Originally settled by colonists from Zürich, the khutor (farmstead) of Alt-Zürich was located 130 kilometers northeast of Engels on the left bank of the Bolshoi Kushum River.
Following the deportation of the Volga Germans in 1941, the settlement was renamed Stakhanovo. Today, nothing remains of the former Volga German settlement of Alt-Zürich.
The congregation in Alt-Zürich belonged to the Lutheran parish headquartered in Gnadenflur.
