Organization: The Landsmannschaft der Deutschen aus Russland was founded in the early 1950s. It is an organization with a membership from the following groups:

  • Black Sea Germans
  • Crimean Germans 
  • Caucasus Germans 
  • Mennonite Germans
  • Volga Germans.

Work activities include social welfare assistance to the ethnic Germans immigrating to Germany from the former Soviet Union. For 1995, about 15,000 persons per month have immigrated to Germany. Close to 200,000 have entered Germany each year since 1991. This society provides cultural events, publishes books, and prepares travelling exhibitions on the German-Russian experience.

Library and Museum: The Landsmannschaft has an extensive library collection available for researchers at the Stuttgart. Interlibrary loan is not available. A museum room of German-Russian artifacts is available for viewing.

Bookstore and Book Sales: Books for purchase, including many Heimatbuchers, Family and area histories and other literature are listed in each issue of Volk auf dem Weg.
