Peter Anton Köhler, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Die Neue Freiheit von Bremen under the command of Skipper Steingrawer.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 164.

The 1767 census records that Anton Köhler came from the German village of Gerlachsheim in the Kurpfalz.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Köhler family among the Volga German colonies.
