http://www.hefersweiler-berzweiler.de/html/frame/frame-start.html gives the reasons for emigration east: 1750/ 1763: the Prussian king, Friedrich II., won a long war (1756 - 1763) against the immense superiority of Russian, Austrian and French troops. Prussia needed a lot of people to built up an infra-structure in the conquered countries. The immigrants got a super initial aid: free farmland, animals, seeds, money. For ten Thousands irresistible conditions for a better life. And additional, for 10 years no taxes & freedom of worship.

1785: The kingdom of Austria & Hungarian won wars against the Ottoman Turkey. The Turks were driven out and the government needed settlers. They sent out messengers first only into catholic countries, but not enough people came. After two unsuccessful trials in 30 years, the very catholic Austrian king opened the areas in Galicia and in Batschka/Banat (today in North Yugoslavia) for the Lutherans. I estimated that, about 30 people from Hefersweiler/ Berzweiler went to Austria; they became the same supports & conditions as the Prussians guaranteed.
