Rosenfeld (am Jeruslan)
Rosenfeld was formally established as daughter colony in 1859 along the Jeruslan River by colonists from the mother colonies of Huck, Norka, and Moor. A census taken in 1857/58 indicates that there were people living there prior to the official date of its founding.
The colony was located south of the Jeruslan River across from Krasny Kut. By 1910, there were 173 households comprising 1,234 people. In 1915, the name of the colony was changed to Norka (also Norki), most likely to honor one of the mother colonies and to recognize the unpopularity of German place names during World War I. There were 205 households and 911 people in 1926. Today this village is part of the urban area of Krasny Kut.
The settlers in Rosenfeld were primarily of the Reformed faith.
