Ethnic culture/Ethnic communities
The Germans (their own native name is Deutsche) are an ethnic community which is a part of the polpulation of the Leningrad Oblast. The religious Germans are Lutherans and Catholics. The Germans are the main population of Germany. In Russian (in 2002) there were 597,2 thousand Germans including 2,4 thousand Germans in the Leningrad Oblast. Germans lived in Ingermanlandia among the population of Nyenschantz in the 17th century. Increasing in the number of Germans began in the 18th during the reforms of Peter I who invited experts from abroad. Among the Germans there were immigrants from the Baltic States and Germany. Germans lived in towns. A considerable part of landlords of the western uyezds of the Saint Petersburg gubernia (present Kingisepp, Volosovo districts) were Germans by birth (the Korffs, the Wrangels, the Weimarns and others). The Colonists were a special group among the German population. In 1897 in the Saint Petersburg gubernia there were 8,1 thousand Germans. German Lutheran parishes (Lutherans predominated among Germans in the Leningrad Oblast) were in the towns of Vyborg (see Saint Apostles Peter and Paul's Lutheran Church), Yamburg (Kingisepp), Kovalyovo Village (Smolnaya colony), villages of Novosaratovka (see Novosaratovkaya colony, St.Catherine's Lutheran Curch), Yanino, Kipen. Germans were a part of the church members (along with Finns and Estonians) of the churches of Gatchina Town (see Sainted Hierarch Nicholas's Lutheran Church), Druzhnaya Gorka Urban Settlement, Kobrino Village, Ruchyi Village (Lomonosov District). After 1917 there was reduction of the number of Germans. The Germans were deported from Leningrad and its environs in March 1942 (see Ethnic Deportation). In the 1980-90s a part of Germans repatriated to their native land.
