Scattered Throughout The World
Outside of the 130 men who were serving in
the army, all the Scheindorf families were
in Austria and Thuringen before the end of
the war. When the war ended, those who were
brought to Thuringen were required to go
back home by the Soviet occupational force.
Some families in Austria, after overcoming
numerous difficulties, succeeded to reach
Scheindorf again. The majority of the
families moved to Germany in the summer of
1946 (Mary and John Weiss and their family
moved to Petersthal, Allgau, Germany in
August, 1946). Since the state of the
economy after 1948 in Germany and Austria
left a lot to be desired, there was a wave
of emigration to North America (In 1950,
Mary and John Weiss and their family moved
to New York City). So the events of the war
and after the war destroyed the former
community of the town, and the German
inhabitants in their search for a place to
live were scattered throughout the world.
Today they live for the most part in Romania
(R), West Germany (B), in the United States
(V), in Austria (Ö), and smaller groups in
Canada (K), in East Germany (D), and in
Great Britain (E).
The following families (with dependents in
parentheses) are recorded as having their
home in Scheindorf in 1944. The letters
after the name of the head of the household
indicates the country where the family
members live today or where they died:

"Familiennamen")
