German Coast
The German Coast (French: ''Côte des Allemands'') was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans on the east side of the Mississippi River – specifically, from east (or south) to west (or north), in St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James parishes of present-day Acadiana.〔Wall et al., ''Louisiana: A History (''Fourth Edition'')''〕 The four settlements along the coast were Karlstein, Hoffen, Mariental, and Augsburg.〔Merrill, Ellen C. ''Germans of Louisiana''〕
==Settlements==
Originally, the Germans settled at the Arkansas Post. However, the conditions were intolerable.〔Sternberg, Mary Ann. ''Along the River Road: Past and Present on Louisiana's Historic Byway''〕
The area's name was derived from the large population of German pioneers who were settled along the Mississippi River in 1721 by John Law and the Company of the Indies. When the company folded in 1731, the Germans became independent land owners.〔(Acadian-Cajun Genealogy and history www.acadian-cajun.com )〕
Despite periodic flooding, hurricanes, and the rigors of frontier life, the German pioneers made a success of their settlements. Their farming endeavors provided food not only for themselves but also for New Orleans' residents. Some historians credit these German farmers with the survival of early New Orleans.〔("German Americans", University of Louisiana – Lafayette Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism ), accessed 8 Dec 2008〕
