Reinsfeld was a colony founded in 1864 north of Samara by settlers coming from Poland following the uprising there in 1863. A number of them were weavers and artisans from Lotz. Some of the first families were Ebert, Rabek, Rakko, and Pugan.
All Germans were deported from Reinsfeld in 1941.
In 1952, the village was remained Zalesye, and what remains today of the former colony of Reinsfeld is known as Zalesye.
There were both Baptist and Catholic settlers in Reinsfeld. The Baptists maintained a prayer house (Bethaus).
