Persenkoivka - the area of Sykhovsky district of Lviv ( Ukraine ) around the Persenkovka railway station between Panas Mirny, Buiko, Kozelnitskaya and Lviv Bus Plant streets. Main streets: Persenkovka, Kozelnitskaya, Buyko.
Until the XVII century, the area was called Kosnerivka after the name of the Lviv tradesman Kosner, who owned the local lands. The name Persenkovka is like the last name of the Lviv merchant Yakub Persing, who acquired this site in 1687 .
History
The most important enterprise of Persenkovka was the second and main Lviv city power station, built in 1908 according to the project of architect Anton Piller, which operates to this day.
It used to be a suburban settlement, of which today about 15 low-rise residential buildings remain. The actual disappearance of the settlement occurred as a result of the laying of a railway here with the subsequent formation of an industrial zone. In 1887, a church and a monastery of barefoot Carmelites were built here, which is currently located on the territory of the bus factory.
During the Ukrainian-Polish war in December 1918, a three-day fierce battle took place on Persenkovka. Subsequently, the Poles put in front of the railway station a magnificent monument of white marble to their soldiers, which was destroyed around 1940 after Galicia became part of Ukraine [1] .
Industrial Zone
The entire southern industrial sector of Lviv gravitates to the Persenkovka and Sknilov railway stations. It is based on the enterprises of the electrical and energy industries (Iskra plant, the insulator plant, the household appliance plant), as well as the Lviv Bus Plant . A group of brick factories and a plant for building materials are also concentrated here [2] .
Between the power station and st. Panas Mirny used to be a park with an area of about 8 hectares, currently partially built up with garages .
