Welcome friends! Vilkommet alle Freunde !

Welcome to the German-Russian Heritage Museum ! I know that you will find many images of historic interest. The artifacts photographed are produced for us to browse through and read about like our magazine that will soon be re-issued in paper print form. Although, these artifacts may not necessarily be found in any specific location, but they have been photographed in various museums or in private family collections for our benefit. These are either photographed specifically for and by our museum director and will be found on our blog site and shown at this museum site. You will see a brief description below each image wherever possible in order to make your visit to our museum of interest, useful and enjoyable as a casual visitor or a serious researcher. Any museum must also be entertaining as well as educational.

As a viewer to this online virtual museum, you will also have the opportunity to access these many rare artifacts first-hand and read about new facts that will have your interest and reason to make a return visit. At this museum site we endeavor to bring other links to your attention that connect with the German-Russian culture and heritage. Plans include many other features that will be included at this museum, including biographies, genealogies, obituaries and much more.

Wherever possible, we invite you to give us leads to or submit good quality images of people, places and things along with stories that our audience would care to see and read about in connection with our website.

We expect to be adding a great many new images as they become available to us. Please be patient with our efforts, since there is a lot of work involved with this kind of set up. Here is the website address with our current historical images:
