history

The settlement dates back to the village of Batezko, which was first mentioned in a document in the 16th century, a good four kilometers to the east (today part of the municipality, 25 inhabitants in 2010). From the beginning of the 1890s, a railway line from Saint Petersburg via Dno and Novosokolniki to Vitebsk (now in Belarus ) passed there, and a settlement was built at the future railway station named after the village from 1892. The Batezkaya station began regular operations on the entire line in 1903. The station and settlement were on the territory of the Volost Gorodnja in Ujesd Luga of the Saint Petersburg governorate (from 1914 Petrograd governorate , from 1924 Leningrad governorate ), not far from the border with Ujesd Novgorod of the Novgorod governorate .

In 1916/1917 another railway line from Novgorod to Batezkaya was built and construction of the continuation in a westerly direction to Luga began; this part only went into operation in 1922/1923 after the end of the Russian Civil War . The settlement with the thus incurred railway junction was in the 1920s, the most important town in the area and thus on August 1, 1927 of a seat named after her Rajons the newly Leningrad Oblast (to 1930 held by the okrugs Luga).

During the Second World War , Batezki was captured by the German Wehrmacht from August 16 to 18, 1941 and recaptured by the Red Army on February 11, 1944 after five days of fighting over the train station . On July 5, 1944, the Rajon became part of the newly established Novgorod Oblast.

From February 1, 1963 to December 31, 1965, the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory joined the Novgorodsky Rajon.
