=============================
KASSEL, Glueckstal, Odessa, South Russia:
Kassel was established in 1810 during the reign of Russia's Czar Alexander I (Catherine II's grandson). It paved the way for the first German emigrants to migrate to and settle that region just north of the Black Sea.
That spring, 99 families were settled in the village of Kassel. They came from various parts of Germany: 60 families were from Alsace (France), 12 from Baden, 9 from the Rhine Palatinate, 6 from Wuerttemberg, and 12 from the vicinity of Warsaw, Poland. In all, they numbered 399 souls (205 male and 194 female).
The initial settlement site selected was 19.9 miles northwest of their administrative capital of Tiraspol. Originally the village was founded in a small tributary valley of the Dniester River, but due to recurrent spring floods was moved 2.7 miles east to the river's elevated left bank in 1841.
The name of the colony goes back to the deceased pioneer settler Daniel Ficke, who was a native of Kassel, Germany. The name was adopted by the early settlers and was subsequently approved by the authorities.
