Bernhard Tochtermann, a tanner (Gerber), and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 7 May 1766 aboard the galliot named Anna Katharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Heyer.
Bernhard Tochtermann, a tanner (Gerber), and his wife Anna Korb are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou in Household No. 90.
It is not known in which colony they settled.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Bernhard Tochtermann came from the German region of Württemberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Tochtermann family among the Volga German colonies.
