Heinrich Arnemann, a tailor (Schneider), and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.
Heinrich Arnemann and his wife Catharina are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Catharina died en route.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Ober-Monjou on 3 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 89.
The 1767 census records that Heinrich Arnemann came from Nordheim.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
