Fürsorge-Komitee (Fürsorgekomitee; Guardians' Committee) was the name of the agency established by the Russian government in 1818 to succeed other agencies to supervise the foreign settlements in [[Russia|Russia]], and be responsible for their progress and administration. The full name was Guardians' Committee of the Foreign Colonists in the Southern Regions of Russia (German, <em>Fürsorge-Komitee für die Kolonisten der südlichen Gebiete Russlands</em>). It had its seat originally at [[Kherson (Kherson Oblast, Ukraine)|Kherson]], later at [[Ekaterinoslav (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Ukraine)|Ekaterinoslav]], and finally at [[Odessa (Ukraine)|Odessa]]. It had three branch offices; Ekaterinoslav, Kherson, and Bessarabia. At first the Fürsorge-Komitee was subject to the Ministry of the Interior. In 1837 it became subject to the Ministry of Royal Estates. Both agencies were located in St. Petersburg. In 1871 the Fürsorge-Komitee was abolished and the foreign settlers, including the Mennonites, became subject to the provincial and local authorities of their respective settlements and communities.
