Neu-Hussenbach
Neu-Hussenbach was founded in 1860 by colonists from Hussenbach, Dietel, Huck, Norka, and Grimm. It was located along the Gashon River from which its Russian name was taken.
Today, what remains of the former Volga German settlement of Neu-Hussenbach is known as Pervomayskaya.
As of 1910 there was a Lutheran church in Neu-Hussenbach. The congregation was part of the parish headquartered in Brunnental where the pastor resided.
