Heinrich Biehl, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Mattias under the command of Sipper David Wollert.

He settled in Enders on 15 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 38 along with his new wife Katharina.

Friedrich Biehl and his siblings from Enders are recorded on the 1862 census of Gnadendorf.

The 1767 census records that Heinrich Biehl came from the German village of Büdingen in the Isenburg region.
