Bergthal Colony
The Bergthal Colony was a Mennonite settlement in south Russia, now Ukraine.
The colony consisted of five villages: Schoenfeld, Heuboden, Bergthal, Schoenthal, and Friedrichsthal. The villages were settled during the years 1836 to 1852 by 149 landless families from the Chortitza Colony. The settlement was located on the Bodni, a small tributary of the Berda River about 200 km southeast of Zaporozhye. During the 1870s, the entire colony consisting of about 500 families immigrated to Manitoba.
The Bergthal Colony, a book by William Schroeder, was published in Winnipeg by CMBC Publication in 1973 and as a revised edition in 1986.
