Molotschna Colony Photograph Collection

  • CA CMBS NP164
  • Collection
  • 1872-1989

These images were scanned by Linda Huebert Hecht for the Molotschna Bicentennial Photo Project 2004, which provided the organizational structure of this CMBS collection. In the Fehderau series (no. 4), CMBS has many of the prints used by Linda to make the scans and are noted accordingly.

Unknown

From the Fehderau family

The collection contains photographs depicting aspects of Nicholas J. Fehderau's family's life in the city of Halbstadt (Ukraine) and on his family's farming estate up to 1924, when he immigrated to Canada.
The Nicholas J. Fehderau photo collection includes more than the 83 scanned images in this collection (see also NP152 for more photographs).
The collection documents the assumptions, motivation, vision, and everyday life of one Mennonite estate family, the Fehderau family.

Formal portrait of Anna and David Penner

Formal portrait of Anna and David Penner, a wealthy couple of Lindenau. In 1891 they took Alida’s grandfather, Heinrich Unruh of Gnadental into their home as a foster child who could work for them. Heinrich was 11 years old at the time. His father had died two years earlier. His mother (Alida’s great-grandmother) and the three younger of Heinrich’s 10 siblings remained in Gnadental, some distance away. Heinrich probably did not see them often after coming to live with Anna and David Penner.
