Early Years

Karl Stumpp was born in Alexanderhilf on the 12th of May 1896 to Jakob Stumpp and Katharina (König) Stumpp. After he graduated from the German Gymnasium in Odessa, he went to the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen between the years 1918 and 1922, where he received a doctorate in philosophy. Around the same time, he married the likewise Black Sea German Martha Prinz, whom he had met at university. The couple moved to Bessarabia in 1922, where Stumpp established several youth organizations and taught lectures about the history of Germans in Russia.[1] In 1931 he married a woman named Maria, with whom he had two sons: Viktor, born ca. 1931, and Karl, born ca. 1934.[2]

Alexanderfeld / Adamovka / Berezanka, Tiligulo-Beresan, Odessa, RU (Lat: - 46.8592N, Long - 31.3849E) is currently called Berezanka, Mykolayivs'ka, Ukraine.[3]

Involvement in Nazi Ethnographical Programs

Stumpp decided to move back to Germany in 1933 because he refused to become a Romanian citizen.[4]
