history

Kremenez was founded in the second half of the 12th century in the Principality of Halitsch at the latest and was first mentioned in writing in 1227 in the Galician-Volhyn Chronicle . Later the city was part of the Principality of Halitsch-Volhynien until 1340 . Above the town on the Bona hill are the ruins of the medieval fortress .

During the Mongol invasion of the Rus , the army of Batu Khan failed to capture the fortress at the beginning of 1241. In 1254, the fortress survived a siege by the Tatar Prince Kuremsa (Tatar: Kyremsha). In 1259 or 1261 the fortress was razed. Between 1382 and 1569 the city was in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and between 1569 and 1795 in the Volyn Voivodeship , an administrative unit of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania . From 1795 to 1914 the city was part of the Russian Empire located volhynian governorate .

After the collapse of the Russian Empire during the First World War in 1918, the city became part of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UVR) . From 1921 to 1939 the village belonged to the Volyn Voivodeship in the Second Polish Republic . After the start of World War II in 1939, Kremenez came to the Soviet Union , as agreed in the German-Soviet non-aggression pact , and became part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic . After the German invasion of the Soviet Union , the city was captured by German troops on July 1, 1941. In the period that followed, almost the entire Jewish population was murdered.

The Great Synagogue , built in the first half of the 19th century, was infected by the German occupiers in 1941 and later completely demolished. There is now a public park at this point. Of the 18 prayer houses and synagogues in the interwar period , only the synagogue building in the Dubensk suburb remains in Kremenez, which is used as a bus station after renovations.

After the war, the place came back to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and has been part of the independent Ukraine since 1991.

From 1809 the Austrian botanist Wilibald Swibert Joseph Gottlieb von Besser was director of the Botanical Garden in Kremenez. He died in Kremenets in 1842.

The Kremenez ski jumping facility , which was built in 1965 and consists of several small and medium-sized hills , is also located in Kremenez .

The city was under district administration until May 13, 2015 and from that day was placed under oblast administration (district-free).
