Stepove (Ukrainian: Степове) is a village in Mykolaiv Raion, Mykolaiv Oblast in southern Ukraine. Its population was 1869 in the 2001 Ukrainian Census.[1] Along with another village of Zelenyi Hai, it forms a rural community Stepivska Silska Rada.

History

The village was first founded as Karlsruhe (after Karlsruhe) in 1809 by Catholic Germans.[2] The settlement was part of the Beresan Colonial District of Odessa region, Kherson Governorate. In 1886 the population of the German colony of Karlsruhe was 2,132 people; in which time it was part the Landau parish, Odesa district, Kherson Governorate. There were 190 farmsteads, a Roman Catholic church, a school, 2 benches and a Renna cellar. From 1881-1885, according to the project of the architect Corfu, the Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul was built.

In the years 1925-1939, the Karlsruhe colony was part of Karl-Liebknechtovsky's German National District of Mykolaiv region (from Odess'ka oblast since 1932).

Today, the ruins of the 19th-century Catholic church still remain.
