Meden Rudnik ( Bulgarian Меден Рудник ; German: "copper ore mine") is the largest urban district of the Bulgarian Black Sea city ​​of Burgas with over 57,000 inhabitants . In 1975 the former village of the same name was incorporated into the city of Burgas. The village is now a microrajon in the Meden Rudnik district.

The old name of the village was Kara Bair (Bulgar. Кара Баир, from the door .: Black peak).

location

The Meden Rudnik district is located on the north side of Mandra Lake , one of the Burgasseen . Meden Rudnik is only connected to the rest of the city center by a four-lane road that runs along a dam on the shores of Lake Burgas and Lake Mandra. The arterial road to Sredez and Elchowo runs through the quarter .

Parts of the district are on the southern slope of the Warli brjag summit (209 m) in the northern foothills of the Strandscha Mountains. The city is growing along the beach saddle summit Cherni Vrah (bulg. Черни връх to dt. Black Summit ; not to be confused with the Cherni Vrah in the Vitosha mountain ) and Schiloto (bulg. Шилото to dt. Awl ).

history

In ancient times, a Thracian fortress was built on the Shiloto hill which protected the nearby copper mines at Warli Brjag and Tscherni Wrach , which were owned by Thracian princes. Later a Greco-Roman temple of the god Apollon Musagete (Apollo as a guide of the muses) was built there.

The place of today's Burgas emerged from a Thracian settlement on the western bank of today's Mandra Lake, at the mouth of the Sredecka River. The name of the settlement Deultum (also Develtum, Debeltum, Debeltus or Develt) means “between two lakes (situated)” in Thracian. Between 383 and 359 BC The place became part of the Odrysen Empire under Kotys I. In antiquity, however, the more important neighboring cities of Apollonia Pontica and Mesembria inhibited the development of the smaller settlement. The ancient Colonia Flavia Deultemsium (→ History of the City of Burgas ), which existed until the Ottomans conquered the region in 1367/1368 , was created by Meden Rudnik in Roman times .

After the liberation of Bulgaria , when part of the Bulgarians remained under Ottoman-Turkish rule, Burgas developed into the largest refugee center in Bulgaria. In 1884 Kara Bair had 305 inhabitants. Like other districts of Burgas ( Sarafowo , Kraimorie ), the story of Meden Rudnik is closely connected to the Bulgarian refugees from the Balkan Wars of 1912/13 from Eastern and Western Thrace ( Thracian Bulgarians ) and Macedonia ( Macedonian Bulgarians ). At that time the pastures of several large landowners from Burgas were on the present-day territory of Meden Rudenik. In 1913 another 10 to 12 refugee families settled here without a permit. After several unsuccessful attempts on the part of the city and the large landowners to drive out the refugees, the number of whom was growing, the camp became a locality ( Machalla ) in 1920 and was recognized under the name Kara Bair.

In 1931 the Machala was renamed Rudnik. In 1934 the Machale was recognized as a village and renamed Meden Rudnik. In 1975 the village was integrated into the city of Burgas as a district. The collectivism of agriculture pursued by the Bulgarian communists and the state-mandated planned economy , which drove the industrialization of Burgas, were largely responsible for the population growth in Meden Rudnik. In the following years, a satellite town was built near the village .

Today there are 4 primary schools and a technical vocational high school in the district. The district is divided into 5 zones, which are designated with the first Cyrillic letters: А (A), Б (dt: B), В (dt: W), Г (dt. G) and Д (dt. D). Lower buildings predominate in zone Д and in the former village.

The Nikola Stantschew sports hall was opened in 2009.
