Spahn (Stahl am Tarlyk)*

[Heinrich] Wilhelm Spahn, a physician, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 25 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Maria Sophia under the command of Skipper Johann Bauert.

Heinrich Wilhelm Spahn and his wife Anna Eva settled in the Volga German colony of Stahl am Tarlyk on 5 September 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 40 along with his brother-in-law Johann Daniel Staff (age 10).

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Heinrich Wilhelm Spahn came from the German region of Magdeburg.

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