    Father Gottlieb Beratz (seated) with visitors in his garden at Herzog in the summer of 1912. The clerics visiting him were vacationing seminary students: Joh. Schamne, Josef Paul, Nikolaus Liesl and Peter Weigel, whom he knew from his service in the seminary. The layman (right) was the sexton of Herzog parish, H. Baron.

    There are a number of sons of the Volga German Catholic parishes who joined the priesthood.
