My family put together a book of the family history of the DINKEL's. From what I have they did start out in Germany and then moved to Herzog, Russia(1746-1764) where they were farmers. They then sent a scouting party to the U.S., in 1875 the first people left Russia and settled in Ellis, Kansas, they then founded the town of Herzog to honor their home village. Herzog remained until 1911 when it was changed to Victoria.
