Germans from Russia Settlement Locations

German Russian Atlas








The German Russian Atlas is a collection of maps containing the locations of known German settlements in the Imperial Russian Empire, its subsequent Soviet states, and the locations of deportation/exile/resettlement during and after WWII. Each location is georeferenced and plotted on Google MyMaps, fully searchable with additional information about each place with respect to the German people who lived there. It spans both European Russia and Asiatic Russia across the modern-day countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Tajikistan, Türkiye, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The purpose of atlas is to place German settlements into historical geographic context on a modern map, bringing the past into the present. 

The German Russian Atlas is a part of the Germans from Russia Settlement Locations project. This is a work in progress and a living document.
