In other words, the moving of German villagers from the Württemberg city of Germany to the South Caucasus and their settlement in the territories of Azerbaijan began between 1816-1818. Two German colonies - Helenendorf and Annenfeld were built in 1819 in Azerbaijan. Later, number of German settlements in the territory of Azerbaijan increased and reached eight in the beginning of the twentieth century: German settlements named Helenendorf, Annenfeld, Gorgesfeld, Alekseyevka, Grünfeld, Eygenfeld, Traubenfeld, Yelizavetinka were built in the old Azerbaijani villages of Goygol, Shamkir, Gazakh, Tovuz and Aghstafa regions. Among them there are specialists from different fields, business people, academics, architects, engineers, and so on.[1][2]

Employment

German colonists worked in the field of viticulture and wine growing in Azerbaijan. Forer and Hummel brothers are known for their winery companies, medium and small farms. Beer and cognac factories were built by Forer brothers' firm in Helenendorf. Cultivation, livestock, and various kinds of art have also developed in German settlements along with vine-growing - wine-making. In 1922, vine-growing - wine-making production named "Concordia" was established in German settlements, and in the 1930s kolkhozes began to function.[3]

Education

Education and culture in the cultural life of the German community were of great importance. In 1842 the first school building was built in Helenendorf. Total 8 German schools functioned in the German villages of Azerbaijan and in Baku in the mid-1920s. German, Azerbaijani and Russian teachers have worked in these schools. The German population showed great interest to the Azerbaijani language. At the end of 1920, engineering school, and in the 1930s the vine-growing and wine-making school began to function in Helenendorf.

Culture life

At that time, one of important historical events in the Germans life took place, the 100th anniversary of the Germans' settlement and Helenendorf colony were celebrated in Azerbaijan on June 9, 1919.[2]

Between 1920-1930, newspapers "Bauer und Arbeiter" ("Kəndli və fəhlə"), and "Lenins Weg" ("Lenin yolu") in the German language were published in Azerbaijan. In 1928, an Ethnological Museum was opened in Helenendorf by organization of archaeologist, educator Hummel. In 1940 an exhibition dedicated to the Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi for the 800th Anniversary in the former USSR was organized in that museum, which is one of the most obvious examples of the dialogue of cultures.
