Beresyne (Ukrainian Березине ; Russian Березино / Beresino , German Beresina ) is an urban-type settlement with 3,830 inhabitants in the Ukraine , founded by German emigrants in 1816. It is located west of Odessa in Odessa Oblast between the Black Sea and the border with Moldova . Located 6 km northeast of Tarutyne , it is part of the Tarutyne district.

Other neighboring towns, also founded by German emigrants, are Borodino and Wessela Dolyna (German formerly Klöstitz ).

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 of 1813, Tsar Alexander I called German colonists into the country to colonize the newly won steppe areas in New Russia. Here, in 1816, German emigrants founded Beresina as village number 7 in the valley of the river Kohylnyk (Kogälnik). 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. Of the emigrants who settled here in 1816, 65 German families came from the Warsaw area (formerly Prussian Poles) who had emigrated there a few years earlier. Because of their area of ​​origin, they were called "Warsaw colonists". They came across 72 families of Swabian emigrants from Württemberg and Baden who drove down the Danube to the Black Sea using Ulm boxes .

The place name refers to the victorious battle of the Beresina of the Russians against Napoleon during the Patriotic War of 1812. Under the direction of the Russian settlement authority, many settlements newly established as well Berezina, were places of victorious battles against Napoleon named.

Beresina was a settlement with predominantly German residents until 1940. Until then, they had retained their German mother tongue in the Swabian dialect , even if the official and school languages ​​were Russian or Romanian. In 1891 the limestone church building with 750 seats was completed. The construction of a railway line from 1914 with a station close to the site brought decisive economic progress. The line from Leipzig to Akkerman opened on January 2, 1916, facilitated the removal of agricultural products and led to the establishment of shops. From the establishment of the settlement in 1816 to 1940, the place grew to around 3,000 people, including 2,653 people of German descent. Like all of Bessarabia, Beresina belonged to the Russian Empire until 1917. After the First World War, it was Romanian territory.

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 1944 (and briefly 1940 to 1941) the place belonged to the Soviet Union , and since its collapse in 1991 it is now Ukrainian territory. Beresyne has been an urban-type settlement since 1957.
