Heinrich [Christoph] Reinhardt, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Wibke, and children (Maria, age 11; Hans, age 6) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 May 1766 aboard a galliot named Adler (Eagle) under the command of the Skipper Paul Adolph Drath.
They arrived in the Volga German colony of Dinkel on 27 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 34 with a note that they resettled in 1768 to the colony of Warenburg.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Heinrich Reinhardt was a cobbler while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer.
The 1767 census records that Christoph [Heinrich] Reinhardt came from the German village of Lebbin in the Brandenburg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Reinhardt family among the Volga German colonies.
