history

The city of Ivanovo was mentioned for the first time in 1561, in the 17th century it had developed into a trading town. Tsar Peter the Great ordered the establishment of textile factories in 1710 and recruited Dutch craftsmen and entrepreneurs to found factories in Ivanovo. In 1825 there were already 125 factories in and around Iwanowo. With the opening of the first textile printing factory in 1787 and the cotton mill in 1838, Ivanovo developed into a center of the textile industry and the labor movement and was called the Russian Manchester . After the union with the village of Voznesensky Posad (Вознесенский Посад) the city was called Ivanovo-Voznesensk (Иваново-Вознесенск) from 1871 to 1932 . The official award of the town charter took place on August 30, 1873. At that time the population was around 11,000. Ivanovo was one of the centers of the revolution of 1905 , the first workers' council ( Soviet ) was established here. Today the city is the capital of an oblast with numerous administrative and cultural institutions. Important branches of industry are still the textile industry, along with the chemical industry and mechanical engineering. The city is popularly known as “Город невест” - “City of Brides” - because the textile industry in its heyday attracted many young women as workers. The closure of numerous companies in the textile industry in the 1990s led the city into a long-term economic crisis.

The "International Children's Home" ( Interdom ) founded by the International Red Aid in 1933 is still located in Ivanovo today . On the occasion of his 70th birthday, the documentary Os Filhos de Ivanovo was made in Portugal in 2003 , which shows the history of the solidary home and its international students, based on the Portuguese José Serra, who lived here from 1968 until the Carnation Revolution in 1974. The German film Interdom by Iraqi director Nasir Al-Jezairi from 2006 also deals with the institution that brings people together.

Camp for German prisoners of war

In the city there was the POW camp 324 for German prisoners of war of the Second World War . Seriously ill people were cared for in prisoner-of-war hospital 3840 in Shuja , 30 km away .
