Type of Settlement
History

Rosenfeld was founded in 1859 along the Nachoi River as a Lutheran colony.  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.
