New World (Lviv)

For the first time, the name Neue Welt appeared on the plans of the city in the first half of the 19th century . The name “New World” was first assigned for several decades to the road that connected the Sokolnitskaya road (Vuletskaya road, the road to Navaria ) from the church of St. Lazarus with the Gorodetskaya road ; along the Novyi Svet street the border between the Galician and Krakow suburbs of Lviv.

Gradually, the name New World spread to the whole outskirts between the Gorodotsk and Sokolnitsky roads. From the south, this area was limited by the Lviv - Chernivtsi railway laid in 1864-1866. In the 1930s, the New World, together with Kulparkov , became part of the VI section of Lviv ( Polish Dzielnica VI Nowy Świat ). The administrative suburbs of the New World also included the suburbs of Sikstovka, Bayka, Kastelovka, Frantsevka, part of the Panenskaya Bulka and the outskirts of the Pelchinsky pond, which was already launched in the 1920s.

On the plans of Lviv in 1841 and 1844, the toponym Neue Welt was already indicated, and roads laid among the fields were visible along which the streets now bearing the names of Bandera, Kievskaya, General Chuprinka (from Kievskaya to Rebel), Melnik, Efremov (from ul. Kiev to the west), Antonovich (from Bandera St. to Melnik), Fedkovich, Glubokaya, Morshinskaya, parts of Turgenev and Konovalets streets.

In 1870, the city ​​council of Lviv streamlined the names of the streets of the New World and introduced sequential numbering of houses and plots, although the old system of consecutive numbers was preserved in parallel until the beginning of the 20th century.

In the 1860s, the New World began to integrate intensively into the city structure, the impulse given by the construction of stations, first the railway station Karl Ludwig ( 1861 ) and later Chernivtsi ( 1866 ), as well as the main building of the Technical Academy (now the main building of the University of Lviv Polytechnic ") In 1877 on Novyi Svet (now - Bandera St. ). At the same time, in the outskirts of this street began to be built three-story cottages in the eclectic style with a typical facade decoration, made according to Austrian catalogs.

In the late 1880s, on the initiative of architects Ivan Levinsky and Julian Zakharevich , the development of the site began with villas in the Kastelovka district. In 1894, the first electric tram line was laid along Leon Sapega Street (the new name is Novy Svet Street) and Copernicus, and a tram depot and power station were built on the edge of the district. In the same years, the city school of Mary Magdalene (now the Polish high school), gymnasium No. 4 and the Barefoot Carmelite Monastery on ul. Kshizhova (Chuprinka). The building materials factory of Ivan Levinsky and the gypsum enterprise of the Franz brothers had a greater influence on building activity. The site near the gypsum factory was called Frantsevka. In 1906 , a new electric tram line from ul. Leon Sapieha (Bandera) through the current street. General Chuprinka, Miller, Konovalets. Here, on the then outskirts of Lviv, the building of the Ukrainian Pedagogical Society, a monument of Ukrainian secession architecture, were built, Roman Catholic churches of St. Josaphat and St. Clement appeared.

In 1920-1930, a new area of ​​private villas appeared north of the Chernivtsi Railway line. In 1910 , the famous artist Ivan Trush (where he lived until 1941) built a house with a workshop here. Lviv architects also built their villas. The plot was built up with two-story and three-story houses in the style of functionalism . These are buildings of regular geometric shape with rectangular windows without architectural decorations. On the outskirts of Lviv they were built among green spaces, which corresponded to the then fashionable concept of a garden city.

During the period of German occupation, the area was intended to be inhabited by the Aryan population (although there was a concentration camp for Soviet prisoners of war in the area of ​​the current Kvitnevaya street). Administratively, it was part of the Hochschule district (the name comes from the fact that the Lviv Polytechnic is located in the district).

In Soviet times, the New World was part of the Zaliznychny (Zheleznodorozhny district), from 1973 - the Radyansky (Sovetsky) district, which in the 1990s was renamed the Frankivsky district . In the Soviet period, large industrial enterprises appeared in the New World - an electric lamp plant (later Kineskop software), a telegraph equipment factory, which ceased to exist in the late 1990s, and now there are shopping and office centers on their territory. Large complexes of educational buildings and dormitories were built in the area of Lviv Polytechnic and College of Radio Electronics. The Lviv Forestry Engineering Institute was organized here, its educational buildings and dormitories were built, and the institute's botanical garden was arranged. In the district in 1970, the Tourist Hotel was built, the sports infrastructure was later expanded: the Lvovelectrotrans stadiums and the Lviv Forestry Institute, the Spartak sports complex (now Ukraine), tennis courts, and the Medic sports complex with outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts. In 1950-1960, small housing estates and separate houses were built in the New World. Since the New World remains a prestigious area, the development of the remaining small free plots continues. In the 1990s, a new women's monastery appeared - St. Vincent ’s Monastery, and the Holy Trinity Church of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Gethsemane Church of Evangelical Christian Baptists were set up on the former Kineskop factory premises. From the end of the 1940s to the 2001 census, in the New World region, the percentage of Russian-speaking population is noticeably higher than in other areas of Lviv ^[1] .

In 1990, the name Novyi Svet was given to one of the small streets connecting Chuprynky and Efremov streets (from 1898 - Kshizhova (Krestovaya) lateral, from 1901 - New, during the German occupation of Mackensengasse, in the Soviet period from 1946 to 1990 Democratic) .
