Malcoci

The church and the memory. No reconstructed folklore.

Malcoci, in full

Malcoci is a village between Tulcea and Nufăru, on the road toward the Delta. The Dobruja Germans came here from the colonies in southern Russia, not directly from Germany, in the nineteenth century.

In 1940 almost the whole community was resettled through the “Heim ins Reich” programme. The church, the historic cemetery and the memory remained. We do not invent dances, costumes or guidebook “German traditions”.

The village is lived in today by others. It is viewed from the road. The old cemetery: respect, no photos of recent graves.
