Johann Georg Körber immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) in 1760 along with his wife Anna Katharina Morgenthal.

They arrived in Fridericia on 3 October 1760.

The parish register of Kolding [Denmark] records on 4 December 1760 the baptism of Katharina Elisabeth Körber, daughter of Johann Georg Körber & Anna Christina Mergenthal [sic].

In December 1761, the family is recorded in the Danish colony of Friderichshoi.

The Körbers are last recorded in the Danish colonies on 26 April 1763.

They joined the migration to Russia and are recorded on the 1775 census of Schilling in Household No. 20.
