Wasrashdane (Burgas)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wasrashdane (also written Vazrazhdane , Bulgarian Възраждане ) is a district of the Bulgarian port city of Burgas . The district belongs to the inner city and is bordered by the boulevards Maria Luisa , Christo Botew , San Stefano and Iwan Wassow . Wasrashdane borders the city ​​center in the northeast and the port of Burgas in the east . In the south and southwest, Wasrashdane borders on the railway line from Burgas inland and in the west the district borders on the industrial area north (Industriana zona Sewer, German industrial zone north).

The district of Wasrashdane is one of the oldest in the city and arose after the city was "liberated" from Ottoman rule (so-called Wilhelminian style) along Ferdinandowa Street to the city's freshwater springs. The quarter is named after the period of national unification of the Bulgarian people during the 500 years of Ottoman rule: Bulgarian Възраждане / Wasraschdane, German Bulgarian rebirth . Since even after the "liberation" large parts of the Bulgarian population remained in the Ottoman Empire after the resolutions of the Berlin Congress, many fled to Bulgaria. In Wasrashdane, west of the courthouse, mainly refugees (see Thracian Bulgarians ) from southern Thrace (today in Greece and Turkey) settled. For these reasons, many streets and institutions in the district bear names of people or events from that era.

The headquarters of the BMARK for Eastern Thrace was located in the Minkow restaurant at 63 Ferdinandova Street . There, between February 19 and 21, 1897, during the first congress of the Thracian refugee organizations, they formed the Bund of Thracian Associations Strandscha . In 1900 the leading ideologue of the BMARK Goze Deltschew set up an illegal bomb factory in the backyard of the restaurant, in which the explosives for the attacks in Thessaloniki (1903) were also manufactured.

Some of the city's sights and cultural centers are located in the district, such as the Roman Catholic Churches of Mary of God , the Old Courthouse, the Opera House, the Playhouse, the Youth Culture Center, the Officer's Club, the Borisgarten Park and the city's old market halls. Also in the district are the primary schools Knjaz Boris I. , Lyuben Karawelow , the technical center for electrical engineering Konstantin Fotinow and the grammar school Ivan Wassow . In the square between the streets Zar Petar , Ferdinandowa and William Gladstone , many buildings from the Wilhelminian era have been preserved.
