history

From archaeological finds show that before 5000 to 6000 years at this point offices Scythian nomads were. At the turn of the 15th to the 16th century, serf peasants from Central Russia fled the yoke of their feudal lords to the Dnepr (ukrain. Dnipro ) on free land and called themselves Cossacks , which meant free people.

The Zaporozhian Cossacks write a letter to the Turkish sultan , painting by Ilya Efimovich Repin , 1880, Russian Museum St. Petersburg

On the small Dnepr island of Mala Khortyzja , the ataman Dmytro Wyschneweckyj built a sitsch in 1552 , which today is considered by many to be the first Zaporozhian sitsch and the "cradle of Zaporozhian Cossack " , despite research findings to the contrary . In the 18th century, the Cossacks became a privileged military class in Tsarist Russia , who received land at the national borders, but had to protect these borders militarily. Nevertheless, they submitted to the rule of the Ottomans and Crimean Tatars from 1711 to 1739 .

As a result of the Russo-Austrian Turkish War , Zaporizhia fell to Russia in 1739 through the Peace of Belgrade . In 1770 a fortress was built on the Dnieper River , next to which the village of Oleksandrivsk , the forerunner of today's Zaporizhia, arose. In the 19th century the city was the administrative center of Ujesd Alexandrowsk in the Yekaterinoslav Governorate . Until the beginning of the 20th century, Oleksandrivsk was a district town that was renamed Zaporozhye in 1921 .

In 1932/33, the city was hit by the Holodomor , a huge famine that killed many of the city's residents.

During the German-Soviet War , the city was occupied by the Wehrmacht from October 4, 1941 to October 14, 1943 and was badly affected. At the end of and after the Second World War , the city was the location of the POW camp 100 , Zaporizhia , for German prisoners of war . Seriously ill people were cared for in the prisoner-of-war hospital in 1149 . More than 35,000 dead are buried in individual or mass graves in various cemeteries for prisoners of war.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union , Zaporizhia became part of today's independent Ukraine in 1991 .

economy

Industry

After the end of the civil war (1918–1921), intensive industrial development began. The construction of the hydropower plant on the Dnepr, which was completed on May 1, 1932 and was one of the largest in Europe at the time, made a decisive contribution . It was rebuilt in 1947 after being destroyed in the war.

The availability of cheap electricity and the proximity of the deposits of coal , iron ore and manganese meant favorable conditions for the establishment of large-scale ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy and mechanical engineering companies . The largest company is the company Saporisky Awtomobilebudiwny Zavod (ZAZ or SAS), which has been active since the 1920s and has been producing cars since the 1960s, and which is best known for its Saporoshez brand cars .

Today Zaporizhia is an important industrial center of the region with companies in the heavy industry (especially metallurgy ), the aluminum and chemical industries. Aircraft engines , agricultural machinery and motor vehicles ( ZAZ ) , among other things , are manufactured in the city . The port of Zaporizhia is a transshipment point for goods from the entire Donets Basin .

energy

Hydroelectric power plant

Zaporizhia nuclear power plant near Enerhodar

The largest central hydropower station (hydroelectric station) in Ukraine on the Dnepr river , the "DneproGES 2", is located near Zaporizhia. The dam, originally called "DneproGES" or Dnjeprostroj , was built from 1927 to 1932 near the city of Zaporizhia, where the Dnieper near the island of Chortitza was notorious for its rapids and rocks in the water. This is the place from which the city got its name ( Zaporozhye means "behind the rapids" - sa = behind, porous = stones, rocks). "DneproGES" was put into operation in 1932 and by 1939 the electrical station had reached its planned production capacity.

The hydroelectric power station was destroyed in the Second World War and rebuilt between 1944 and 1950 as "DneproGES 2". 1969–1980 "DneproGES" was enlarged to increase the capacity and to build a roadway on the dam. Another control room was also built on the left bank. This part is called "Dnjeprostroj-3".

The power plant supplies 1,500 megawatts of electrical output for the industrial areas of Dnipro , Krywyj Rih and Zaporizhia. Over a length of more than 65 kilometers, the water level of the Dnieper rises through the dam from Zaporizhia to Dnieper.

The electricity generated by the power plant is partly carried over an overhead line crossing over the eastern arm of the Dnepr, which is laid on two prominent portal masts, the mast triple of Zaporizhia .

The Kachowka reservoir begins not far from Zaporizhia ; Because of its enormous size, it is also known as the “sea” by the population. It took two years to fill the 240 km long basin, which made it possible to grow wine, fruit and even rice in the region. 70 km downstream in Enerhodar is the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant , which is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe with six reactor blocks in operation.

media

watch TV

In Zaporizhia there are the following local TV channels: "Zaporizhia", TRC "Alex" (contains two channels - "Alex" and "ATV"), ZNTRK "TV-5" (contains two channels - the "TV-5" and "TV." -5 Sport "), MTM and" TV Gold ". According to the number of TV ratings , the channel “1 + 1” is ahead of the channel “Inter”. The television channel “5”, which is responsible for news in Ukraine, operates on the property of the radio station “The Great Meadow”. The base is only used for messages within Zaporizhia.

radio

More than a dozen FM radio stations broadcast in Zaporizhia . These include: "Nostalgia", "The Great Meadow", "Zaporizhzhya" etc.

Newspapers

In 2005, more than 185 different newspapers were published in the Zaporizhia region, with a circulation of 1.5 million copies. The regional center produces more than 20 different newspapers and magazines. These include: "The industrial Zaporozhye", "Moment", "Mrija", "tasche", "Priwos", "Saturday plus", "blue" etc.

Healthcare

Clinic of the Zaporizhia Medical University

In 2011, the network of hospitals in Zaporizhia consisted of 33 municipal and state health facilities that had a primary and secondary health facility. Of these facilities, 17 were hospitals , including nine general hospitals, two children's clinics, five maternity clinics and a hospital that called itself an ambulance service and ambulance service. The real difference between a hospital and a general hospital is not that great. "Normal Hospitals" specialize more for one or more diseases, general more concerned with the general medicine . Compare here e.g. B. the General Hospital of the City of Linz .

On January 1, 2011, a total of 4240 hospital beds were counted in the city. The rate of hospital beds is therefore 54.3 per 10,000 inhabitants.

One of the city's main problems is the shortage of medical specialists, especially among general practitioners, paediatricians, radiologists, laboratory assistants, etc. Together they make up 50–60% of all medical care. It also requires the improvement of material and technical facilities, especially in emergency care and in the outpatient area.

Health expenditure in 2010 was 406.5 million hryvnia . However, the expenses were not sufficient for full medical care.

graveyards

In Zaporizhia, the company "Ritual" is responsible for the care and maintenance of the cemeteries. However, the only cemetery that is still in operation is the Kushugumskoye Cemetery.

The construction of a crematorium is currently being discussed.

traffic

Zaporizhia has a modern transport network of intercity- like trains, general railways , aviation , inland waterway transport , the road network and local public transport .

Rail transport

The main train station (Zaporizhia-1)

Zaporizhia forms the intersection of the railway lines Moscow - Kharkiv - Zaporizhia and Simferopol - Krywyj Rih . The city's main train station is called Zaporizhzhya-1 (Запоріжжя-1). There is also another, less important, Zaporizhia-2 train station. The city is connected to Kiev several times a day . Other cities such as Moscow, Dnipro, Melitopol or Lemberg are also served from here. The regional railway company in the region is the Prydniprowska Salisnyzja .

Construction of a Dnepr bridge in Zaporizhia

Zaporizhia is also known for its children's railway, which was the second largest in the former Soviet Union with a length of 9.4 km .

Road traffic

Saporischschja is connected to the highways M 18 , N 08 and N 23 and the territorial road T-08-06 connected to the Ukrainian road network.

Road traffic connections across the Dnepr are a major problem in the city. There are often obstructions here. The intensity of traffic through bridges or river links exceeds their capacity by 3.7 times. In 2004, the construction of new bridges began, which should run parallel to the old bridges in order to avoid traffic jams and to be able to provide the necessary capacity.

The entire city area as well as various national and international destinations can be reached from the bus station .

air traffic

Zaporozhye is connected to the air network with the international airport of Zaporozhye . In 2015 it counted around 128,000 passengers. Flights to Moscow, Kiev or Istanbul are offered. Vienna will follow with the 2020 summer flight schedule.

Shipping

port

Over a length of more than 65 kilometers, the water level of the Dnieper rises through the dam from Zaporizhia to Dnieper. Only when the rapids of the river began to flood and the locks - a three-chamber lock (each 120 m long) and a new single-chamber lock (290 m long, lifting height 36 m) - was the river from Dnieper to the Black Sea , even for Ocean-going ships made navigable.

The port of Zaporizhia is a transshipment point for goods from the entire Donets Basin .

Transportation

Trolleybus in Zaporizhia

Local public transport in the city is regulated by the Zaporizhia tram , trolleybuses , public and private buses and taxis .

Overall, the tram network, which is becoming less and less important, is represented with around ten routes and the trolleybus network with around eight routes and 331.3 km. The bus network varies on average from 10.0 to 30.0 km. Some even to 55.0 km

Education and Research

At the end of 2009 there were 144 kindergartens in Zaporizhia, which were attended by a total of 22,900 children. The number of existing places was only 17,900 places.

In 2008, 64,000 students in the city were studying at various levels of public schools. There were a total of 274 educational institutions. 120 educational institutions alone fell on the second secondary level. These include: 16 high schools , 10 secondary schools , two colleges and a further 30 secondary education establishment 2. Although Zaporozhye is one of the regions where Russian is spoken most, is spoken only Ukrainian in schools in the normal case in Ukraine. However, since there are also children who are only raised in Russian, there are also schools in Zaporizhia that speak Russian. A total of 52% of the students spoke Ukrainian at school, the rest Russian.
