Other German populations in Turkey[edit]
There also used to be a significant German population in Kars, a city in the far northeastern corner of Turkey. Kars was a part of the Russian Empire for some 40 years (between 1878 and 1918) and some Germans (probably Volga Germans) –as well as some Russians- were settled at the city those times, staying in Kars long after the city was returned to Turkey. Along with Russians, they had a great impact in the social life of the city. But as far as I have heard, none exists now. I don’t have a source for this nor I have searched to find one on internet, but I think they should be mentioned on this page as soon as an appropriate source is found. By the way, old parts of Kars has a big deal of buildings which are good examples of Russian-Baltic architecture (for example, the only mosque of Turkey which performs Baltic architecture), a heritage from the Tzarist times.
Weizsäckers were no refugees during the Second World War[edit]
To count the Weizsäcker family as part of the German refugees in Istanbul during the Second World War is utter rubbish. The father of Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker and Richard von Weizsäcker, Ernst von Weizsäcker, was a leading figure of the German Foreign Office during the Third Reich. He even had a high rank in the SS. After 1945 he was amongst the defendants of the main Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal, his son Richard assisted the defence team of his father. Even as diplomat he never was assigned to Istanbul or Ankara.
