history

The first written mention of the city comes from the year 1352. The place received the Magdeburg law in 1603 .

In 1772 the village came under Austrian rule (in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria). At the end of the 18th century Wynnyky became a center of tobacco production , this branch of industry has remained the main source of income to this day. In 1779 the Lviv tobacco factory (today Львівська тютюнова фабрика) was founded in the village, which employed between 500 and 1000 people in the 19th century . In the 1980s, the plant produced around 14 billion cigarettes a year .

In 1785 there was an influx of German colonists. They founded their own settlement northeast of the old town, based on the Slavic name of vineyards . It remained independent until the resettlement of the German residents in 1940 and was then incorporated.

From 1854 to 1867 it was the seat of the Winniki district administration and then from 1867 to 1918 the seat of a district court for the Lviv district .

In 1908, the place was connected to the railway network through the construction of a station on the local line Lemberg – Podhajce , but the line was shut down again after the Second World War.

In 1973 a Tupolev Tu-124 crashed here on the domestic scheduled flight Aeroflot flight 5398 .
