High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bessarabia Germans are an ethnic group who lived in Bessarabia (today part of Moldova and Ukraine) between 1814 and 1940. Between 1814 and 1842, they immigrated from the German areas Wurttemberg and Prussia to the Russian government of Bessarabia at the Black Sea. In their 125-year history, the Bessarabia Germans inhabited rural parts of the country. Until their moving to the German Empire (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), they were a minority consisting of 93,000 people who made up some 3% of the population. They are distinguished from the Black Sea Germans who settled to the east of Odessa. The most prominent person with Bessarabian ancestry is German President Horst Kohler. Until the moving in 1940, his parents lived in the German colony Ryshkanovka in Northern Bessarabia, being moved to Poland, which was by that time occupied by Germany, where Kohler was born.
