Colonization Image Dobroger.png thumb 250px German colonies in Dobruja The first of these Germans German settlers came between 1841 and 1856 from the Russian Empire . They were farming families from the neighboring areas of Bessarabia and Kherson Cherson , who immigrated because of an economic recession in their home territories. Thirty years later colonists from Swabia also moved into the region. During this period, Dobruja still belonged to the Ottoman Empire and the colonists were subject to colonization regulations from Turkey . Consequently, the Dobruja Germans were the only ethnic Germans to ever be Turkish subjects without actually moving to Turkey as did the Bosporus Germans . They contributed to the agricultural development of the fertile steppe s. Relocation In the first years of World War II, the majority of the 16,000 Dobruja Germans, as well as the Bessarabian Germans Bessarabian and Bukovina Germans , were relocated into Germany . This was done under the motto Heim ins Reich Home into the Empire . The refugees lived temporarily in relocation camps in Austria , but in 1941 1942 they resettled the German occupied eastern territories in Bohemia, Moravia and Poland .
