- Administrative/biographical history:
- Fedor (Teodor) Rudol’fovich Shteingel’ (1870-1946) was a baron, public figure and diplomat, researcher on the history and archaeology of Volhynia, and museumist. He was born in the village of Gorodok (Rovno county, Volhynia province; now the Rivne/Rovno region) into a family of the landowner class. He graduated from Kiev’s St. Vladimir University. Since his student years, he was interested in local history, and in 1896 established on his own estate in the village of Gorodok a museum (one of the first in Right-Bank Ukraine) featuring valuable exhibits on the history and ethnography of Volhynia. As an active member of the Society of Volhynia Researchers, he published a number of scholarly works on history and archaeology. In 1906, he was elected a deputy of the First State Duma, and during the First World War he headed the Southwestern Front committee of the All-Russian Union of Cities. In 1918, during the Hetmanate, he was appointed the Ukrainian State’s ambassador to Germany. He subsequently lived in Western Ukraine, and in 1939 emigrated to Germany. He died in Radenburg (according to other sources, in Dresden, where he is buried).
