This great victory wouldinspire</p><p>the name for the future village of Katzbach in</p><p>Bessarabia. 1814 – 1842German colonists establish 25</p><p>villages in Bessarabia, mostly in the interior</p><p>black-soiled Budshak region. 1821Katzbach is founded</p><p>by twenty-eight familiesin Poland who decide to</p><p>follow their friends and relatives to Bessarabia, and</p><p>become the first settlers in Katzbach.
