Oberdorf
Oberdorf was a daughter colony officially founded in 1852 by families resettling from the colonies of Norka, Grimm, Kutter, Dönhof, Stephan, Shcherbakovka, Galka, Holstein, Dobrinka, Müller, and Schwab.
In 1828, a colonist named Becker from Kamenka established a khutor at the place where a Russian named Kuptsov had also had a khutor earlier. As additional colonists settled there, the place became known as Becker's Khutor. It was later called Oberdorf and is now known by the Russian name Kuptsovo.
Oberdorf and Neu-Norka were part of the Rosenberg parish.
Some of the Norka families known to have lived in Oberdorf include Göbel, Klaus, Schmer, Schreiber, and Weigandt.
