Karpinsk ( Russian Карпинск ; until 1941 Bogoslowsk ( Богословск )) is a city with 29,113 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010) in Sverdlovsk Oblast ( Russia ).

geography

Karpinsk is located in the north of the Sverdlovsk Oblast on Sosva influx Turja , 80 km east of the Ural Mountains and 436 km north of the regional capital Yekaterinburg . Immediately to the east of Karpinsk is the city of Krasnoturjinsk ; another nearby city is Volchansk 18 km north.

history

Karpinsk was founded in 1759 as a settlement that belonged to a metallurgy plant founded at the same time and completed in 1770 . This mainly processed the copper ore that was abundantly mined nearby and was one of the leading companies in the metal industry in the Ural region as early as the 18th century. After the church of the Evangelist Johannes (called Bogoslow in Russian - "the preacher") built here, the deposit was called Bogoslowskoye and the village was called Bogoslowsk until 1941 .

Up until the beginning of the 20th century, Bogoslowsk was a leader in copper production and for this reason it was also one of the richest places in the Urals. A few decades later, however, the copper mining had to be stopped because the ore deposits were running out. Instead, lignite was mined here from 1911 . From 1939 to 1941 new large mines were put into operation, which made the place grow. As a result, it received city status in 1941 and its current name in honor of the geologist Alexander Karpinski (1846-1936), who was born here.

From 1945 to 1949 there was a labor camp near Karpinsk for Russian Germans and German civilians, who had been deported here as forced laborers , mainly from East Prussia and Pomerania . They were women and men between the ages of 15 and 65. Those able to work had to work in coal mining (opencast mining, lumpy brown coal), housing, road construction or in the quarry, sometimes as craftsmen in various companies. Seasonal work brigades were used as forest workers in the taiga . In addition, there was a prisoner of war camp 504 in Karpinsk for German prisoners of war of the Second World War .

Economy and Transport

The Karpinsk industry is still mainly focused on coal mining; in particular, mining equipment is produced. To a lesser extent, there is still lignite mining and food and light industry.

Karpinsk has a railway connection on a branch line with connections via Krasnoturjinsk to Serov and via the latter to Nizhny Tagil and Yekaterinburg . From 1946 to 1994 Karpinsk had its own tram network , which until 1967 had an overland connection to Volchansk . Regional buses have been in operation since the line was closed.
