history

Makiivka was called Dimitrijewsk until 1931, and its history goes back to the 17th century. In the 19th century, the Cossack settlements of Yasynivka , Nyschnja Krynka , Zemlyanky , Makijiwka and Shchehlow were combined to form the Makiyivsk district; the Dimitrijewsk settlement developed into the district's cultural, commercial and administrative center.

In 1917 Dimitrijewsk received the status of a city and was renamed Makiyivka on April 5, 1931. Since 1938 the city has been divided into four Stadtrajons: Zentralno-Misto (city center), Kirov, Radjansk / Soviet, Chervonohwardija; In 1975 a fifth, Hirnyz, was added. The Makiyivka tram, which had existed since 1924, was abandoned in 2006.

In the town there was a POW camp 471 , Makeevka , for German prisoners of war of the Second World War . Seriously ill people were cared for in the POW Hospital 3099 .

The city has been under the control of the internationally unrecognized Donetsk People's Republic since 2014 and, according to the Ukrainian government, belongs to an area in which the organs of state power temporarily do not exercise their powers.

Economy and Infrastructure

Makiyivka and Donetsk have grown together and have the same industrial structure: metallurgy and coal mining . Since the 1970s there have been plans to unite the two cities and build a new joint city center. A new, large central train station and a subway connection were planned. As a twin city, Donetsk-Makiivka would have become the second largest city in Ukraine after Kiev, with around 1.5 million inhabitants . These plans have not yet been implemented.
