List of locations of German settlements in Russia that occurred from 1763 into the early 20th century, researched and compiled by Dennis Bender. This unique resource is detailed and vast in scope, inclusive of all German groups who uprooted from their Germanic homelands and heeded the call of Catherine the Great and her successors to colonize Russia. Coordinates are included for all villages listed, which can be used to create other maps or be input into genealogy programs that support mapping.
