History
The defiant colony of Debof. It was founded on May 20, 1767 . Founders - 28 families, immigrants from the Palatinate . Until 1917, the German colony was first the Nork colonial district, and after 1871 the Oleshinsky volost of the Kamyshin district of the Saratov province [2] .
The village belonged first to the evangelical parish of Messer , then Dittel . The wooden church was built in 1887. In the colony there were: mills, weaving sarpinki, winnowing, tanneries, carpentry. In 1893 a zemstvo school was opened [2]
In the Soviet period - the German village of the first Medveditsky district of the Golo-Karamysh district of the Labor Commune (Oblast) of the Volga Germans ; from 1922 - the Medveditsky-Krestovo-Bueraksky (in 1927 it was renamed to Frankish ) canton of the Volga Germans Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic ; the administrative center of the Kauts village council (in 1926, one village of Kauts was part of the village council) [2] . During the famine of 1921, 83 people were born, 130 died. In 1926 there was a cooperative shop, an agricultural credit partnership, an elementary school, and a mobile library [3] . During the period of collectivization , collective farms named after Molotov were organized [2] .
In 1927, the decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee "On Changes in the Administrative Division of the Autonomous Autonomous Region of SRS Nemtsev of the Volga Region and the Assignment of German Names to the Old Names that Existed Before 1914" returned the name Kautz to the village of Vershinka of the Frankish Canton [4] .
In September 1941, the German population was deported . After the liquidation of the Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of the Volga region, the village, like other settlements of the French canton (the canton was transformed into the Medveditsky district), became part of the Stalingrad region. By the decision of the regional executive committee of March 31, 1944 No. 10 § 30 “On the renaming of settlements of the Stalingrad region bearing German names”, the village of Kauts of the Medveditsky district was again renamed the village of Vershinka .

The village of Vershinka was excluded from accounting data by Decision of the Executive Committee of the Volgograd Regional Council of January 10, 1973 No. 2/21 "On the exclusion from the registration data of the settlements of the region" [5] .
