In May, 1998, Bob Dambach of Prairie Public Television, Fargo and Michael M. Miller, Germans from Russia Bibliographer, NDSU Libraries, Fargo, traveled to Simperofol, Yalta and the Crimean villages. They were impressed with the warm reception of the local Germans, the villages themselves and the identification of the churches, cemeteries, houses, schools and other structures. They also found ethnic Germans still living in the villages. Our Crimean experience proved to be very successful and it was felt that we can now pursue a Crimean German village tour for the future. Villages visited include Friedental, Neusatz, Zurichtal, Rosental and Kronental. The Germans from Russia Heritage Collection has a laminated map available of the Crimean German villages.
Photographs taken during the May visit to Crimea can be found at the following Germans from Russia Heritage Collection website page -
