Katharina Kromm, daughter of Ernst & Engel Katharina Kromm, was born 6 February 1749 in Hüttengesäß.
She is believed to have been married to Kaspar Kromm.
Kaspar Kromm, a farmer, and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the galliot named Kronshlot under the command of Skipper Ivan Kunakovskii along with many other families from Hüttengesäß.
Kaspar Kromm is believed to have died after arrival in Russia. Katharina Kromm remarried to Johann Georg Idt who had also come from Hüttengesäß and arrived in Oranienbaum aboard the same ship. They are recorded on the 1767 census of Balzer in Household No. 84. They had settled there on 1 July 1767. [See Idt Family.]
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Kaspar Kromm came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Kromm family among the Volga German colonies.
