Little Germany (German Petersburg)
0.935 km.
История немецкого Петербурга начинается буквально со дня основания города.
They were architectures, sculptors, artists and scientists, workers, pharmacists, bakers, brewers and shoemakers. They all founded a German settlement, which later became the largest one among all other foreign societies in Saint Petersburg. Russian government supported and helped this "Little Germany" - German citizens could follow their religion, keep their national customs and traditions, organize schools and even print papers in their language.
