Debelt ( Bulgarian Дебелт ) is a village in the municipality of Sredez in Burgas Oblast in southeastern Bulgaria . The village is located in the Burgas Plain , around 10 km east of the Sredez community center and around 15 km west of the provincial capital Burgas .
history
The settlement of the area of today's village Debelt is connected with the establishment of the Thracian settlement Deultum (translated from Thracian between two lakes (located) ). To the east of it a colony for veterans of Legio VIII Augusta was founded by the Roman Emperor Vespasian in AD 77 . The name of this colony was Colonia Flavia Pacis Deultensium and it is located between the present-day villages of Debelt and Konstantinowo . The thermal baths and a city palace were archaeologically examined near Debelt . On the road to Burgas, next to the main excavation site, a branch of the Archaeological Museum in Burgas was set up in the 1980s, which is now managed by the Museum in Sredez. Develtum was awarded the European Heritage Label by the Bulgarian state in 2010 .
In the vicinity of Debelt runs on the old Bulgarian border wall Erkesija , which was built in the 9th century and reached from today's Burgas to Simeonowgrad to the river Mariza in the Thrace plain .
In the Russo-Ottoman War (1828-1829) , the region was captured by Russian troops in July 1829 with the support of the local population. When, after the Peace of Adrianople (1829), it became known that the region would remain in the Ottoman-Turkish Empire, the Christian residents moved away with the Russian army from the advancing Turks and settled mainly in Bessarabia . In 1864 the Ottoman government settled Circassians in the abandoned villages of the region, including in Debelt, which was called Yakezli (or Akezli) during this period . In the following period Circassian robber gangs attacked and terrorized the region. After the Russo-Turkish War of Liberation of 1877/78, the Circassians fled from the advancing Russians. At that time the village was more than 7 km from Mandra Lake.
The concentration of refugees from the not yet liberated areas of Bulgaria and the proximity of the Ottoman border meant that in the run-up to the Ilinden-Preobraschenie uprising (1903) in eastern Thrace Burgas became an important logistical base of the BMARK . Training camps were set up at Yakezli and, after the uprising, some provisions and refugee camps were set up. After the Balkan War of 1913, 76 Bulgarian refugee families (→ Thracian Bulgarians ) from Eastern Thrace were settled in Yakezli. 44 of them from Dokuzhüyük , 16 from Geçkinli , 4 from Sarıpolat , 2 each from Süloğlu and Örencik (near Istanbul), one each from Kavaklı and other places.
On August 14, 1934, the village was renamed Debelt after the former Roman colony .
In 1985 Debelt had 1739 inhabitants.
Trivia
The Debelt Glacier on Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica is named after Debelt.
