Sie lebten für sich, waren fleißig, erfinderisch, strebsam, gingen nur unbedingt nötige Kontakte ein und hielten sich von allem Nicht-Deutschen fern. Sie gründeten erfolgreich sieben Siedlungen, die sie Kolonien nannten. Sie jubelten 1898 Kaiser Wilhelm II zu, der ihnen stets seinen Schutz angedeihen lassen wollte und dieses Versprechen nicht einlöste.

Als sie sich von diesem Schock erholt hatten, schlossen sie sich begeistert den Nationalsozialisten an und wurden noch während des Krieges und danach aus ihrem Heiligen Land für immer ausgewiesen.
