Georg Döhlinger, a stonemason (Maurer), and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 2 August 1766 aboard an English frigate named Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
Stephan Döhlinger, a mason (Maurer), and his wife Katharina settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 23 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 155.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Döhlinger came from the German region of Franken. The 1767 census records that Stephan Döhlinger came from the German village of Herbsthausen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Döhlinger family among the Volga German colonies.
