Ostenfeld
Ostenfeld was founded by Mennonite colonists from West Prussia in 1872. The colony was named in honor of the Chief Administrator of the Kontora (Office of Immigrant Oversight), Herr Osten-Sacken. Ostenfeld was one of a group of Mennonite Colonies known as the Am Trakt Settlement.
Today, what remains of Ostenfeld is known as Voroshilovo.
The colonists in Osterfeld were members of the Köppental-Orloff congregation.
