Statistical information

Welykodolynske

Welykodolynske (Ukrainian Великодолинське ; Russian Великодолинское / Velikodolinskoje , German formerly Großliebental ) is an urban-type settlement in the Odessa Oblast in Ukraine on the Akkarshanka River. The place was founded by German emigrants around 1803 in what was then New Russia and existed as the center of the Großliebental colony until 1944. After 1918, the place was also called Bolshaya Akkarscha (Большая Аккаржа), and the settlement with its current name has existed since 1957 . In 2017 the place had 13,677 inhabitants.

After the Second World War , mostly Russians were settled.

history

Draft of the Großliebental colony (center)

The then governor of Odessas Richelieu bought land from the local aristocrats in order to settle German emigrants in place of the abandoned farming villages of Akarscha and Jewstafiewka on both banks of the Groß-Akerscha river.

Difficult early years followed, as there were only a small number of farmers among the immigrants. Employees and workers had to acquire the necessary knowledge over years of deprivation in order to ensure their survival.

Later the place developed into a popular destination for the neighboring Odessa, which was mainly known for its mud baths in the Liman . From 1906 a tram connected Großliebental with the neighboring Lustdorf (today Tschornomorka / Чорноморка as a district of Odessa).

In the years after the Russian Revolution , the colony was increasingly expropriated, with churches being expropriated and repurposed. Today they serve partly as youth clubs or cultural institutions. The Großliebental Church itself was converted into a Russian Orthodox Church.

Großliebental's population consisted mostly of Protestants until the end.
