Abstract:The article sheds a new light on the history of German settlers in Tiflis of the 19th century. The main focus lies on emphasizing the important role these settlers played in cultural and economic life of the city. The records the emigrants left behind, depict in vivid tints the circumstances of their existence. Most of the Germans in Tiflis were craftsmen and merchants, others earned their life, for instance, as teacher, scientist, pastor, painter, musician or as enterpriser and man of business. Short biographies of some of the most outstanding characters round off the article.Document Type: Research article

The conference will address and seek to answer mainly to the following questions: What were the main principles of cultural unity and diversity in this huge area? How and in what capacity the cultural interactions were taking place? How were the literary motifs in the region reflecting on each other? What is the cultural future of the region? What are the modes of peaceful coexistence of different civilisations and cultures?
