history

The place lies in the historical landscape of Bessarabia . The area of ​​Bessarabia came in 1812 in the Treaty of Bucharest from the Ottoman vassal state of Moldova together with the Budschak to the Russian Empire . The new acquisition was treated as a colonization area and initially assigned to the Governor General of New Russia . In a manifesto from 1813, Emperor Alexander I called German colonists into the country to colonize the newly won steppe areas in New Russia. Here in 1816 German emigrants founded Arzis as Colony 14 at the confluence of the Kogälnik and Tschaga rivers. The place belongs to the 24 Bessarabian German mother colonies. They were established by immigrants, while daughter colonies were later established by residents of the mother colonies. The emigrants who settled here in 1816 came from the Prussian Poland area in the Kingdom of Poland. The first group of 82 families came from the district of Kulm, the second group from the province of Kalisch. The place name Arzis was given by the Russian settlement authorities and is reminiscent of the battle of Arcis-sur-Aube between the allies and Napoleon near the French town of Arcis-sur-Aube .

In the first few years, the Arzis settlement suffered considerable setbacks, also due to poor harvests. In 1824 the village of Neu-Arzis was divided as a daughter colony, as the fields were up to 10 km from the village. 180 fell victim to a plague epidemic in 1829 and 280 to cholera. In the 20th century retail and a small industry emerged in the place with cloth mills, dye works and factories for agricultural machines.

The rapidly developing settlement belonged to the Russian Empire until 1918 , when it became part of the Kingdom of Romania . After the Soviet occupation of Bessarabia in the summer of 1940, covered by the Hitler-Stalin Pact , the Bessarabian German residents joined the resettlement to the German Reich in autumn 1940 under the motto Heim ins Reich . From 1941 to 1944, Arzys was occupied by Romania, after which it was part of the Ukrainian SSR . Arzys has had town charter since 1963. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the city became part of independent Ukraine.
