Abstract

This article offers an overview of recent trends in and perspectives of Volga German Studies, which is understood as a complex and heterogenous research field, bringing together history, theology, philology and the social sciences. After presenting the most recent and current approaches, research gaps are then discussed critically, and new research questions are developed light of existing archival sources. Sources which have not thoroughly been incorporated into historical research are presented, and their value for interdisciplinary research on Volga Germans is highlighted. Particular emphasis is placed on the value of previous research for the proposed new interdisciplinary approaches, especially in the fields of genealogy as well as the history of the religion, folklore and literature of the Volga Germans.
