Rosenfeld (am Nakhoi)
In 1859, Rosenfeld was founded along the Nakhoi River. The original settlers relocated to Rosenfeld from the following colonies:
Enders (1 family)
Rosenheim (19 families)
Reinwald (30 families)
Krasnoyar (31 families)
Nieder-Monjou (2 families)
Schwed (1 family)
Schulz (1 family)
As of 1910, there were a Lutheran church, a school, and three windmills in the colony.
Because of their proximity, Rosenfeld and Gnadendorf were merged into one settlement during the Soviet era.
The Lutheran congregation in Rosenfeld am Nakhoi was part of the parish headquartered in Weizenfeld.
