history

The place arose at the beginning of the 16th century on lands that had been assigned to the voivode Dmitri Kondyrjow for services in the campaign from 1500 to 1501 against the Grand Duchy of Lithuania , and was named after this Kondyrjowo ( Кондырёво ).

In 1800 a paper mill was established here, which was known for its high quality products towards the end of the 19th century. From the 1840s the current place name form came into use.

In the village of Troitskoye ( Троицкое ; up to the middle of the 19th century alternatively also Вздынь ), founded a little south in the second half of the 17th century, a paper mill was also opened in 1786, which in 1809 was expanded to include a paint factory (for Berlin blue , in Russian as " Lasur “) expanded.

In 1925 Kondrovo and Troitskoye were granted the status of (independent) urban-type settlements . In 1938 the places, which had actually grown together in the meantime, were united and received city rights under the name of the larger Kondrowo.

During the Second World War , Kondrovo was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on October 9, 1941 and recaptured on January 19, 1942 by the Western Front of the Red Army as part of the Rzhev-Vyazma operation .
