Friedrich Hasselbauer, a single man, arrived from Lübeck via Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 24 May 1766 aboard a pinque named Лапоминк (Lapomink - a Russian river) under the command of Lieutenant Dmitry Krykov.
He and his new wife settled in the Volga German colony of Leitsinger on 12 May 1767. His unnamed wife died 14 November 1767, and he is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 77. The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Friedrich Hasselbauer was a farmer while the 1767 census records that he is a mason (Maurer).
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Friedrich Hasselbauer came from the German region of Koblenz. The 1767 census records that Friedrich Hasselbauer came from Brüssel.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hasselbauer family among the Volga German colonies.
