Kleinliebental Homepage

These are the only five old photographs of Kleinliebental that I know. The first three photos are from the so called "Neuer Haus- und Landwirtschaftskalender für deutsche Ansiedler im südlichen Rußland auf das Jahr 1911" (New House and Farm Calender for German settlers in South Russia for the year 1911). It can be found in the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen, Stuttgart.
The other two pictures from Kleinliebental are from the book "Die Kirchen und das religiöse Leben der Russlanddeutschen".
And the two drawings from the Odessa seaport are taken from the "Neuer Haus- und Landwirtschaftskalender für deutsche Ansiedler im südlichen Rußland auf das Jahr 1894" (New House and Farm Calender for German settlers in South Russia for the year 1894).

	This 1911 photo is shows the Eastern side of the village with the gardens along the little stream "Malaja Ackerscha" in the foreground and St. Wendelin's Church in the background. The street in the middle of the photo is "Hartmannsgasse", also known as "Kraftgasse". The house with the little extension is the house of Vinzenz Däschle. Behind it, the large house on the right is the house of Johannes Malsam.
	On this photo you can again see the tower above the church in the background. The little street that leads directly towards the entrance of the church was called "Kirchengasse" (Church Street).
	This photo shows the "new" (1866 built) church in Kleinliebental, in all its splendor. On the right of the church is the new rectory that was built in 1883; on the left there must be the old rectory that was later used as apartment for the sacristan.
	Interior of the church; photo was taken during a double-marriage in 1942
	The church without steeple in 1943
