Kolomyia where. Origin of the name g
Kolomyia - This is a small provincial Ukrainian city with a rich, interesting and ancient history. Tourists are brought here by the desire to see its wonderful architecture, which incorporates different styles from modern to secession, to relax calmly away from the hustle and bustle of large cities, to get acquainted with folk art, thanks to which Kolomyia has been considered the main cultural center of Pokuttya for centuries.
Since ancient times, the Ivano-Frankivsk region has become famous as the center of the cultural heritage of the peoples inhabiting it - the Hutsuls, Moldavians, Poles and others, but it is represented here especially vividly - in this small town with a population of about 70 thousand people there are several museums, and the number of architectural treasures reaches several dozens.
Kolomyia is located in the southeastern part of the Ivano-Frankivsk region in a beautiful valley on the left bank of the Prut River. This city has a very eventful history dating back centuries. It is believed that the Ants, who founded the settlement here in the IV-V centuries of our era, were the first to settle in the current territory of the city, however, Kolomyia officially exists since 1241, when it was first mentioned in the Galicia-Volyn annals.
The settlement played the role of one of the four guards of the southwestern border of the ancient Russian Galician state - it was guarded by fortresses erected here, as well as in Oleshkov, Chernivtsi and Snyatin. But Kolomyia, which stood on an important trade route - the Berlada road, was destined to become not only a warrior city, but also the most important cultural and commercial center of Pokuttya. The military events of those times made their adjustments to the development of the city - the Turks and the Mongol-Tatar hordes repeatedly burned and plundered it, but each time, like a Phoenix, it was reborn from the ashes. And now he stands on the bank of the Prut, quiet, calm and beautiful - it seems that he finally waited for those calm times that he always dreamed of. Numerous tragic events, the transition from one state to another - all this is left in the past.
The difficult fate of Kolomyia was reflected in its architecture. The ancient fortress with which the city began, unfortunately, was lost approximately in the middle of the XIII century during the invasion of the Tatar-Mongols, but many other interesting buildings survived to our time, together forming the Austro-Hungarian character of its development. Basically, the architectural sights of Kolomyia are structures of the XIX-XX centuries, but there are also “old-timers” among them, who have been reading for several centuries. First of all, this is the Blagoveshchensk (Spasskaya) church (“Monastery”), built in 1587 in the Hutsul style entirely of wood, in which, according to legend, Bogdan Khmelnitsky himself once prayed, one of the most ancient wooden churches of the Carpathians. Among the other ancient buildings of Kolomyia, one can note the Greek Catholic Church of the Virgin Mary of the middle of the 18th century, the church of St. Josaphat at the end of the 18th century. There are many other architectural treasures in the city, but they date back to the 19th - early 20th centuries - this is the gymnasium building, St. Michael’s Cathedral, the People’s House and the Town Hall, and many other buildings that form the beautiful architectural face of the city. Small cobbled streets, one- and two-story houses in the Art Nouveau, Secession, Baroque style, fancifully trimmed trees - Kolomyia seems fabulous, representing one of those quiet provincial European towns where you just want to relax from the rest of the world.
The Kolomyia museums also attract tourists - this is the Museum of Folk Art of the Hutsul and Pokuttya, which contains the largest exhibition of folk art in the region, the Museum of the History of the City. Especially famous
The city of Kolomyia, located in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine, has been known since 1241. The first centuries in the life of the city were turbulent. It was sold, given to the right people, completely destroyed ... In 1772, during the first partition of Poland, Kolomyia moved to Austria-Hungary. After World War I, it was again part of Poland, then, after World War II, it became one of the cities of the USSR. Kolomyia is located at the intersection of trade routes. These are not empty words, because then the Carpathians are already beginning, and you can’t pave the road anywhere. If you go to Kolomyia from Chernivtsi (there is such a train), then do not pass the Zabolotov station located next to it. Where did this name come from? The fact is that between Kolomyia and Zabolotov there was once a marshland (which is hard to say now). Shopping carts drove through the swamps and stopped to clean their ammunition. So this place became Zabolotov. I noticed that prosperity and grooming in the rural areas of this region increases as we approach the Carpathians, so the likelihood that you can see something interesting was very high.
In the village, the main street starts right from the station. The appearance of the first houses indicated that they were once beautiful and attractive. But now it's in the past. Although the buildings, after all, like people. They may also have a second youth and a third ... 
Library. I think that the Internet has been carried out in the village. But the book has its own, special, charm ...
A chapel at one of the houses. The entrance is outside. Apparently, to be enjoyed by everyone.
The ability (and desire) of local residents to make a beautiful metal roof is striking. On everything.
Near the well is a monument to members of the UPA.
Near the Soviet military burial. Everything is in order, even the helmets are painted.
Political balance in Zabolotov is achieved by another monument to the fighters for freedom of Ukraine. During the Nazi occupation, with their help, the entire Jewish population was destroyed in Zabolotov.
Museum of the liberation struggle. In Soviet times, it was a museum of Komsomol and military glory. Recently, the museum was robbed. Antique dishes were carried away.
Church of St. Michael.
The population of the village is less than 5 thousand people. Public transport is not visible. The inhabitants move in accordance with their capabilities. Cars, bicycles ... There are more exclusive vehicles.
In the center are various institutions and the market. The male seller, from whom I bought a couple of apples, showed a good knowledge of the history of his small homeland. This has occurred in Western Ukraine more than once. The percentage of residents who value and respect their past in this region is quite high. As for architecture and spirituality, all the best in Zabolotov is collected here.
The woman most likely depicts Ukraine. It is worth agreeing that it seems. Despite the fact that the new time has brought discord into the economies of the countries of the former USSR, Ukrainian agriculture is alive.
In my opinion, there is also a funeral home in the center.
Behind the village, the Prut River flows.
Behind her are the villages. But outwardly they are practically no different from Zabolotov. One of the houses.
And an interesting gate. Similar things always decorate the street.
Not far from the road you can see a stork.
Let's go back. In Zabolotov, the Austrians built a tobacco factory. Representatives of the management and engineers lived in these large buildings.
The factory also worked successfully in Soviet times. But now, after gaining a new owner, production has ceased. A vast territory is overgrown with grass and shrubs, turning into a jungle.
Church at the local cemetery.
Two private houses located nearby.
In Zabolotov, several mansions under construction were noticed. But they look somehow strange. Near not a soul.
The train to Kolomyia does not last long. Something flickers outside the window, but the state of the window pane makes attempts to take pictures pointless. The first interesting object in the city is a new chapel.
And another chapel, close to it, the inscription on which says that it was consecrated in honor of the Holy Archangel Michael.
A small new area suggested that it was the outskirts of the city.
The puddles on the road remind you of yesterday's rainfall and provide new buildings with the opportunity to once again admire their beauty and neatness.

The first memories of Kolomyia date back to 1241. In the Galicia-Volyn Territory, it is a center for salt production and trade. Already in those days, German Jewish merchants took an active part in trade operations with salt. And at the end of the XV century. on the outskirts of the city Jews from Lviv begin to settle compactly. They actively participated in trade and economic life, for which in 1569 they were given royal privileges, approved by the Crown Diet in Lublin. This fact speaks of the loyal attitude of the authorities towards the Jews: after a census in 1616, the royal commission ordered the Kolomian elder Pyotr Korytsinsky to allocate a place for a Jewish cemetery and build a synagogue, with the exemption of these sites from taxes.
After the destruction of the city in 1621, as a result of the raid of the Tatar horde, Jews actively participated in its restoration. The community’s funds partially rebuilt the defensive ramparts of Castle Hill, for which the city authorities obtained a letter in 1626 stating that Jews of the city should be kept their rights and obligations, as well as permission to settle at the market square.
In 1664, at the expense of the Jewish community, the Great Stone Synagogue was built; Jews began to build up a market square with stone houses. The chief rabbi of the city was Avroom Wolf.
In the first half of the XVIII century. Pokutia embraces a new religious-mystical movement - Hasidism. In 1734, the founder of Hasidism, Baal Shem Tov, visited the Kolomyia synagogue, talked with the chief rabbi of the city and blessed this land.
From the second half of the 18th century, during the reign of the Austrian Empire, the Jews of the city were deprived of royal privileges. In 1778, the community opened a header, which became the first stationary educational institution in the entire region. In 1787, a yeshiva was opened at the Great Synagogue.
In 1798, after restoration, the Great Synagogue was reopened. The rabbi of the city at that time was Hoax Ephraim Fishl bin Moyshe.
The opening in 1865 of a railway link between Lviv and Chernivtsi with a central station in Kolomyia stimulated the rapid development of the city's economy: handicraft handicraft workshops were transformed into industrial enterprises, almost all of which were headed by Jews.
In 1870, the Jonasz Sagera weaving factory, one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of tales, began to operate: they were exported to Hungary, Germany, France, England, Romania and even America.
In 1880, Heger Kalman’s factory for the production of brushes gave the first products - they were delivered to Western Europe. The factory “Geller Samson and Sons” produced woolen costume fabrics, plaids, and also finished tales, in 1889 up to 150 workers worked on it.
The most powerful factories in the region were the Ramler and Sons-in-Law brick and ceramic factories. Jakub Brettler breweries became large enterprises in the food industry: in 1913 they produced 32,600 gallons of beer, while their competitor Stefan Weyes produced 30,000 gallons.
Mills of Jakub Baiduff, Jakub Brettler, Moises Gartenberg, Marek Schillach annually threshed 60,000 quintals of flour, which went to Germany.
In 1879, oil mines near the village of Sloboda give the first oil. The Jews Geller, Berko participate in their development, and in 1885, in the suburb of Kolomyia, Sopov, the oil refinery of the Wenzel family started working.
Mid-19th - early 20th centuries can be considered the peak of the economic prosperity and political upsurge of the community. The main incentive for such activity was the new constitution of the Austrian Empire adopted in 1868, which equalized the Jews in their rights.
According to the census, in 1869, 15,000 citizens lived in Kolomyia, of which 9,019 were Jews.
Since 1876, a specially created Israeli gmina was engaged in the administrative and legal relations of the community. Its board included famous people: Solomon Wiselberg, David Kries. And Joseph Funkenshtayn - the chairman of the commune - also included in the leadership of the magistrate and the Povitova Rada, and even was repeatedly elected burgomaster.
At the community’s expense in 1854, a hospital with 20 beds was opened, and in 1898, the Israeli gmina opened a shelter for the elderly and disabled.
In 1872, there were 16 synagogues and 35 houses of worship in the city. The spiritual mentors of the Jews in the 19th century were the rabbis Nachman Zev, Yitzhok Seb, Yitzhok Traubes, Gershon ben Yehuda, Jacob-Efraim Temin.
In 1896, a second header was opened, as well as a Jewish kindergarten. Two years later, the Vienna Alliance opened a Jewish school, later patronized by the Baron Hirsch Foundation. In 1902, the first Jewish students entered the Ukrainian gymnasium, and since 1906 Jewish girls studied in the female gymnasium.
At the end of 1890, a Jewish drama theater operated in Kolomyia, and the performance "Brendeles - Cossack from Kolomyia" was staged on its stage.
The system of political parties in Eastern Galicia included party organizations led by Jews of Pokuttya. They launched vigorous activity in the region, fighting for seats in the Reichstag - the Austro-Hungarian Parliament and local authorities, as well as protesting anti-Semitism. The Zionist party "Mizrahi" in 1880 opened a branch in Kolomyia; Israel Fandenhrecht was elected its chairman. Zionists began to publish the regional newspaper Israel. In 1914, the Zionist L. Traubes began to publish the Volks Zeitung annals.
At the first World Zionist Congress in Basel in 1897, Kolomyia was represented by Solomon Singer and Rosenheht, while there was only one delegate from Lviv. The Orthodox party Agudas Yisroel and the Zionist Poalei Zion also launched activities in Kolomyia.
In 1876, the representative of the Israeli commune, Dr. M. Trachtenberg, was elected burgomaster in municipal elections, and later, in 1895-1900, he was a deputy of the Reichstag. Representatives of the Kolomian Jewish community O. Genigzman, I. Bloch - editor of the Austrian Weekly, N. Seinfled, were elected to this supreme legislative body of the state. In the Galician Sejm, deputies from Kolomyia met L. Duba, M. Landsberger, and the same O. Genigzman.
Publishing enterprises of Kolomyia, led by Jews Wilhelm Brauner and Jakub Orenstein, played a positive role in the development of Ukrainian national culture. From 1903 to 1939, their printing houses were published by the Ukrainian weekly journal Postup, the annals for the people Khlopska Pravda, the Ukrainian-Russian teacher body Prapor, the political economy chronicle Right to the People, the rural weekly Plow, and the journal Zerkalo, a young literature. . They also published books by the classics T. Shevchenko, I. Franco, I. Nechuy-Levitsky, Marco Vovchok, P. Kulish, L. Tolstoy, L. Andreev, A. France, Bernard Shaw ...
At the turn of the century, in 1900, 34,188 people lived in Kolomyia, and 16,868 of them - a little less than half - were Jews. In 1906, on the way to Geneva, the city was visited by Sholom Aleichem and described the life of the Jews there in the story “Vraki”.
In World War I from 1915 to 1917, the city was occupied by Russia. The Jewish population was brought to poverty, many died in pogroms, and synagogues were desecrated and plundered. The revolutionary events of 1917 forced the Russian troops to retreat.
On November 1, 1918, the Austrian administration transferred power to the Ukrainians and proclaimed the West Ukrainian Republic in Lviv. On behalf of the community, Chairman of the Kolomyia Kagal E. Rotenstreich announced cooperation with the new authorities. To coordinate the local authorities, district councils were created, they included representatives of the Jewish, Polish and German populations.
To protect the population from looting and robbery, Jewish police were formed in the system of the Kolomyia district military command. A brigade of Sich Riflemen under the command of the Austrian Colonel F. Tinkel was sent to Lvov to fight with Polish troops, and the Jewish community equipped them with ammunition, food, wagons, horses, fodder, and also fuels and lubricants.
In May 1919, Romanian troops occupied Kolomyia, but in August Galicia again withdrew under the protectorate of Poland. The Jewish community, coordinated by its commissioner Dr. Leon Funkenshtayn, his deputy Avroom-Shmuel Geller and the assistant rabbi Osinas Sibler, continued to coordinate Jewish life and relations with the authorities.
The leadership of the community tried to involve a variety of commercial structures and entrepreneurs to help the poor Jews. In the city there were partnerships of Jewish merchants, doctors, lawyers and scientists.
In 1930, on the recommendations of the kagal and the Agudas Isroel party, the last rabbi of the city, Yosef Lau, who died during the fascist occupation in 1942, was elected.
In September 1939, under an agreement between the USSR and Germany, the Red Army occupied Western Ukraine and its lands were annexed to the Ukrainian SSR. Then enterprises and a trading network were nationalized, synagogues and Jewish schools were closed. Those who are objectionable to the regime were exiled to Siberia.
Before the outbreak of World War II, the city's population was 45,000, of whom 19,350 were Jews, not counting Jewish refugees from Poland, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia.
July 3, 1941 the city was occupied by Hungarian troops. The Hungarian military commandant of Kolomyia did not allow Ukrainian nationalists to carry out the mass execution of Jews, but numerous anti-Jewish restrictions were introduced, including the obligatory wearing of a distinguishing mark, restriction of movement, confiscation of property, and sending Jews to heavy forced labor.
In early August 1941, the city came under the control of the German military administration. The situation of the Jews worsened. Jews were forced to pay the occupation authorities a contribution of money and valuables. A Judenrat was created under the leadership of M. Horowitz.
On October 12, 1941, German soldiers and Ukrainian police arrested about three thousand Jews who were imprisoned and shot several days later in a grove near the village of Shepanivtsi.
On November 6, the action was repeated. On December 23, as a result of the Gestapo provocation, about a thousand Jews who held foreign passports were gathered; they were shot at the site of previous executions.
In March 1942, three ghettos were created, in which about 18 thousand Jews of Kolomyia and neighboring settlements were imprisoned. About 5,000 Jews in April, and in September
about 7,000 were deported to the Belzec extermination camp. The head of the Judenrat M. Horowitz in the fall of 1942 committed suicide.
On January 20, 1943, the remaining 2,000 Jews were concentrated in several houses, and on February 2, 1943, they were shot.
The main attractions are located in the central part of the city.
We will begin our acquaintance with the city from here. This cafe & Praised Hut & with an original interior and Hutsul cuisine is located near the monument to T.G. Shevchenko.
Trading house "Kolomyanka" is one of the largest in the city. Due to its favorable location, it is always popular.
Chernovol Avenue is the main street of the city, although the prospect does not name the language. The development is mainly one- and two-story, but it is here that there are shops, cafes, offices and banks. The street is pedestrian, so festive events are mainly held here.
Old Kamenitsa on Chernovola Ave.
The newly built hotel & Pysanka & quot "at the Museum of Pysankanism has become an ornament of the central part of the city.
And this museum itself is the pride of the Kolomyans. The building was built in 2000 and is essentially a kind of exhibit. The height of this painted egg is 14 meters and its diameter is about 10 meters. The museum itself has three floors, and its exhibits are not only Easter eggs (there are about 6000!), But also rushnyks, as well as household items. The museum regularly hosts various exhibitions.
Parallel to Chornovil Avenue stretches the most beautiful, in my opinion, Teatralnaya street. This is the building of the People’s House. And nearby is the museum of the Hutsul region.
Kolomyia Museum of Folk Art of the Hutsul Region and Pokuttya named after I. Kobrinsky.
The labor exchange building is a symbol of prosperous capitalism. A huge part of the city’s population is employed in Russia and Europe, and this is sometimes the main source of income.
The building of secondary school №1. The institution itself is one of the oldest in the city. There are 10 schools and one gymnasium in Kolomyia
A little away from the center, on Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard, the city museum is located. Newlyweds often come here to take pictures in the halls against the background of ancient objects and interiors.
There is a drama theater in the city.
The former building of the Polish bank. Now high school number 9.
City Hall is an indispensable attribute of Polish cities of the XIX century. It was built for the magistrate. Although the height of the tower is not quite large, the building is the hallmark of the city.
On New Year's and Christmas holidays, the Town Hall building is illuminated.
I was lucky to visit the upper balcony of the Town Hall, which overlooks the city center. In this photo, the Shevchenko monument is clearly visible. At the back of the monument is a grocery store "Kolomyanka". Teatralnaya and Chernovola streets, respectively, to the left and right. Now you should have a clear idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the central part of the city looks like.
Department Store & Kolomyia & and Shevchenko Square.
Good view! There are four famous buildings of the city.
On the left is the exchange, then the church of St. Jehoshaphat, School No. 1, registry office on the right.
The city has many churches, temples and churches. Church of St. St. Michael (1855-1873) - the main Greek Catholic church of the city
In the city center, next to the school №1, is the church of St. Jehoshaphat
In Kolomyia it is also called a nursery (there is a Sunday church school for children).
Nikolaev-Assumption Cathedral-Orthodox Church MP.
There is a synagogue in Kolomyia for the Jewish community.
The Annunciation Church is the oldest, built in 1587, is located
on the street Carpathian, near the bus station. Nearby is an old cemetery with many interesting tombstones.

Very interesting. Thanks. It’s a pity that there aren’t any hutsul in the photos. (Just kidding)
Who will refuse to pass the time in this & town in a snuffbox & quot — quit a metropolis with a frantic rhythm of a calendar? There, people quietly and slowly, not only cross the road, but also live.
Respect to the author, these are the kind of lyrical emotions I had :) photo selection
Thank you, very interesting selection of photos.
I really loved the Hutsul Museum and in my childhood I visited it more than once during the summer holidays. I remember the hall of the drama theater from the age of 4. Then it wasn’t customary to celebrate weddings in restaurants and the theater hall served for this purpose. So I ran around this hall among the tables .As I remember now. I remember what the church on the former Chkalov street was turned into, if I’m not mistaken. It served as a warehouse for a furniture store. Its walls were in terrible condition. Now you can see how beautifully it is restored in the photographs. Yes, I agree, Tetralnaya street has always been the most beautiful street in Kolomyia. Beautiful d oh, beautiful cobblestones, even the bend of the street is also beautiful. I visited the Carpathians restaurant several times and even played bass on it for 3-4 months. I did a lot of shopping at the department store & Kolomyya. I still remember the smell of perfumery at the entrance to it. I remember and an old cemetery with a wooden church. I ran through this cemetery at 1 a.m. so as not to go around it and save time, as I understood that my parents were worried at home.In short, there is no square meter with which I would not have memories.
Thank you again for such detailed photos! I will be glad to see more!
I am very glad that my photographs returned you in the years of youth, to the city of your childhood. Thank you very much for the good feedback about my work!
I specifically registered on this site because of your photos! You returned me during the years of my school childhood - I studied at school number 9 from 1964 to 1969, I have not been in this city for more than 40 years! The photos are just great! Thank you very much for your interest in & small cities & they retain a special cosiness and charm of antiquity. And I remember all this! True, the monuments are not the same, the streets are not so named, and yet our school has not changed much ... I’ll lay the next route of my travels through my city! And all thanks to your photos! Thanks.
Svetlana Anatolyevna.

The town hall building with a square tower is located in the corner of the market square halfway to the rest of the houses and dominates the two-, three-story buildings in the central part of the city. Built on the site of a burnt wooden town hall. In 1880, I. Franko was imprisoned here. As in previous times, the premises are occupied by local authorities.

In a medieval city, it was part of a large market square, on which stood the town hall (initially in its place was a castle, then a Catholic church). Along the perimeter preserved buildings of the XIX-XX centuries. The oldest among them is house number 1, in which the Grand Hotel was located before the Second World War. In 1914, a bust of T.
