history

Building of the Zemstvo administration

The city of Boguchar was founded in 1701, when around 200 Cossacks were settled there. In the 1720s, the first stone church was built in the village, and several craft workshops were also established. The town was granted city rights in 1779, when it already had several thousand inhabitants. In the 18th and 19th centuries, agriculture and trade were predominantly carried out in Boguchar.

During the Second World War , Boguchar was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from July 10 to December 19, 1942. During this time, over 250 buildings in the city were destroyed.

After the withdrawal of the Russian troops from East Germany, residential quarters for soldiers who had been relocated were built in Boguchar with German funds, and Boguchar thus became a garrison town.
