Ludwig Werner, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 24 July 1766 aboard a barque named Georg under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.
Ludewig Werner is recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that he died en route.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Ludwig Werner came from the German region of Wegensburg [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Werner family among the Volga German colonies.
