Notizen zu dieser Person
(died on death march to Siberia WW11) by Marion S. Kirschman August Schlichenmayer, the second oldest son of David Schlichenmayer, had to serve in the Russian Army. He was drafted in 1897; while in the service he was married to Carolina Klingmanin 1899. They farmed and raised their family in Leichtenfelt, South Russia. Russia was in and out of one war after the other and August was in and out of the service. (Once a Russian soldier, yhou were called back whenever they had a war regardless of your age.) When August's father, David Schlichenmayer, and his brothers and sisters sailed for the United States, August had to remain in Russia. In 1914, during WWI, August was again in the Russian Army. Gen. Hindenburg of the Germany Armyhad an ace up his sleeve. In Northern Prussia are the Mazurian Swamps. Gen. Hindenburg retreated his men behind the swamps, but the Russian soldiers advanced and ended up in the middle of the swamps. Men by the thousands were taken prisoners ofwar, into Germany. august was one of these men. Later he was released. August's wife came from a well to do family and with hard work ... they were able to come by more. All their wealth and property was taken away when the Bolsheviks took over in 1917. After WWI, from 1919-1923 , Russia experienced a wde spread famine and during this time, August's wife Carolina, his sons August Jr. and Edward died. In 1925, August Schlichenmayer was married to Rose Keimele Reichert, whose husband had been punished to death byh the Bolshevik. (She was the sister to John Keimele.) They too had been well off but lost it all to the Bolshevik when they took over Russia. August had been corresponding with his brothers and sisters in the United States until 1933 when he seemed to disappear and in time was given up for dead. In 1938, Hitler was taking over one small country after the other. In the spring of 1942 he moved into Southern Russia. He was now taking back the German people that Katherine the Great had planted in Russia betwee 1788-1796. Hitler wanted these people back in the German Reich. By the fall of 1943 Hitler was in Leichtenfelt, South Russia. People by the score were rounded up to be taken. In this big drive of people were August, his children that lived there; John, Jacob, Margaret, Pauline and Alvina with their families. August's wife Rose, with her son George Reichert, his family, her niece, Martha Tymn with her husband and two children were all taken toPoland for shipment to Germany. I (Marion?) had the opportunity to talk to Martha Tymm in Canada. After hearing the grusome events, torture, and starvation it is a wonder that anyone lived to tell about it. After they got to Poland and were beingtransfered to Germany, Stalin out smarted Hitler. In 1945, he took over Poland. Stalin was under the impression that these German people were trying to escape Russia. For punishment he exiled them to Siberia. Everyone made a mad scramble to savetheir own neck. People were scattered from here to there, families were torn apart, mother's and children were parted. No one knew where the other one was. Martha Tymm and her children were somehow able to stay together and escaped into Germany.In the mixup they lost track of her husband. After going through a lot of re tape, Martha's daughter, worked her way into Canada, and later was able to send for her mother and brother. Once in Canada, they located their uncle, John Keimele at Turtle Lake, N.D.. John Keimele and John Schlichenmayer went to Canada to see them. Through their combined efforts, they located George Reichert living in Switzerland. Who (George Reichert) had found his mother (the second wife of August Schlichenmayer) living but exiled in Siberia. they also located-with the help of George Reighert-August Schlichenmayer's son John who lived in Weissbaden, Germany. At the time that this little book was printed, we have had letters from August Schlichenmayer's other children. Jacob, Paulina, Margaret, and Alvina living in exile in Siberia. a grandson, albert Schlichenmayer writes from Germany..they have not seen much of each other. August schlichenmayer's son John, of Weissbaden, Germany, writes tohis uncle, John D. Schlichenmayer at Bismarck, North Dakota and verified these facts told us by Marha Tymm. (The booklet "Life History of the David Schlichenmayer Family-1841-1925 was printed in the 1960's by Marion Schlichenmayer Kirshman-daughter of Elizabeth Seibel and John Schlichenmayer. In 2006 Katherine Long Bell visited her in Bottineau, North Dakota t where she moved to be near her daughter. Previously she lived in McClusky area north of Bismarck, N.D.)
