history

2 hryvnia, 100 years commemorative coin (1998)

In 1828 , Duke Ferdinand von Anhalt-Köthen founded a colony of the Duchy of Anhalt-Köthen with the name Ascania Nova . The transfer of the land (550 km²) took place on March 3rd by a ukase from the Tsar. The name, transcribed in Russian Askanija-Nowa, refers to the Anhalt ducal family of the Ascanians and means New Ascania . The estate was also known as Gut Tschapli .

The ducal house sold the estate with 30,000 sheep in 1856 for around 1.5 million gold marks to the German-Russian aristocratic landowner Friedrich Fein .

In addition to breeding livestock, his descendants began building a zoo in 1874 and a botanical garden in 1887. In the late 1890s, they were considered the best sheep breeders in Russia. Horses for the Russian military were also bred here.

During the October Revolution of 1917 the courtyard was badly devastated; the German owners, the Falz-Fein family, had to flee to Germany or were shot by Red Guards. In 1921 the Askanija-Nova estate was declared a nature reserve, making it the oldest in present-day Ukraine.

Askanija-Nowa has had the status of an urban-type settlement since 1938. In 1940 the open-air park was re-established on the territory of the former estate.

During the Second World War , Askanija-Nowa was temporarily the command post of the 11th German Army during the fighting to conquer the entrances to the Crimean peninsula .

As a result of the Second World War , many animals were lost as spoils of war or fighting, as well as all scientific documents.

Since 1956, the nature reserve around the Askanija-Nowa settlement has been subordinate to the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences and is called the Ukrainian Scientific Ivanov Institute, a research institute for steppe animals . The nature reserve has been registered in the UNESCO International System of Nature Reserves since 1984 .
