Inosemzewo ( Russian Инозе́мцево ) is an urban-type settlement in the North Caucasian region of Stavropol in Russia with 28,398 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The settlement is located on the northern edge of the Greater Caucasus, almost 200 kilometers southeast of the regional capital Stavropol on the upper reaches of smaller right tributaries of the Kuma .

Immediately to the west of Inosemzewo rises the 1400 meter high mountain Beschtau , south of the 993 meter high Maschuk . The city of Pyatigorsk is located a good five kilometers southwest of Inozemzewo .

Inosemzewo belongs to the urban district of the eight kilometers northwest of Zheleznovodsk and has now overtaken the latter in terms of population.

history

In 1802 the village of Karras, inhabited by Tatars , Kabardians and Abasins, was first visited in place of today's Inosemzewo by the Scottish missionaries Henry Brunton and Alexander Paterson, accompanied by the Susu Jellorum Harrison (from today's Guinea ). With the permission of Tsar Alexander I, they founded a mission settlement here in 1806 to convert the local Muslim inhabitants to Christianity. The mission lasted until 1835 and was officially called Schotlandskaja kolonija ( Scottish Colony ), colloquially Schotlandka , a name that was also used later.

The first Volga-German resettlers began arriving as early as 1809 . In 1819 they founded an independent colony called Nikolajewskaja nearby . As a result, Germans made up the vast majority of the inhabitants of the two settlements.

The two German settlements soon became popular excursion destinations for spa guests from the nearby spa baths Pyatigorsk and Zheleznovodsk. Here stayed u. a. the poets Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov . Lermontow spent the evening before his duel death on Mount Maschuk in 1841 in the coffee house of the Germans Gottlieb and Anna Roschke.

In September 1941, the German residents of the settlements (at that time 90 percent of the residents) were deported to the Asian part of the Soviet Union .

In 1959 Karras and Nikolajewka were merged and given the status of an urban-type settlement . At the same time, the name was changed in honor of the engineer and long-time director of the Vladikavkas , later the North Caucasus Railway and initiators of the construction of the branch line to Kislovodsk Ivan Inozemzew (1843-1913), who lived here in the last years of his life.
