Schebekino ( Russian Шебекино ) is a city in Belgorod Oblast ( Russia ) with 44,279 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The city is located about 30 km southeast of the Oblast capital Belgorod on the Neschegol River not far from its confluence with the Seversky Donets , a right tributary of the Don , only about six kilometers from the border with Ukraine .

Schebekino is administratively directly subordinate to the Oblast and at the same time the administrative center of the Rajon of the same name .

history

Not far from today's city, the Neschegolsk fortress was built in 1654 along the Belgorod defense line on what was then the southern border of the Russian Empire. The place itself was founded as Sloboda Schibekina in 1713, named after the local administrative officer and landowner Lieutenant Colonel Iwan Schibeko, who initiated the settlement of the place. Later, the spelling Shebeqina was also found.

In the 19th century, the village belonged to Lieutenant General Alexei Rehbinder (1838–1909), who came from an originally Westphalian , later German-Baltic noble family. Under him, the development of the place took off with the establishment of a sugar factory in 1839.

In 1928, Schebekino became the administrative center of a Rajon, and in 1938 the town received its town charter under its current name.

During the Second World War , Schebekino was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on June 14, 1942 and recaptured on February 9, 1943 by troops of the Voronezh Front of the Red Army while advancing on Kharkov .

By 1970 several surrounding villages were incorporated ( Ustinka , Titovka River , Logowoje ) so that the population greatly increased.
