Lindenau
Lindenau was founded by Mennonite colonists from West Prussia in 1858. It was located on a bluff above the Tarlyk River which was lined with Linden trees from which it took its name. Lindenau was one of a group of Mennonite Colonies known as the Am Trakt Settlement.
During the anti-German renaming of 1914-1916, Lindenau was given the name of Ovrazhnoye which means ravine.
Today, nothing remains of the former settlement of Lindenau.
There was a church building in Lindenau.
