Cholmerlander
The Cholmerlanders were a German population group who lived for about 120 years in eastern central Poland in the region around the city of Cholm (this region was also known as the Cholmer Land).
history
After the First Partition of Poland, part of the Polish Chełmer Land of the Ruthenian Voivodeship and part of the Bełz Voivodeship with Tomaszów and Hrubieszów came to the Habsburgs. Maria Theresa had the first craftsmen from German-speaking areas settle in Zamość as early as 1774. In the Zamosc district founded in 1783, a few German colonies emerged in the course of the Josephine colonization (e.g. over 90 families in 9 localities of the Zamość family entourage ).
The ethnic group formed from around 1820 when settlers of German origin immigrated to the 32,000 square kilometer area. The Protestants strengthened the parish in Lublin, founded in 1784, as well as the new parishes in Chełm (founded 1875), Cyców (1925) and Kamień - in 1937 even a diocese of Lublin was spun off from the Evangelical Augsburg Church in Poland . In 1921 a total of 10,933 residents of the Lublin Voivodeship declared themselves German. They left it again in 1940 when they were resettled in the German Reich under the Hitler-Stalin Pact . Most of them were resettled in the Wartheland .
