Hussenbach (Linevo Osero) History
"The first German colonists who went to Russia in 1766 were sent to one of 104 different colonies or villages in the Volga region. One of those colonies was Huessenbach(Linevo-Ozero) and this was considered as a "mother colony". . In 1860 the village of Neu-Hussenbach (known as Hussenbach(Gaschon)), or just plain Gaschon was established on the Wiesenseite. From our experience, a large percentage of Germans do not have the foggiest idea as to where there ancestors were from - all they seem to know is the word Hussenbach. If more is desired about the differenes between the two, I would gladly explain them. As for the meaning of the name. This has been studied by a number of historians. Some contend that the colony was named after a German who accompanied the colonists to Russia. This has never been proved. This would apply to both colonies. The term "colony" is very often applied to Neu-Hussenbach on the Wiesenseite. Technically, Neu Hussenbach was never granted colonial status, apparently because it was made up of both crown and private lands. Most of the Germans from Hesse went to the Volga Region." by Paul Lais.
