Neuland Colony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neuland Colony is a settlement of Russian Mennonites in the Boquerón Department of Paraguay with nearly 3000 residents (2006).
The site is near Filadelfia, the capital of Boquerón, and not far from neighbouring Presidente Hayes Department. Neuland is within the Gran Chaco and hosts among other things a museum of colonisation history and a monument remembering the Chaco War.
The monthly newspaper Neuland – Informiert und Diskutiert is one of several German language newspapers in Paraguay.
