About the place
The building of Oleksandrivsk women's gymnasium
The building of the women's gymnasium was constructed in the Neo-Renaissance style between 1902-1903. The Minayev brothers, owners of brick and tile factories, acted as contractors for the construction, and Faday Pekutovsky, the city's chief architect, was responsible for the construction and is the most likely author of the project. The building of the women's gymnasium has practically remained in its original form, except for the roof above the central entrance.
To enter the gymnasium, it was necessary to pass exams, but not everyone passed the selection, for example, in 1904 out of 125 applicants, only 48 became students.
The women's gymnasium existed for only 17 years. Since 1920, the headquarters of the 30th Rifle Division, which came from the Urals to the Southern Front to fight against Wrangel, was located in the building. In May 1921, the 1058th hospital was located here, and during this time, the entire gymnasium garden was cut down.
In 1926, the building was handed over to the Zaporizhzhia Pedagogical Technical School. Later, it housed Secondary School No. 65, and since 1987 and until now, the Biology Faculty of Zaporizhzhia National University is located here. During World War II, the headquarters of the German Army Group South, commanded by Erich von Manstein, was located here. He recalled that Adolf Hitler himself visited here in 1943.
