LIST OF SEPARATED GERMAN REFUGEE FAMILIES IN RUSSIA ...

LIST OF SEPARATED GERMAN REFUGEE FAMILIES IN RUSSIA DURING WORLD
WAR ONE AS REPORTED IN THE SARATOV “VOLKSZEITUNG”
Created by Richard Benert
Countless German families from Poland, the Baltics, and the Western and Southwestern Provinces became
separated during their forced flight to inner Russia in 1915. The usual causes of this calamity were the removal of
sick family members from trains and mishaps at railroad stations, as when a family member failed to return to the
train from a shopping trip into town. There was no way of knowing when trains would move on, and no way of
asking for delay until a family member returned.
Between March 19, 1915 and June 5, 1916 (when the paper was shut down), the Volkszeitung carried notices on
its last page (page 4) sent in by people looking for lost family members. Usually only one notice appeared, but
sometimes a notice appeared in 2 or 3 successive issues (2 issues per week). In one heart-rending case, a notice
appeared again after 6 months. We have no way of knowing, of course, what percentage of the total number of
missing persons is accounted for in these notices. Saratov was a major city to or through which refugees were
sent, but not the only one. The approximately 300 families in this list probably represent only a small fraction of
the families torn apart by this expulsion. Some families used other means of locating relatives, and many were
successful at finding them, thanks to the various agencies (and the postal service) that worked to aid the refugees.
But one cannot help but wonder how many of these families were never again united.
Each entry signifies a story which we can only imagine. A few stand out, such as the large number of men from
the Garwolin area of Lublin who were all seeking their families already in late March, 1915. Army commanders
may have expelled these men first, as they sometimes did, leaving the families to be dealt with a few days later.
Or one may be struck by the cruel irony of the eight soldiers on the Caucasian warfront seeking information about
their families expelled by the government for which they were fighting. On a smaller scale, we have the Arndt
parents looking for their one- and three-year-old children. The contact addresses show the important role played
by many pastors and teachers as well as the variety of living conditions, ranging from probably prosperous rural
chutors to brick and sausage factories in Saratov. Others had been sent beyond the Volga, to Astrakhan and
Siberia.
It is interesting that the paper carried a report in its “Von den Kolonien” section on October 4, 1915 from a Chr.
Schneider in Warenburg in which the reporter notes the presence of many Germans from Poland living in the
Volga colonies, many of whom had become separated from their families. He suggested that each colony, and the
city of Saratov, prepare a list of all the Polish Germans within its confines to help these people find each other
again. He appears not to have been aware that Germans from Volhynia had already begun arriving in the Volga
region. The Volkszeitung affirmed its willingness to help bring families together and pointed out the existence of a
Bureau dedicated to caring for refugees, the “Subcommittee of the City Executive Sanitation Committee” on
Cathedral Street. There is no evidence that Herr Schneider’s suggestion was ever carried out.
I have tended to preserve German spellings of place names, with a few exceptions—mainly in the case of names
of provinces. Where possible, I have given alternative German names of villages in the Volga region which might
not be familiar in their Russian version. I have probably not been totally consistent in the spelling of place names,
for which I hope I will be forgiven. I have alphabetized the list by family names, and I have alphabetized a second
list by place of origin. This will allow anyone with interest in a particular province to see at a glance all the families
from that region. W hen working on this second list, if one runs into a “see Kludt” or other such reference, one will
have to go back to the list alphabetized by family. Following the first list is an index of surnames that are not
among those alphabetized in the first column, with references to the appropriate first-column surname.
For several reasons, I have not reproduced the complete contact addresses. Anyone who would like to know an
exact address may contact me (currently at benovich@imt.net). . These addresses are given chiefly to indicate
the general area in which the person was living at the time. Question marks usually indicate lack of clarity in
printing, although there may be other reasons for my uncertainty, such as weakness in geography and the Russian
language.
