Church of the Saviour, a German church in Baku, Azerbaijan
Caucasus Germans (German: Kaukasiendeutsche) are part of the German minority in Russia and the Soviet Union. They migrated to the Caucasus largely in the first half of the 19th century and settled in the North Caucasus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and the region of Kars (present-day northeastern Turkey). In 1941, the majority of them were subject to deportation to Central Asia and Siberia during Joseph Stalin's population transfer in the Soviet Union.[1] After Stalin's death in 1953 and the beginning of the Khrushchev Thaw, the Caucasus Germans were allowed to return, though only few did.[2] Many assimilated and, after 1991, emigrated to Germany.[3] Although the community today is a fraction of what it once was, many German buildings and churches are still extant, with some turned into museums.
