background
Bukovina was once part of the historical Principality of Moldova. At the beginning of the 16th century, the principality became a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire.
In 1775 the Ottoman Empire ceded Bukovina to Austria. Subsequently, Germans from southwest Germany, Bohemia and Austria were settled, who were later referred to as Buchenland or Bukowina Germans. As a result, Bukovina was strongly multiethnic and multicultural. In the 1910 census, 41% were “Ruthenians” (i.e. Ukrainians), 31% Romanians, and 22% German-speaking (although Yiddish was also counted as German). 13% of the population were of Jewish faith. In 1918 Bukovina became part of the young state of Romania.
During the Second World War, the Soviet Union occupied the northern part of Bukovina, which was predominantly populated by Ukrainians. Subsequently, nearly 100,000 Bukowina Germans were resettled in the German Empire. The remainder moved to the Federal Republic after the war, so that there has been practically no German minority since then. The Jewish population was destroyed in the Holocaust or emigrated to Palestine and America. After the Second World War, the region was then divided into a northern part, which went to Ukraine (or Soviet Union), and a southern part, which remained with Romania.
