A worthy successor of glorious German traditions is the ‘Bavarian House, Odessa’


‘Bavarian House, Odessa’ Bayerisches Haus was founded on the 11th July 1993 as a German cultural centre upon the initiative of the Bavarian State Ministry of Labour, Social, Family, Women and Health Affairs with the support of Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Free State of Bavaria under the intergovernmental agreement between Ukraine and Bavaria (1990).

The initial aims of the ‘Bavarian House, Odessa’ include regeneration and development of culture and language of ethnic Germans in the Black Sea region of Ukraine, support of German families that moved to Ukraine from the CIS countries, strengthening of mutual understanding, cultural and business relations between Ukrainian and German people.

The major part of settlers used to live in container houses that had been brought from Germany. In the course of time beautiful stone houses were built for them. The settlers acquired everything needed for the full-on household. It was necessary to work, so small enterprises were founded and provided the settlers with the jobs that were so important for life.
