One of the German travelers found the city in Azerbaijan that was built by his ancestors.
Medianews.az, citing "Report," reports that Azerbaijan's ambassador to Germany, Nasimi Agayev, shared about this on the social network "X".
"A German traveler found the city that his ancestors built in Azerbaijan more than 200 years ago," the post stated.
It should be noted that the city in question is Goygol (formerly Helenendorf). This city was built in 1819 by colonists who emigrated from the Württemberg principality in Germany. One of the main German monuments in Goygol city is the Holy Johann Lutheran Church (Kirche). This church was built in 1854 and is one of the first Lutheran churches in Azerbaijan. Currently, the History-Ethnography Museum of Goygol district operates in the church building.
Additionally, more than 300 German houses from the 19th century remain in the city center.
The historic house belonging to Viktor Klein, the last German who lived in Goygol, is also preserved. The cemetery created by German immigrants in the city still exists. These monuments collectively reflect the history of multiculturalism in Azerbaijan and carry the traces of the Helenendorf era.
