'''Daugavpils''' (see also [[#Names|other names]]) is a state [[city]] in southeastern [[Latvia]], located on the banks of the [[Daugava River]], from which the city derives its name.<ref name="DaugavpilsOfficial">{{cite web |title=History |url=https://www.daugavpils.lv/en/city/daugavpils/history |website=Daugavpils.lv |access-date=29 March 2022 |language=en}}</ref> The parts of the city to the north of the river belong to the [[Historical Latvian Lands|historical Latvian region]] of [[Latgale]], and those to the south lie in [[Selonia]]. It is the second-largest city in the country after the capital [[Riga]], which is located some {{convert|230|km|0|abbr=off}} northwest and is the [[List of cities in the Baltic states by population|ninth most populous city]] in the [[Baltic states]].<ref name="DaugavpilsOfficial" />

Daugavpils is located relatively close to [[Belarus]] and [[Lithuania]] (distances of {{convert|33|km|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|25|km|0|abbr=on}}, respectively), and some {{convert|120|km|0|abbr=on}} from the Latvian border with [[Russia]]. Daugavpils is a major [[junction (rail)|railway junction]] and industrial centre, and was an historically important garrison city lying approximately midway between [[Riga]] and [[Minsk]], and between [[Warsaw]] and [[Saint Petersburg]].

Daugavpils, then called Dyneburg, was the capital of [[Inflanty Voivodeship|Polish Livonia]] while in [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]]. Following the [[first partition of Poland]] in 1772, the city became part of the [[Russian Empire]].<ref name="DaugavpilsOfficial" /> Since the Second World War, it has maintained an overwhelmingly [[Russian language|Russian]]-speaking population, with [[Latvians]] and [[Polish people|Poles]] being significant minorities. Historically, German and Yiddish were additional prominent native languages.

==History==
The town's history began in 1273 when the [[Livonian Order]], led by [[Ernst von Ratzeburg]], built the [[Dinaburga Castle|Dünaburg Castle]] on the site of a [[Lithuanians|Lithuanian]] settlement of ''Naujinis'' (about 18 km from present-day Daugavpils).<ref name="DaugavpilsOfficial" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/daugpilis/|title=Daugpilis|website=[[Visuotinė lietuvių enciklopedija|vle.lt]]}}</ref> Between 1281 and 1313, [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania|Lithuania]] ruled Daugavpils, the lands up to Daugava and its surroundings.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/latvijos-rysiai-ir-santykiai-su-lietuva/|title=Latvijos ryšiai ir santykiai su Lietuva|website=[[Visuotinė lietuvių enciklopedija]]|language=Lithuanian|access-date=2024-12-23|archive-date=2023-10-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231029151930/https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/latvijos-rysiai-ir-santykiai-su-lietuva/|url-status=live}}</ref> In 1561 it again became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and, subsequently, of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]] in 1569 (see [[Duchy of Livonia]]). In 1621 Daugavpils became the capital of the newly formed [[Inflanty Voivodeship]], which existed until the [[First Partition of Poland]] (1772). In 1577 the Russian tsar [[Ivan IV of Russia|Ivan the Terrible]] captured and destroyed Dünaburg castle.

[[File:Daugavpils COA 1582.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Coat of arms of Daugavpils (then "Dyneburg") in 1582]]
That same year, a new castle and a town were built {{convert|20|km|0|abbr=on}} downriver, by the Polish King and the Grand Duke of Lithuania [[Stephen Báthory]]. In 1582 Daugavpils was granted [[Magdeburg rights|Magdeburg town rights]]. In 1654, [[Russo-Polish War (1654–1667)|Russia invaded]] [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth|Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth]], seizing much of the eastern lands. Russian troops besieged Daugavpils in April and May 1655, but did not capture the city; it was only taken by [[Sweden|Swedish]] troops on July 11, 1655, who [[Deluge (history)|invaded Poland]] at that time.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=10}} When the [[Russo-Swedish War (1656–1658)|Russo-Swedish war]] started, the Russians [[Siege of Dyneburg|captured]] Daugavpils on 10 August 1656, renamed the town ''Borisoglebov'' and controlled the region for 11 years, between 1656 and 1667.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=11}} Russia returned the area of [[Latgale]] to Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth following the [[Treaty of Andrusovo]] (1667).{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=11}} Called Dyneburg, the city became the capital of the [[Inflanty Voivodeship]], also known as the [[Duchy of Livonia]], and the starostwo of Dyneburg.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=11}} It was a place of local [[sejmik]]'s gatherings.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=11}} [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Inflanty|Roman Catholic Bishop of Inflanty]], who was always residing outside of diocese, moved his seat to Dyneburg at the end of 17th century.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=15}} At the end of the 18th century, 540 people lived in the city itself, but counting the population of the suburbs the number was 1,373.{{Sfn|Dybaś|Jeziorski|2018|p=18}}

It became part of the Russian Empire after the [[First Partition of Poland]] in 1772. It was the [[uyezd]] administrative center as part of the [[Pskov Governorate]] (1772-1776), [[Polotsk Governorate|Polotsk]] (1776-1796), [[Belarusian Governorate|Belarusian]] (1796-1802), and finally [[Vitebsk Governorate|Vitebsk]] (1802-1917), first as '''Dinaburg''', then '''Dvinsk''' later during Russian rule.

From 1784 onwards, the city had a large and active Jewish population,<ref>

During the [[Lithuanian Independence Wars]], there were Lithuanian attempts to take Daugavpils (Dvinsk) due to a Lithuanian minority living there and the city’s importance as a rail and road junction. However, Lithuania never made a full-scale military campaign to annex the city or directly control it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lituanistika.lt/content/87363|title=The Lithuanian war of independence in 1918-1920: actions against the Bolsheviks in the area of Zarasai and Daugavpils|website=lituanistika.lt|date=21 March 2021}}</ref> The newly independent Latvian state renamed it ''Daugavpils'' in 1920. Latvians, Poles and Soviet troops fought the [[Battle of Daugavpils]] in the area from 1919 to 1920.

Daugavpils and the whole of Latvia was under [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] rule between 1940–41 and 1944–1991. Nazi [[Brandenburgers]] led the German attack against the town in 1941, speaking Russian and wearing Soviet uniforms, and Germany occupied it between 1941 and 1944. The Nazis established the [[Daugavpils Ghetto]] where the town's Jews were forced to live. Most were murdered. During the [[Cold War]] the [[Lociki]] air-base operated {{convert|12|km|0|abbr=on}} northeast of Daugavpils itself. In the late Soviet era, there was a proposal to [[Daugavpils hydroelectric power station|build a hydroelectric power station]] on the Daugava river that was successfully opposed by the nascent environmental movement in Latvia.

On 16 April 2010 an assassin shot vice-mayor [[Grigorijs Ņemcovs]] in the center of the city. He died almost immediately and the crime remains unsolved.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tvnet.lv/zinas/kriminalzinas/327287-nosauts_daugavpils_vicemers_grigorijs_nemcovs |title=Nošauts Daugavpils vicemērs Grigorijs Ņemcovs |publisher=tvnet.lv |language=lv |date=2010-04-16 |access-date=2010-04-30 |archive-date=2017-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170223045339/http://www.tvnet.lv/zinas/kriminalzinas/327287-nosauts_daugavpils_vicemers_grigorijs_nemcovs |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Jewish history===
Prior to 1941, Daugavpils, called Dvinsk by its Jewish inhabitants, was home to the most prominent Jewish community in eastern Latvia. The city was already a Jewish center as early as the 1780s and by the time of the 1897 census, they numbered 32,400 (44% of the overall population of the city).<ref>Zimmerman, Joshua D. (2004). Poles, Jews, and the politics of nationality. Univ of Wisconsin Press. p. 16. ISBN 0-299-19464-7.</ref> The Jews of the town were very prosperous and ran 32 factories and there were 4000 artisans among them. By 1911 they had increased to 50,000.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}} However, tens of thousands of Jews migrated away from Daugavpils; in the last census taken prior to the Second World War, in 1935, the Jewish population of Daugavpils numbered only 11,106 (24.6% of the overall population of the city).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stat.gov.lv/sites/default/files/publication/Vecas%20statistikas%20gramatas/1935%20Tautas%20skaitisana/1935_TSK-4dala.pdf|title=Latvian Population Census - 1935, Part 4, Nationalities}}</ref>

The city not only boasted a large Jewish population but a rich religious culture including 40 synagogues. The city was home to two of the most prominent rabbis of their time: [[Joseph Rosen]] (1858–1936), known as the Rogatchover Gaon (genius from [[Rahachow]]), was famed for his commentaries on the works of [[Maimonides]] and on the Talmud. Famed for his acidic wit and penetrating genius, he led the towns [[Hasidic Jews]]. His 'competitor', the leader of the local [[Misnagdim]] (non-Hasidic Jews) was the Rabbi [[Meir Simcha of Dvinsk]] (1843–1926). Rabbi Meir Simcha was also renowned for his work on Maimonides ([[Or Somayach]]) as well as Bible commentary Meshech Chochma. In one famous comment he predicted that since some Jews had assimilated and viewed [[Berlin]] as their '[[Jerusalem]]' they would suffer persecution originating in Berlin.

[[Sarah Azariahu]] was born here in 1873. She was a leading figure in establishing equal rights for women in [[Yishuv|pre-state Israel]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=סער |first=צפי |date=2012-03-07 |title=האשה שנלחמה על זכות הבחירה |url=https://www.haaretz.co.il/gallery/women-s-day/2012-03-07/ty-article/0000017f-e9c4-d62c-a1ff-fdff89c00000 |access-date=2024-03-14 |work=הארץ |language=he}}</ref>
Another famous Jewish resident, moving in a very different direction, was the [[abstract expressionist]] painter [[Mark Rothko]]. Born in Daugavpils in 1903 he immigrated at the age of 10 to the [[United States]] where he painted over 800 paintings in his unique style.

[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-B11441, Libau, Zusammengetriebene Juden.jpg|thumb|[[Daugavpils Ghetto]] in July 1941]]
Rothko and many of his fellow Jews would have taken the train from Daugavpils to [[Liepāja]], travelling westwards from [[Radviliškis]] on the [[Libau-Romny Railway]], and would have crossed the seas by one of the steamships departing for New York via a regular service established in 1906 by the [[Russian East Asiatic Steamship Company|Russian American Line]].

Jewish Daugavpils, a 16,000 strong community, already greatly diminished by emigration, came to an end following the Nazi German invasion on 26 June 1941. Falsely claiming that the Jews had conspired to set fire to the town and that they were assisting the Soviet army, the Germans and their Latvian collaborators carried out large executions on 28–29 June. During July the Jews were enslaved and forced to cut down timber. On 7–11 July Einsatzkommando 1b under [[Erich Ehrlinger]] executed many of the remaining Jews. Later in July the 14,000 remaining Jews were forced into a Ghetto along with those from nearby towns. By the end of August an additional 7000 Jews had died at the hands of the Nazis and the local Latvian collaborators. The largest execution took place in November 1941 and was followed by plagues that decimated the few survivors. Only about 1500 Jews remained in the city. These were murdered on 1 May 1942. When the town was liberated in 1944 only 100 survivors remained of a community of 16,000. For more on the Holocaust in Daugavpils see [[Daugavpils Ghetto]].

==Art, architecture, and culture==
[[File:Daugavpils modern architecture Saules street.jpg|thumb|An [[Art Nouveau]] building on 41 Saules street]]

Daugavpils is an important cultural centre in eastern Latvia. There are 22 primary and secondary schools, four vocational schools, and the Saules [[Art school|College of Art]]. More than 1,000 teachers and engineers graduate from the [[University of Daugavpils]] (formerly Daugavpils Pedagogical University) and the local branch of [[Riga Technical University]] annually.
There is also a Polish [[Gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]] (academic secondary school) on Varšavas iela (Warsaw Street).

===Historical centre===
The historical centre of Daugavpils city is an architectural heritage of national importance (the construction work was carried out in the 19th century according to the project endorsed in St Petersburg in 1826).
The historical centre is the greatest attraction of the city and one of the most successful examples of balancing the aspects of ancient and modern times. Daugavpils is one of the few cities in Latvia which can pride itself on a unified ensemble of both classic and eclectic styles. The cultural heritage of architectural, artistic, industrial, and historical monuments combined with the picturesque surroundings create the essence of Daugavpils's image and endow it with a special charm.

In 2020, the municipality allocated 70,000 euros for the restoration of eight historical buildings, including [[Art Nouveau]] and red brick buildings.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://eng.lsm.lv/article/culture/history/daugavpils-to-spend-70000-on-historical-restorations.a349237/ |title=Daugavpils to spend 70,000 on historical restorations |date=21 February 2020 |publisher=[[Public Broadcasting of Latvia]] |access-date=23 March 2020}}</ref>

There are also several architectural, historical, and cultural monuments in Daugavpils. The most prominent are:

* [[Daugavpils fortress]] - built in the years 1810-1878, after the decree of Tsar [[Alexander I of Russia]]. In April 2013 the [[Mark Rothko Art centre]] was opened in the fortress. Formerly, the fortress hosted also the Baroque [[Daugavpils Jesuit Church]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pro Hereditate Catholica - Daugavpils jezuītu baznīcas vēsture un kādreizējā nozīme |url=https://fsspx-fsipd.lv/baznicas-vesture/makslas-vesture/319-ogle-daugavpils-jezuitu-baznica |access-date=2024-04-04 |website=fsspx-fsipd.lv}}</ref> but it was destroyed in 1944 and the ruins were demolished in 1950s.
* [[:lv:Daugavpils Svētā Pētera baznīca|St. Peter-in-Chains Catholic Church]] - the oldest preserved church in the city, built in 1845-1848 and rebuilt in 1924-1934.
* [[:ru:Александро-Невский собор (Даугавпилс)|Alexander Nevsky Cathedral]] - Orthodox church built in 1999-2003 in place of the old Orthodox cathedral, which was built in 1856-1864 and destroyed in 1969.
* [[:lv:Daugavpils sinagoga|Daugavpils Synagogue]] - built in 1850
* Church Hill (Baznīci kalnas) - place where the churches of four christian denominations are located next to each other: [[:lv:Daugavpils Jaunavas Marijas Bezvainīgās Ieņemšanas Romas katoļu baznīca|Immaculate Conception Catholic Church]], [[Martin Luther Cathedral, Daugavpils|Martin Luther Cathedral]], [[Ss.

===Red brick buildings===
[[File:GimnazjumPolskieDyneburg.JPG|thumb|right|Polish-language gymnasium (academic secondary school)]]
Daugavpils is exceptionally rich in red brick buildings. This style was developed by many outstanding architects. In Daugavpils, this variety of eclecticism is most widely represented in the buildings designed by [[Wilhelm Neumann]], an architect of German origin who was the chief architect of the city from 1878 to 1895. Bright examples of brick architecture are the buildings at 1/3 Saules Street and at 8 Muzeja Street. The shape-forming techniques typical of eclecticism that were applied in the façades of these buildings even many decades later make one appreciate and admire the striking accuracy of detail.

==Government==
[[File:Daugavpils city hall.jpg|thumb|Daugavpils City Hall]]
The head of the city government is the mayor of Daugavpils or, literally, 'Council Chairman' (''domes priekšsēdētājs''). The incumbent since January 2021 is [[Andrejs Elksniņš]], an independent formerly of the [[Social Democratic Party "Harmony"|Harmony party]]. It is his third term in office, his initial term was ended after the coalition broke apart in September 2017 less than a month following the 2017 municipal elections and he was succeeded by {{Interlanguage link|Rihards Eigims|lv|3=Rihards Eigims}} of the [[Latvian Green Party]] (elected on the "Our Party" electoral list). "Our Party" governed in coalition with the [[Latgale Party]] of the previous mayor [[Jānis Lāčplēsis]]. Eigims was previously mayor from 2001–2003 as leader of the [[Light of Latgale]] party and briefly in 2009 as a member of the [[Latvian Social Democratic Workers' Party]].

The Council consists of 15 members who are elected every four years. The [[2021 Latvian municipal elections|most recent election]] was in 2021.

==Economy==
[[File:Ziegler - panoramio (1).jpg|thumb|Ziegler machine works]]
Industry is important and local employers include the Daugavpils Locomotive Repair Plant (''[[:lv:Daugavpils Lokomotīvju Remonta Rūpnīca|Daugavpils Lokomotīvju Remonta Rūpnīca]]''), the Ditton [[Chain drive|Driving Chain]] Factory (''Ditton pievadķēžu rūpnīca''), ''DAUER'' group of metalworks, ''Latvijas Maiznieks'' commercial bakery, ''Ziegler GmbH'' machine works, ''Axon'' cable assembly plant, ''Nexis Fibers'' industrial yarn, ''Latgales alus SIA'' brewery and ''Fores'', a manufacturer of windows and interior wood fittings.

The chemical industry was well developed during the Soviet era and largely disappeared after the return to capitalism in the 1990s. The ''Dauteks'' synthetic fibre plant was one of the largest in the USSR and was the second largest industrial employer in Latvia. The [[:lv:Ķīmija (Daugavpils)|Ķīmija]] suburb built to house it's workers in the 1960s was named after the plant. It was owned by the French company [[Rhodia (company)|Rhodia]] in the early 2000s before closing entirely. A number of tax incentives exist to attract new industrial investment to eastern Latvia.
