Assureti ( Georgian ასურეთი ; according to the Georgian transcription system Asureti , German Elisabethtal ) is a village near Tbilisi in the Georgian administrative region of Niederkartlien and is now part of the Tetrizqaro municipality .
location
Assureti is just 20 kilometers as the crow flies (32 kilometers by road) southwest of Tbilisi at 720 m above sea level on the right edge of the Assuretula Gorge .
history
The village was founded on November 19, 1818 by Caucasian Germans under the name Elisabethtal or Elisabeththal by 72 German emigrant families. The then civil governor chose this name because the village was founded on the day of St. Elizabeth . In 1857, 38 families left Elisabethtal after disputes over religious issues and founded the village of Alexanderhilf near Zalka . Other German families from Elisabethtal founded the village of Steinfeld (Kotishi) near Marabda.
After the annexation of the Democratic Republic of Georgia by Soviet Russia in 1921, Elisabethtal was given the Georgian name Assureti. From 1932 to 1938 there was a collective farm ( kolkhoz ) Concordia in Assureti , which was very successful in viticulture and research into pest control . After the attack by the Wehrmacht on the Soviet Union in June 1941, the German residents were deported to Siberia and Kazakhstan in October 1941 .
The German ancestors of Nadezhda Allilujewa , the wife of Josef Stalin, come from the Elisabeth Valley .
