The Lutheran congregation in Paulskaya became an independent parish in 1905 with a resident pastor.
Paulskaya was founded as a Lutheran colony on 7 June 1767 by Baron Caneau de Beauregard. He named it Paulskaya in honor of Paul, the son of Catherine the Great and heir apparent.
After 1915, Paulskaya was known by the name of Pavlovka.
