Majdan ( Ukrainian Майдан ; Russian Майдан Maidan , Polish Majdan , formerly Majdan Żelazny ) is a village in the western Ukrainian Lviv Oblast with about 350 inhabitants.
The village belongs together with the village of Rybnyk ( Рибник ) to the district council of Rybnyk.
history
The village probably originated in the 2nd half of the 18th century as a settlement of workers who were mining the lawn iron stone. It initially belonged to the Ruthenian Voivodeship of the aristocratic republic of Poland-Lithuania . During the first partition of Poland in 1772 the village became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire (from 1804).
The iron ore was mined until the end of the 19th century. There was a blacksmith shop there that employed around 100 workers. Around 1820 south of Majdan, a settlement of the German forest workers Mallmannsthal or Polonized Malmanstal arose . In 1861 a Roman Catholic chapel was built in Majdan.
In 1900 the municipality of Majdan had 78 houses with 495 inhabitants, of which 224 were Ruthenian-speaking, 221 were Polish-speaking, 44 were German-speaking, 221 were Roman-Catholic, 216 were Greek-Catholic, and 58 were Jews.
After the end of the First World War in 1918 and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Majdan came to Poland.
In 1921 the municipality of Majdan had 120 houses with 710 inhabitants, of which 364 Poles, 245 Ruthenians, 7 Germans, 84 Jews (nationality), 10 other nationalities, 365 Roman Catholic, 258 Greek Catholic, 3 Protestant, 84 Jews (religion ).
In 1930 a mountain hut of the drohobytschen PTT was opened in Malmanstal. Before the Second World War , Majdan and Malmanstal had about 1000 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Roman Catholic Poles or Polonized descendants of the Germans. From 1938 a brick Roman Catholic church was under construction.
During the Second World War it belonged first to the Soviet Union and from 1941 to the General Government, from 1945 back to the Soviet Union, now part of the Ukraine . On September 18, 1939, 20 Polish soldiers were killed by OUN . In February 1940, 7 Polish families (over 30 people) were driven to Siberia . In 1943, 15 Poles were killed by Ukrainian nationalists. The Poles left the place after 1945. The Malmanstal settlement was later burned and destroyed.
