Johann [Christoph] Bahlhausen and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Reinhard on 25 May 1767 where Johann Christoph is recorded as a single craftsman (Handwerker) in Household No. 26. The Oranienbaum passenger list records that he was a weaver.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Bahlhausen came from the German region of Kalbach. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Radaschhausen in the Schwarzburg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
