The Great Thessaloniki Fire of 1917 (Greek: Μεγάλη Πυρκαγιά της Θεσσαλονίκης, 1917) destroyed two thirds of the city of Thessaloniki, the second-largest city in Greece, leaving more than 70,000 homeless. The fire burned for 32 hours and destroyed 9,500 houses within an extent of 1 square kilometer. Half the Jewish population emigrated from the city as their livelihoods were gone. Rather than quickly rebuilding, the government commissioned the French architect Ernest Hébrard to design a new urban plan for the burned areas and for the future expansion of the city. His designs are still evident in the city, most notably Aristotelous Square, although some of his most grandiose plans were never completed due to a lack of funds.

  • Η πυρκαγιά της Θεσσαλονίκης, που σημειώθηκε το Σάββατο 5/18 Αυγούστου του 1917 στις 17:00 το απόγευμα, ήταν ένα από τα σημαντικότερα γεγονότα της πόλης, που σημάδεψε την ιστορία της. Ήταν ένα τυχαίο γεγονός που άλλαξε σημαντικά τη φυσιογνωμία της πόλης. Μέσα σε 32 ώρες, η πυρκαγιά έκαψε 9.500 σπίτια σε έκταση 1.000.000 m² και άφησε άστεγους πάνω από 70.000 ανθρώπους. Οικονομικές και εμπορικές λειτουργίες, διοικητικές υπηρεσίες, χώροι αναψυχής και τα σημαντικότερα πνευματικά και θρησκευτικά ιδρύματα των εθνο-θρησκευτικών κοινοτήτων, μαζί με τα αρχεία τους καταστράφηκαν ολοσχερώς. Οι ανθρώπινες απώλειες της πυρκαγιάς ήταν ελάχιστες, με μοναδικούς νεκρούς λίγους Γάλλους στρατιώτες. Το μέρος της πόλης που κάηκε ανοικοδομήθηκε με νέο οργανωμένο σχέδιο, δημιουργώντας μια σύγχρονη πόλη. (el)
  • Der Brand in Thessaloniki 1917 war eine Katastrophe in der griechischen Stadt Thessaloniki (im deutschsprachigen Raum damals üblicherweise Saloniki genannt). Der am 5. Augustjul. / 18. August 1917greg. ausgebrochene Großbrand dauerte 32 Stunden an, zerstörte 9.500 Gebäude im südlichen Stadtzentrum und hatte eine Ausdehnung von etwa einem Quadratkilometer. (de)

  • L'incendie de Thessalonique en 1917 est une des plus grandes catastrophes qui toucha la ville : par l'ampleur des destructions, mais aussi par les choix de reconstructions. (fr)
  • Пожар в Салониках 5 (18) августа 1917 года — одно из главных событий в истории города Салоники, заметно изменившее его облик. Огонь бушевал в течение 32 часов и уничтожил 9500 домов на площади более 1 кв. км. Без крыши над головой осталось более 70 000 жителей. Выгорели ценнейшие памятники истории и архитектуры, включая раннехристианскую базилику св. Димитрия. Уничтоженная пожаром территория была восстановлена по новому проекту, что превратило Салоники из средневекового в современный город. (ru)
  • Il grande incendio di Salonicco del 1917 (in greco moderno: Μεγάλη Πυρκαγιά της Θεσσαλονίκης, 1917) distrusse un terzo della città di Salonicco, la seconda città più grande della Grecia, lasciando più di 70.000 senzatetto. L'incendio durò 32 ore e distrusse 9.500 case in un'estensione di 1 chilometro quadrato. Metà della popolazione ebraica emigrò dalla città perché i loro mezzi di sussistenza erano finiti. Invece di operare a una rapida ricostruzione, il governo incaricò l'architetto francese Ernest Hébrard di progettare un nuovo piano urbanistico per le aree bruciate e per la futura espansione della città. I suoi progetti sono ancora evidenti in città, in particolare in Piazza Aristotele, anche se alcuni dei suoi progetti più grandiosi non furono mai completati a causa della mancanza di (it)
