<br>'''Swiss colonists in Mark Brandenburg''' | |||
<br>A treatise of Swiss colonists in Mark Brandenburg was also rendered by Erich Wentscher in ''Archiv für Sippenforschung'' (7. Jahrgang, Heft 7, Juli 1930). The newcomers were very welcomed craftsmen who were given citizenship, land and tax breaks to settle in. Their names, family connections and whereabouts were very well documented. The author starts with 14 families departing from Basel in 1685, arriving in Golm where 4 families settled. Further 4 families settle in Nattwerder and the remaining 6 in Neu-Töplitz. Later settlements were in Ruppin and Lindow. Swiss immigrants are also found in Eberswalde. Over the decades and centuries the Swiss infiltrated other settlements, formerly Dutch, such as Neu-Holland, Hohenbruch and Oranienburg. | |||
