The Dobrujan Germans German language Germ . Dobrudschadeutsche were an ethnic German group, within the larger category of Black Sea Germans , for over one hundred years. German speaking colonists entered the approximately 23,000 km area of Dobruja around 1840 and left during the relocation of 1940. Dobruja is a historic territory on the north coast of the Black Sea . Colonization Image Dobroger.png thumb 250px German colonies in Dobruja The first of these Germans German settlers came between 1841 and 1856 from the Russian Empire . They were farming families from the neighboring areas of Bessarabia and Kherson Cherson , who immigrated because of an economic recession in their home territories. Thirty years later colonists from Swabia also moved into the region. During this period, Dobruja still belonged to the Ottoman Empire and the colonists were subject to colonization regulations from Turkey . Consequently, the Dobruja Germans were the only ethnic Germans to ever be Turkish subjects without actually moving to Turkey as did the Bosporus Germans . They contributed to the agricultural development of the fertile steppe s. Relocation In the first years of World War II, the majority of the 16,000 Dobruja Germans, as well as the Bessarabian Germans Bessarabian and Bukovina Germans , were relocated into Germany . This was done under the motto Heim ins Reich Home into the Empire . The refugees lived temporarily in relocation camps in Austria , but in 1941 1942 they resettled the German occupied eastern territories in Bohemia, Moravia and Poland . At the end of the Second World War war , they fled west, and were found as refugees in all four Allied Occupation Zones in Germany occupation zone s in Germany.

Until the 19th century, a term such as German was not too meaningful, although the concept certainly existed. If anything, it was more seen as a cultural concept including language , religion in different forms , and already sometimes Race classification of human beings race in a vague sense . Only with the 1871 unification of Germany under Prussia n leadership did some concepts acquire a legal political meaning, which they have retained until now.
