Christoph Dennewitz, a carpenter (Zimmermann), and his wife Eleonora settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 17 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 165.
The 1767 census records that Christoph Dennewitz came from the German village of Barg.
Christoph Dennewitz and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Paulskaya in Household No. Pl54.
There do not appear to be any surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
