Orbeljanowka ( Russian Орбельяновка ) is a village in the Stavropol region in southern Russia .
geography
Orbeljanowka is located on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus , about 20 km west of the city of Mineralnye Vody and about 25 km northwest of the spa town of Pyatigorsk . The village is about 400 meters above sea level on the right bank of the Kuma River .
history
Orbeljanowka was founded in 1868 by friends of Jerusalem of German descent .
Johannes Dreher, Abram Dück and Friedrich Tietz from the Molotschna Colony traveled to the Caucasus in the autumn of 1866 to check the possibilities of a settlement. In the valley of the river Kuma they found an unpopulated piece of land of 10,000 Dessjatinen (approx. 11,000 ha), which belonged to the Georgian prince Orbeliani .
In 1867 representatives of several German colonies traveled to Tbilisi to see Prince Orbeliani: Brothers Fickel and Härter from Bessarabia , Abram Dück, Johann Schmidt, Johannes Lange from the Molotschna colony, Johann Gutwin and Paul Tietz from Igren near Jekaterinoslaw . They signed a contract with the prince through which they leased his land on the Kuma River for 30 years in return for payment of 25 kopecks a year for 1 dessiatin. The colonies Tempelhof and Orbeljanowka were founded on this land in 1868. About 30 families settled in Orbeljanowka who came from Bessarabia, where they had moved mainly from Württemberg .
After the lease expired, almost all residents of the two colonies Orbeljanowka and Tempelhof moved more than 200 km to the east, after a piece of land of 4,500 dessiatines received from the Crown. There the Orbeljanowkaer founded the Romanowka settlement, the Tempelhofer the Olgino settlement.
In the 1950s, some Molokan families (around 40 people) were relocated from Azerbaijan and Checheno-Ingushetia to Orbelyanovka.
