I still wonder why Volga Germans looks lighter than the average German, if theres any reason for that.

I think because they don't have huguenot's ancestry.

Leptomorphic (narrow-faced) Germans:



Dinarid influence seems to be common all over Germany. It's what sets the German Nordids apart from Nordids in other countries.

Dinarids possess an aquiline nose, a long upper face and a leptoprosopic to hyperleptoprosopic index, when length and breadth are put into relation to each other.

The Dinarid face strikes one as as 'long', the Cromagnid as 'short-broad', the Westmediterranid as 'short-narrow'.

On the origin of the Dinarid type, Russian anthropologist Cheboksarov wrote in his essay 'German Racial Types':

The narrow face (by European standards), which is peculiar to all of the south-German craniological series, is typical precisely of the Dinaric brachycranial variant and not of the Alpine.
...
The Dinaric type obviously is connected with southeastern Europe - with the Danube basin and the Balkan peninsula. The question whether this type is the result of brachycephalization in ancient long-headed Europeans of the Mediterranean zone, or whether it has been compounded out of elements coming from Hither Asia, cannot be considered as definitively settled.

In his book 'The Races of Europe', Coon shared his observations about a Dinarid racial trend in both northern and southern areas of Germany:

The [North German] Fehmarners, although quite variable individually, cannot readily be divided into distinct sub-types, since the prevailing Borreby strain has permeated the small, endogamous population thoroughly. Correlations indicate the presence in small numbers of a more brachycephalic element characterized by darker eyes than the total group, and by a convex nasal profile; this may be a Bell Beaker Dinaric survival, but if so it is almost completely absorbed.
...
This type, which is Dinaric, may in part have been introduced by general population movements in modern times From South to North Germany.
...
These Vogelbergers belong to a number of different types common elsewhere in Germany. Some of them are apparently standard Nordics, but the heavier, coarser featured types of North Germany are commoner, and there is a strong minority of South German-looking Dinarics. Eighteen per cent of straight occiputs indicates the presence of this group clearly.
...
The first two of these groups are descendants of the Alemanni and preserve evidence of this ancestry in their dialects and culture. The Lake Constance farmers, representing the westernmost of the South German mountain peoples, have a mean stature of 169 cm., placing them in the same height category as the Vogelbergers, but are somewhat shorter than most of the North Germans. Their heads are moderately long, with a mean length of 189 mm., and a cephalic index of 82, which, while brachycephalic, is low for southern Germany. These people are for the most part dark brown or brown-haired, with a very small minority of hair blondism. Their eye color is predominantly mixed, and pure dark eyes are found in 18 per cent of the group. They are long-faced, with a mean facial index of 91, and the very leptorrhine mean nasal index of 59. They seem to be largely Dinaric, with a minor element of Alpine and a few big, thick-set Borreby-like individuals.
...
While the group just mentioned lives in the Rhine Valley, on a high-road of migration, the Swabians of Genkingen live in an isolated mountain environment. They are almost exclusively Dinaric and Noric, especially the former.

Well, in my opinion their nose shape is rather Dinarid.

Just compare the body height, face shapes, skin tones and noses of these German girls - the one in the middle is a fairly typical German Dinaroid, while the one on the left is Borreby-Dinarid and the one on the right a Nordid-Borreby blend:
