in language throughout the category statement. Taking German and English as an example, use "Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen" but do NOT use "Köln, North Rhine-Westphalia". '''4) Use the German alphabet''' Anywhere in WikiTree, use the character set of the language being used at the time. For instance, for locations being expressed in German, this would include the proper use of the umlaut (ä Ä ö Ö ü Ü) and Eszett (ß). See this page for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_umlaut Please note that all modern computers/keyboards can emulate those special characters. See this URL for more information: http://www.nthuleen.com/teach/misc/typingumlauts.html '''5) Ambiguous locations in a state''' If there is more than one regional category with the same city name in the same state, for instance, "Lövenich, Nordrhein-Westfalen", then add a unique identifier (usually the next higher regional category) in parentheses, "Lövenich (Köln), Nordrhein-Westfalen" and "Lövenich (Erkelenz), Nordrhein-Westfalen". '''6) Structure to follow''' * Germany ** *** Districts and Independent Cities of from here on it should link to the structure in German, meaning the relevant German districts and independent cities should point to "Districts and Independent Cities of " (and to the higher category in German at the same time) → see [[Space:Struktur_und_wie_man_regionale_Kategorien_benutzen_sollte|German structure]] following the links to the structure in German {{Image|file=Structure_and_how_to_use_regional_categories_for_Germany.png |caption=Administrative divisions of Germany }} Explanation: '''Governmental districts (German: Regierungsbezirke)''' The large states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Saxony are divided into governmental districts, or in German: Regierungsbezirke. ''They aren't used in our hierarchy of categories!'' '''Districts (German: Kreise)''' The Districts of Germany (German: Kreise) are administrative units used in Germany for local Governments, and every state except the city-states of Berlin, Hamburg, and Bremen consists of "rural districts" (German: Landkreise), District-free Towns/Cities (German: Kreisfreie Städte, in Baden-Württemberg also called "urban districts", or in German: Stadtkreise), cities that are districts in their own right, or local associations of a special kind (German: Kommunalverbände besonderer Art). The state Free Hanseatic City of Bremen consists of two urban districts, while Berlin and Hamburg are states and urban districts at the same time. As of 2011, there are 295 "Landkreise" (rural districts) and 107 "Kreisfreie Städte" (urban districts), making 402 districts altogether. In 2010 only three "Kommunalverbände besonderer Art" (local associations of a special kind) exist: - "District of Hanover". Formed in 2001 out of the previous rural district of Hanover and the district-free city of Hanover. - "Regionalverband Saarbrücken" (district association Saarbrücken). Formed in 2008 out of the predecessor organization Stadtverband Saarbrücken (city association Saarbrücken), which was already formed in 1974. - "City region of Aachen". Formed in 2009 out of the previous rural district of Aachen and the district-free city of Aachen. ''They represent the lowest of the top level categories used in our hierarchy of categories! There shouldn't be (in all top level categories) any profiles listed in those top level categories. The only possible exception is for those cases where the exact location (town/municipality) is unknown.'' '''Municipalities (Gemeinden)''' Municipalities (Gemeinden): Every rural district and every Amt is subdivided into municipalities, while every urban district is a municipality in its own right. There are (as of 6 March 2009) 12,141 municipalities, which are the smallest administrative units in Germany. Cities and towns are municipalities as well, also having city rights or town rights. '''7) Examples''' * Germany ** States of Germany *** North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany **** Districts and Independent Cities of North Rhine-Westphalia *** Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany **** Districts and Independent Cities of Rhineland-Palatinate *** Berlin, Germany **** Boroughs of Berlin ← as Berlin is a State and also a city it has Boroughs below that are all in German and should just point here to this special category '''8) Find the next higher category of your town''' a) Use [http://gov.genealogy.net/search/index GOV] and enter the place name then click search. Eg "Duisburg" b) Select the correct displayed entry (check in which state & country it is, use the map as well) c) Select those with a postal code as they are towns/cities. Eg [http://gov.genealogy.net/item/show/DUIURGJO31JK Duisburg] d) Scroll down to "Superordinate objects" and check the next higher object. Eg Düsseldorf (administrative district). Eg Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf e) Skip the administrative district (German Regierungsbezirk) and go one level higher whilst checking for the valid date. Eg Nordrhein-Westfalen (federal state) f) Point your new category to this higher category If you're unsure whether you found the correct entry to link to (or that one is even still missing) then please post it to G2G or in the feedback/comment section here

[[Project:Germany|Germany project page]]|[[Space:Germany Regions Team|Germany Regions Team Page]]|[[Space:Bavaria_Team|Bavaria_Team Page]] '''The stem duchy of Bavaria''' (6th century - 907) The history of Bavaria stretches from its earliest settlement and its formation as a stem duchy in the 6th century through its inclusion in the Holy Roman Empires to its status as an independent kingdom and, finally, as a large and significant Bundesland (state) of the modern Federal Republic of Germany. '''Older stem duchy''' (Bavaria and the Agilolfings under Frankish overlordship) The origins of the older Bavarian duchy can be traced to the year 551/555. In his Getica the chronicler Jordanes writes: "That area of the Swabians has the Bavarii in the east, the Franks in the west ..." Until the end of the first duchy all rulers descended from the family of the Agilolfings. The Bavarians then colonised the area from the March of the Nordgau along the Naab river (the later Upper Palatinate) up to the Enns in the east and southward across the Brenner Pass to the Upper Adige in present-day South Tyrol. The first documented duke was Garibald, a scion of the Frankish Agilolfings, who ruled from 555 onwards as largely independent Merovingian vassals. On the eastern border changes occurred with the departure of the East Germanic Lombard tribes from the Pannonian basin to northern Italy (568) and the succession of the Avars, as well as with the settlement of West Slavic Czechs on the adjacent territory beyond the Bohemian Forest at about the same time. Around 743 the Bavarian duke Odilo vassalised the Slavic princes of Carantania (roughly corresponding with the later March of Carinthia), who had asked him for protection against the invading Avars. The residence of the largely independent Agilolfing dukes was then Regensburg, the former Roman Castra Regina, on the Danube river. During Christianization, Bishop Corbinian laid the foundations for the later Diocese of Freising before 724; Saint Kilian in the 7th century had been a missionary of the Franconian territory in the north, then ruled by the Dukes of Thuringia, where Boniface founded the Diocese of Würzburg in 742. In the adjacent Alamannic (Swabian) lands west of the Lech river, Augsburg was a bishop's seat. When Boniface established the Diocese of Passau in 739, he could already build on local Early Christian traditions. In the south, Saint Rupert had founded in 696 the Diocese of Salzburg, probably after he had baptized Duke Theodo of Bavaria at his court in Regensburg, becoming the "Apostle of Bavaria". In 798 Pope Leo III created the Bavarian ecclesiastical province with Salzburg as metropolitan seat and Regensburg, Passau, Freising and Säben (later Brixen) as suffragan dioceses. With the rise of the Frankish Empire under the Carolingian dynasty, the autonomy of the Bavarian dukes under the Merovingians was terminated: In 716 the Carolingians had incorporated the Franconian lands in the north formerly held by the Dukes of Thuringia, whereby the bishops of Würzburg gained a dominant position. In the west, the Carolingian mayor of the palace Carloman had suppressed the last Alamannic revolt at the 746 Blood court at Cannstatt. The last tribal stem duchy to be incorporated was Bavaria in 788, after Duke Tassilo III had tried in vain to maintain his independence through an alliance with the Lombards. The conquest of the Lombard Kingdom by Charlemagne entailed the fall of Tassilo, who was deposed in 788. Bavaria was then administrated by Frankish prefects. '''Younger stem duchy''' (The Duchy during the Carolingian period) In his 817 Ordinatio Imperii, Charlemagne's son and successor Emperor Louis the Pious tried to maintain the unity of the Carolingian Empire: while imperial authority upon his death was to pass to his eldest son Lothair I, the younger brothers were to receive subordinate realms. From 825 Louis the German styled himself "King of Bavaria" in the territory that was to become the centre of his power. When the brothers divided the Empire by the 843 Treaty of Verdun, Bavaria became part of East Francia under King Louis the German, who upon his death bequested the Bavarian royal title to his eldest son Carloman in 876. Carloman's natural son Arnulf of Carinthia, raised in the former Carantanian lands, secured possession of the March of Carinthia upon his father's death in 880 and became King of East Francia in 887. Carinthia and Bavaria were the bases of his power, with Regensburg as the seat of his government. Due mainly to the support of the Bavarians, Arnulf could take the field against Charles in 887 and secure his own election as German king in the following year. In 899 Bavaria passed to Louis the Child, during whose reign continuous Hungarian ravages occurred. Resistance to these inroads became gradually feebler, and tradition has it that on 5 July 907 almost the whole of the Bavarian tribe perished in the Battle of Pressburg against these formidable enemies. During the reign of Louis the Child, Luitpold, Count of Scheyern, who possessed large Bavarian domains, ruled the Mark of Carinthia, created on the southeastern frontier for the defence of Bavaria. He died in the great battle of 907, but his son Arnulf, surnamed the Bad, rallied the remnants of the tribe in alliance with the Hungarians and became duke of the Bavarians in 911, uniting Bavaria and Carinthia under his rule. The German king Conrad I unsuccessfully attacked Arnulf when the latter refused to acknowledge his royal supremacy. ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Bavaria History of Bavaria]''

Our dream is to trace families alive today beyond their Mid-Western present, through their colonial days in Russia, and back to the regions in Germany where they originated. We realize that this will take much work and diligence on the part of the Project Members. But we are willing and able to carry it out! NEW RESOURCE: https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2367299 Family search has added new records for Volga Germans. This will be a great help! http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/archives/maps/colonies.cfm Good site for Volga German information. Includes some village maps showing surnames of households. http://cvgs.cu-portland.edu/archives/maps/colonies.cfm Center for Volga German Studies, Concordia University == HISTORY OF THE VOLGA GERMANS (Geschichte der Wolgadeutschen) == In 1762 and 1763, Catherine the Great invited Europeans to settle and farm the Russian frontier lands of the Volga River. All who did so could maintain their language and culture and have freedom of religious practice. Those settlers were exempt from serving in the Russian military "forever". Over the next five years, German farmers from the Palatinate and Rhineland, the Kingdom of Bavaria, Baden, and Hesse came by the thousands. Many who had been recruited to immigrate to Russia met in a centrally located town and were loosely organized into groups, each headed by an appointed leader, and then traveled to a northern seaport. The people from Hesse usually moved northward through Giessen, Kassel, and Hildesheim to the seaport town of Lübeck. It took many emigrants six weeks to go from Isenburg, near Frankfurt, to Lübeck, a distance of 300 miles or so. The voyage from Lübeck, Germany to Kronstadt, Russia took 10 to 11 days under favorable conditions—but in some cases it took 6 weeks. Englishmen then captained most ships, and the goods sold onboard ship were extremely over priced. There were claims some captains intentionally diverted and slowed voyages in order to make more onboard sales. Once getting to Russia, there was another long journey of close to a year to get to their actual settlements from the port of Oranienbaum in northern Russia to their southern Volga villages. This nearly always involved some harsh winter travel, mostly on foot, and the death toll was high. Eventually, Russia took back the freedom from military service and forced German migrants into the Russian Army. At that point, many families fled to the United States and Canada. Most continued in farming, already used to the freezing temperatures and desert-like environments. NO STRANGERS TO HARDSHIP: From their homelands in Germany, the trip to their new village on the Volga took about a year, on foot to the port, then by ship, then again on foot (wagons were for supplies) from the northern part of Russia to the southern part of the Volga river. Many died on the way. The Russian government also did not have all the promised seed and livestock available in a timely manner, and often the settlers arrived too late to plant a crop to ripen before winter. There was mass starvation that first year. They had little wood to build a home in time for winter, so often they built temporary homes underground, lived without heat, and had to cook their meals with dung as the only available fuel. There was much sickness and few or no doctors. During the first years, the settlers were at risk from raids from Mongols. In fact, Katherine the Great wanted the settlers to act as a buffer between Russians and the Mongolian hordes. They did not bother to warn the settlers about this before they left home! The Russian census taker, Popov, observed that in many villages, every summer gophers destroyed much of their grain crop. Wolf packs decimated livestock. He writes of the village of Kutter: "The inhabitants of this colony work diligently but, because of the lack of good land in the lower reaches of this colony, half of the seed was sown on non-arable land and wasted. The settlers justifiably complain about the quantity of wetlands. Vegetable gardens planted near the yards bear scant fruit, so the colonists, by means of canals, drained a swamp. They divided the land into small plots and there planted potatoes and garden vegetables. Because of the lack of good pasture in the lower lands, there is cattle plague here. More than 29 head of stock perished this past autumn and this spring. Because of this, the stock of the colonists will never be in desirable condition, in my observation, horses suffer from diseases when fed steppe grasses. This colony has shortages of everything it needs. They have no possibility of improvement from any direction, given the conditions described above and because of the constriction in possession of crown lands." The colonies DID hang on and increased in prosperity. But famines came with each drought. There was very little margin for crop failure. If this were not enough, the Volga Germans underwent raids by an army led by Pugachev, the Bolshevik revolution, and civil war. The livelihood of most villagers consisted of farming. They kept with the tradition of their homelands by traveling to their farmlands during the day and returning to their homes in the village at the end of the day. They grew rye, wheat, barley, oats, millet, potatoes, sunflowers, and tobacco, with the village homes keeping vegetable gardens and fruit trees in a yard adjacent to each home (the Hinnerhof) to supply food for the family table, including carrots, onions, sugar beets, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, schwarzbeeren (blackberry) and other berry varieties. They also had communal village gardens of cabbage, melons, watermelons, and pumpkins, as well as orchards for apples, pears, and cherries. Hemp and flax were grown for making clothing. They also raised cows, sheep, swine and chickens and kept a stable of horses. The years 1921-1922 saw massive numbers of deaths from starvation throughout Russia, caused by Lenin's policy of forced grain requisition as part of the kulak (wealthy private farmers) extermination campaign. The Germans living along the Volga River in Saratov and Samara had resisted the grain requisition. As a punitive measure, Lenin ordered the Volga area settlements be completely stripped of all grain and livestock and that mass executions be carried out. Over 30% of the Volga German population was deliberately starved before Lenin allowed international famine relief organizations into the area. The Volga and Ukraine were the main bread baskets of Russia, and the Germans skilled farmers, but the famines lasted throughout 1924. The final destruction of the Volga Germans as a people came in 1941 with mass deportations to Siberia where many were never heard from again. When the policy ended, survivors were allowed to leave Siberia but not return to their ancestral villages. Many thousands have returned to Germany since then, since Germany guaranteed citizenship to all who could prove German descent. Story of their deportation: http://expelledgermans.org/volgagermans.htm Very interesting write-up here: http://volgagermanbrit.us/showmedia.php?mediaID=7 For Genealogists: Passengers who were felt to be contagious were left off at Grosse_Isle to be in quarantine until no longer contagious. The next immigration ship arriving after they were released from quarantine would disembark its contagious passengers and pick up the newly released ones. A family might not be listed on the manifest of their original ship but also might not have been added to the manifest of their new ship. Here is an example of a Ger-Rus family (Galka?)

Colonists were assigned to settlements according to their religious confession. Later colonies were settled from the mother colonies and were called "daughter colonies". The first colony founded was Dobrinka. West (Bergseite = hilly side); East (Wiesenseite = meadow side) These are descriptive as well as telling us which side of the Volga they were situated on.

By the end of the 19th century, Volhynia had over 200,000 German settlers. The Germans in Volhynia were scattered about in over 1400 villages. Though the population peaked in 1900, many Germans had already begun leaving Volhynia in the late 1880's for North America, especially to the midwestern plains of the United States and Canada. Volhynia itself was a gubernia, or province, of the Russian Empire until 1919, when the western part of Volhynia once again became part of Poland. In 1945, the entire area of the Volhynia Gubernia was absorbed into the Soviet Union, but the gubernia system was no longer used and the Volhynia name was used to identify a smaller region, called an oblast, in the western part of the old gubernia. Most of what was the Volhynia Gubernia is now in Ukraine, with a small part of northern Volhynia in Belarus. Its capital was Zhitomir. Today, Volhynia isn't a Volga German area but is part of the Ukraine, Poland, and Belarus now. The Germans who settled made up a minority. Ethnic Germans in these areas were then expelled from these areas by 1945. Volhynia was annexed to Soviet Ukraine after the end of World War II. Most of the remaining ethnic Polish population were expelled to Poland in 1945. For further clarification on the history of Volhynia, this is a great article [http://remus.shidler.hawaii.edu/genes/Volhynia/home.htm History of Germans in Volhynia and Kiev] The alternate name for the region is Lodomeria. ==Maps and History== [http://www.rollroots.com/grsettle.htm German-Russian Settlement Map] About 80,000 Germans settled in the Black Sea area between 1804 and 1850. Another 30,000 Germans immigrated to the Ukraine Black Sea region between 1830 to 1865. Over 150,000 emigrated to Volhynia between 1865 to 1875. By 1897, 1.8 million ethnic Germans were living in the Russian Empire. [http://www.rollroots.com/volhynia.htm Volhynia Map] The migration of Germans into Volhynia occurred under significantly different conditions than those going to other parts of Russia. Their migration began at the encouragement of local noblemen, often Polish landlords, who wanted to develop their significant land holdings in the area. Probably 75% or more of them originated from Russian Poland with the balance coming directly from other regions such as East and West Prussia, Pomerania, Posen, Württemberg, and Galicia among others. Although the noblemen themselves offered certain perks for the move, the Germans of Volhynia received none of the special tax and military service freedoms attributed to the Germans in other areas. The settlement started as a trickle shortly after 1800. A surge occurred after the first Polish rebellion of 1831 but by 1850, they were still only about 5000 in number. The largest migration came after the second Polish rebellion of 1863 when they began to flood into the area by the thousands until they reached their peak at about 200,000 in the year 1900. The vast majority of these Germans were of the Lutheran (Evangelical) faith. Limited numbers of Mennonites from the lower Vistula River region settled in the south part of Volhynia while Baptists and Moravian Brethern also arrived, mostly settling northwest of Zhitomir. Another major difference between the Germans here and in other parts of Russia is that the other Germans tended to settle in larger communities. The Germans in Volhynia were scattered about in over 1400 villages. Though the population peaked in 1900, many Germans had already begun leaving Volhynia in the late 1880s for North America. Between 1911 and 1915, a small group of Volhynian German farmers (36 families - more than 200 people) chose instead to move to Eastern Siberia, making use of the resettlement subsidies of the Stolypin reform. They settled in three villages (Pikhtinsk, Sredne-Pikhtinsk, and Dagnik) in what is today Zalari District of Irkutsk Oblast. Their descendants, still bearing German names, continue to live in the district. ==Resources== === Resources for Volhynia Research === *[https://www.sggee.org SGGEE.org: The Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe] - focuses on the genealogy of Germans from Russian Poland and Volhynia * [https://sites.google.com/riehl-partner-web.de/grsl-daten/startpage?authuser=0 Germans from Russia Settlement Locations and Current Name(s)], * Some names of settlers in Volhynia: http://wolhynien.de/db/gr/namelist.php *The most important English-language resource on the Germans from Volhynia and Russian Poland is the [https://www.sggee.org/ Society for German Genealogy in Eastern Europe] site.
