The daughter colony of Erlenbach on the Wiesenseite was founded in 1840 by colonists resettling from Meinhard and Philippsfeld along with the Schander family from Basel. It was located 29 kilometers northeast of Fyedorovka on the right bank of the Mius River.
Today, what remains of the former Volga German settlement of Erlenbach is administratively part of the town of Chkalovo.
The Lutheran parish in Erlenbach was served by the pastor from Gnadenflur.
