history

The Bachmut Fortress was founded in 1703 . From the 18th century, salt was extracted in the vicinity of the city and there was intensive salt trade . In the 19th century the city was the administrative center of Ujesd Bachmut in the Yekaterinoslav governorate . In 1924 the city was renamed Artemivsk in honor of the Russian revolutionary Artyom .

The imported include Germany Krimsekt is in Bachmut in a former chalk mine, and not, as often assumed on the peninsula Crimea produced from wines mainly from the peninsula. In the extensive underground passages and caves, members of the Wehrmacht killed the population during World War II . Between January 9 and 12, 1942, around 3,000 Jews from the city were transported to a tunnel in the former gypsum mine by members of Einsatzgruppe C with the logistical assistance of the 17th Army, where they were 50–70 meters underground walled in. In order to cover up the action, the walls of the gallery were blown off. In September 1943, after the city was liberated by the Red Army as part of the Donets Basin operation , the bodies were discovered and recovered after some searching. As the corpses were mummified rather than decomposed due to the unusual climatic conditions in the tunnel (permanent temperature of + 12-14 ° and humidity of 88-90%), a number of them could be identified. In 1950, the Bachmuter sparkling wine factory (Krimsekt) was set up in the same mine because of these specific climatic conditions. At the place where the local Jews were walled up in January 1941, there is now the “Wall of Tears” to commemorate.

In 1999 it became known that the Ukrainian government was planning a repository for highly radioactive nuclear waste in Bachmut in the salt mine of the Soledar district. The local environmental and civil rights groups Mama-86 and Bahmat were able to prevent this project with the help of the German citizens' initiative environmental protection Lüchow-Dannenberg .

On April 24, 2014, pro-Russian separatists attacked an army base in the city. The Ukrainian army repulsed the attack.
