Andreas Heilmann, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and daughters (Rosina, age 25; Katharina, age 23; Margaretha, age 19; Anna Maria, age 13) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 11 August 1766 aboard the Russian galliot named Citadel under the command of Midshipman Gregory Bukharin.
Andreas Heilmann, his wife Catarina, and daughters (Rosina, age 25; Catarina, age 23; Margaretha, age 19; Anna Maria, age 13) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Andreas died en route.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Heilmann came from the German region of Würzburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Heilmann family among the Volga German colonies.
