Marienburg
Marienburg was officially founded in 1860, but already by 1857 there were 107 families living there.
In 1869, a large number of colonists from Schönchen resettled here.
A regional school was constructed in Marienburg in 1926.
Today, all that remains of the former daughter colony of Marienburg are the remnants of a collective called Marinovka.
A Roman Catholic church was constructed in Marienburg in 1870, and in 1871 it became an independent parish.
The following priests have served the parish in Marienburg:
Johann Gerhardt Dornhof (1910)
Johannes Falkenstein (1913-1917)
