Political Integration of Volhynian Germans in Interwar Estonia: The Case of Citizenship Applications

Summary/Abstract: Volhynian Germans were a relatively recent migrant group even in the region from which they derived their name. Most of them settled in the Volhynia province of the Russian Empire only in the decades following the Polish uprisings of the 1860s and 1880s, primarily from Congress Poland, where they had earlier arrived after the partitions of Poland. By the end of mass migration in 1889, approximately 150,000 Germans lived in Volhynia; about two decades later, around 1910, their number had increased to roughly 210,000 despite considerable overseas emigration, largely due to high natural growth.
