Beschreibung
Explore the 19th-century German colony Neu-Tiflis on a guided walking tour. Discover architectural masterpieces, created by German architects and learn about the Swabians’ life in Georgia.
Begin your tour at the Evangelical-Lutheran Church and learn why, in the early 19th century, Germans from Württemberg began arriving in the Caucasus and establishing numerous colonies. Walk along the former German Street toward the house of gardener Mayer and his rose garden, then continue to the Mikhailovsky Hospital designed by the colonist Albert Salzmann.
Find out why the Swabians had to leave Germany and travel so far, what the Russian Empire promised them, and whether it delivered. Learn what a volcano in Indonesia has to do with their story, how the colonists disappointed the Caucasus Viceroy, how they transformed Georgia, and where they disappeared.
Pass the former Mader street and reach the Wetzel Hotel — once one of the most luxurious hotels in Tiflis. Admire the elegant homes of wealthy Germans — the Madere, Liebermanns, Schwarzes and others — as well as the magnificent Paul Stern mansion, and locate the oldest surviving German cottage.
This part of the city has been beautifully restored and captivates visitors with its charm. Thanks to the well-preserved architecture, feel fully immersed in the atmosphere of 19th-century Imperial Russia and discover what kind of relationship existed between German colonists and the Russian administration.
