Andreas Fischer, a farmer from the area of Hanau, & Anna Maria Appel [see Appel Family] from the area of Darmstadt were married on 1 August 1766 in Pastor Bruns's house in Lübeck. The marriage is recorded in the parish register of St. Jacob's Lutheran Church in Lübeck.
Andreas Fischer, farmer, and his wife Anna Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the snow-brig Die Frau Dietrika under the command of Skipper Joachim Friedrich Luhn.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Yagodnaya Polyana on 16 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 49.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Fischer came from the German region of Hanau. The 1767 census records that he came from the German region of Nidda.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Fischer family among the Volga German colonies.
