Agadici is administered by the town Oraviţa / Orawitz
The history of
Agadici can be traced back to at least the 1600s, when records note a population of 800 souls. Today, there are fewer than 200 people living in Agadici.
Agadici
is a word derived from the Turkish language; Aga meaning 'colonel' and dici meaning 'daughter of.' Therefore, Agadici means, daughter of the colonel. The town was supposedly named after a colonel's daughter when the Ottoman Empire was in occupation of the land that is now the Banat.
Agadici was among 190 villages affected by the deportation to the
Bărăgan Steppe
in 1951.

is a
village
in
Serbia.
It is
situated
in the
Bela

South
Banat
District,
Vojvodina
province. On
the back
you can
find a
latin
description. This
wonderful
view was
published
in the
Janssonius
town
books in
1650. The
town
books
contain
views of
cities
and
towns
from all
over the
world
and were
published
at a
time
when
Joannes
and
Cornelis
Blaeu
were
still
planning
their
"cities
of the
world".
But
contrary
to what
the
Blaeus
had
produced and
were to
produce,
Janssonius's
work was
not
original
throughout. Janssonius
had
acquired
the
plates
of the
Civitates
orbis
terrarum
from
Abraham
Hogenberg.
The bulk
was
incorporated
into the
townbooks.
For many
plates
of the
cities
of the
Netherland,
Janssonius
ordered
copper
plates,
newly
engraved
after
the
orininals
by
Blaeu.
Further
artists
are only
partly
known.

Between 1770 - 1771 the old
village was subject to
colonization by German General
Johann Altringen, a period in
which the entire Banat is
subject to colonization by
Germans. General Altringen,
acting governor of the Banat,
ordered the establishment of
several villages for German
settlers in this area. These
Charlottenburg (named after his
wife) and Altringen. To make
room for German settlers, the
native population was relocated
to other villages. Altringen
Romanians continued to use the
name or Recheşel Recăşel until
the interwar period.
The
Neumannsche
settlement resulted in
1770 establishing the
following villages:
Kleinjetscha, Heufeld,
Mastort, Marienfeld,
Albrechtsflor und 1771

"name means "the big village
in Banat"
A village in
the
Kikinda
municipality,
in the North
Banat
District of
the Republic
of Serbia.
It is
situated in
the
Autonomous
Province of
Vojvodina.
Following Ottoman rule, there
were no proper settlements in
the present location of the
village. Following an order by
the Empress Maria Theresa of
Austria on November 25, 1763,
the right to settle this area
was given exclusively to Roman
Catholics. In 1770 and 1771,
this area was settled by French
settlers from the Lorraine
region and by southwestern
German settlers, the
southwestern German settlers
later becoming known as the
Banat Swabians. They founded
three villagesSankt Hubert,
Charleville and Seultour. In
the course of the late 18th
century, these settlements
changed hands several times.
Over time, the French settlers
were assimilated into the German
population. After World War II,
the Germans fled to Germany and
Serb families from Bosnia came
to the settlements.
One
larger village named Veliko Selo
was formed out of the three
existing German villages.In 1948, its name was changed to
Banatsko Veliko Selo. The
names of the former German
villages are today used as names
for districts within the larger
village.

Bazoş (German Basosch,
Hungarian Bázos) is
first dated on Mercys
map (1723-1725) as Basos.
In 1783 it appeared as
Bassosch (Suciu, DILT,
I, p. 59), while the
Hungarian administration
names were Bazuss (Nagy,
I, p. 374) and Bázos
(1851 and 1913).
Korabinski said that
Basos or Bazos is a
valah settlement where
population breeds
cattle, raise bees and
make wheels for charriot.
In the middle 19th
century about 40
Hungarian families were
colonized here. Bazoşu
Nou (German Neu Basosch,
Hungarian Új Bázos) was
built in 1854 (Suciu,
DILT, I, p. 59) and was
a Romanian village. It
grew in importance after
the natural park was
created. [Remus Cretan]
Official map drawn in 1761
shows the village as an
uninhabited area. In 1783 it
appears with the name
Bassosch (German).
The property has long been erariului.
From 1867 the property
passed erariu Ambrozy
brothers (or Ambrose).
Throughout the nineteenth
century, the Hungarian
government settled 30
Hungarian families.
Between 1909 and 1914 Louis
arranged for the Ambrozy
family estate who owned a
populated forest with dozens
of botanical species from
the North American
continent, especially from
the Arboretum at Harvard
University. Thus was born Bazoş Dendrologic Park.
In
1926, the western boundary
of the village, which
belonged to the estate of
Louis Ambrozy were brought
about 46 families around
Sibiu Transylvania and
founded a new settlement was
named New Bazoşu.

Ernsthausen was founded in 1822 by Danube Swabians
settlers and named after an
Austrian army officer Field
Marshal, Lieutenant Ernest
Kiss de Elemer. The settlers
were exclusively Roman
Catholic in faith, and in
1844 they built a large
schoolhouse which was used
until 1944. During the 19th
and early 20th century
Danube Swabians played an
important role in developing
the economy. Dr. Sepp Janko,
chairman of the Schwäbisch-Deutschen
Kulturbundes (Danube Swabian
German Cultural Association)
was born here in 1905. On 8
December 1888 the newly
built Gothic style Roman
Catholic church was opened
(it was demolished in 1945).
The 1930 census showed a
population of 2421 people.
After 1945 all the Danube
Swabians were deported and
all evidence their existence
was systematically destroyed
or obscured by the Communist
authorities.

The town was
founded in
1787. By
1921 its
population
included
4,450
Germans,
which
comprised
97.7 percent
of the total
population
of the time.
It was also
the location
of a
concentration
camp for
local
civilians of
German
origin held
by Partisans
after World
War II.
After World
War II, the
town was
colonized by
Serbs who
came from
Bosnia,
Krajina,
Lika, and
Dalmatia as
well as
Macedonians
who came
from
Macedonia.
On May 11,
1999 during
the NATO
Bombing
Campaign of
the Kosovo
War, the
town was
targeted by
NATO forces
in a mission
to destroy
an apparent
tactical
reporting
post. There
were also
unsubstantiated
claims of an
F-16 being
shot down on
the
outskirts of
Kačarevo in
the early
morning
hours of May
8, 1999 by a
surface-to-air
missile,
while
speculation
also
suggests
that the
pilot
ejected
safely as
there was an
intensive
search by
Yugoslav
military
during the
night and
during the
next
morning. The number
of reported
inhabitants
of the town
in 2002 was
7,624, in
approximately
2,529
households.
The majority
of
inhabitants
are ethnic
Serbs (5,042
or 66.13%),
while
Macedonians
form 19.24%
of the
population
or 1,467
people.
Unfortunately,
about 8
percent of
the towns'
population
are either
refugees or
internally
displaced
persons,
mostly
resulting
from recent

Verlorene Heimat Georgshausen Author: Dr. Josef Wüst (1925-2003),
commissioned by the village association in 1989 and published in Austria in 1991 by former villagers: Helmut Birg, Hans Loch, Konrad Löchel and Josef Wüst.
Verlorene Heimat Georgshausen1849-1945
(in German); Wüst, Josef (1991). Translated to English Lost Homeland Georgshausen by Henry Fischer. Ray Borschowa (published 2008). Barbara Hebenstreit, the authors daughter, proof read the entire book. Editors: Ray Borschowa and Barbara Hebenstreit. Published by Ray Borschowa.
Since Georgshausen was a daughter community of Zichydorf, the descendents of either village should find the book interesting, or anyone who wants to read about community life in a small village in the Banat. The author covers holiday celebrations, customs and community life quite well.
Ray Borschowa comments:
Henry
Fischer has
a
great
knowledge of
the
Danube
Swabian
culture and
dialect,
because of
that he
did a
wonderful
translation,
without him
this work
would not
have been
accomplished.
He has
written
several
books on the
Danube
Swabians.
Since
the original
book used
local words,
it was
unlike
translating
a typical
German book,
but
fortunately,
we were able
to contact a
number of
the former
villagers
who helped
answer the
numerous
questions
that arose
during the
translation.
In addition,
the authors
daughter,
Barbara
Hebenstreit,
proof read
the entire
book.
Dr. Wüst
wrote the
book in a
style that
Germans
refer to as:
to the
heart
going, its
like he is
sitting
there
telling the
story.
Primary
topics
covered:
A short
history
of the
Banat.
The
consequences
of the
First
World
War.
The
founding
of
Georgshausen
in 1849
and its
development,
such as
the
railroad,
artesian
wells,
enlarging
the
village,
church
life,
politics
and
industry.
Also its
bond
with
Zichydorf.
WWII and
shortly
after.
About 55
pages
are
devoted
to
this.
It
includes
many
personal
stories,
and the
tragedies
that
WWII
brought
to the
village.
Life in
the
village
and the
customs;
about 50
pages.
The
author
did a
very
good job
with
this
topic.
In the
chapter
This is
the Way
it was
Back
Home he
starts
with the
beginning
of the
year and
discusses
all of
the
major
events
and
holidays
throughout
the
year.
He also
includes
the
customs
for
baptisms,
weddings
and
funerals.
The Birg
family
of
Georgshausen,
formerly
from
Karlsdorf.
The
Birgs
were one
of the
most
well
known
families
throughout
the
Banat.
They
were
industrialists
and
large
farmers.
The life
and
legends
about
this
family
are
covered
in the
book.
Housing,
eating
and
drinking.
Agriculture,
industry,
shopkeepers
and
trades.
Social
organizations

activities

An
Excursion
to the
Kirchweih
in Gross Gaj.
This is
a
humorous
story
that
took
place
when the
automobile
was
still a
novelty
in the
Banat.
A group
of young
men
commandeered
a
traveling
salesmans
automobile
and
drove it
to the
Kirchweih
celebration
in the
neighboring
village
of Gross
Gaj.
The
problem
was they
did not
know
anything
about
cars,
nor was
the road
suited
for auto
travel! It
turned
out to
be a
sensation
in Gross Gaj.
The
names of
the
villagers
who were
living
in the
village

The English
edition
has
additional
pages
and
footnotes
added
to describe
some things
in more
detail.
It also
has about 30
more
pictures
than the
German
edition.
Total number
of pictures
in the book
is a little
over 150.
Its a hard

Counting
the

blank pages,
the book is
294 pages.
The price is

shipping. Shipping
rates: In the US,
the book can
be shipped
by media

Sending one
book to
Canada is
$21.20,
there is no
media mail
rate for
Canada.
However, I
may be able
to mail it
from within
Canada for
much less.
I am
checking
into this
option.
Multiple
books can be
sent to
Canada much
cheaper in
flat rate
postal
boxes.
There are
two flat
rate boxes,
one will
hold three
books and
costs $24
for postage
($8 per

is a bigger
box that
will hold
five books
and costs
$30 for
postage ($6

For the
folks in the

I will be
sending them
in bulk to
Glenn
Schwartz and
you can pick
up a copy at
his house.
The postage
for sending
one book to

It is composed
of four
villages: Munar

Nagy Gaj was belonging to the Bishop of Nagybecserek
(Zrenjanin) where the Hungarian
researcher László Rudolf found the Birth-Marriage-Death records: 1918-1926 (duplicate) for
Veliki Gaj (Nagy Gáj/Gross Gaj). And it is for sure that it is not about the original church
registers but about a copy on them which, theoretically, after 1825, must be forwarded each
year to the superiors.
In "Adalekok a Zrenjanini-Nagy Becskereki Egyhazmegye tortenetehez" [by ERÖS Lajos, 1993].
Translation: [Contribution to the history of Zrenjanin-Nagy Becskerek Churches]. The author
gives the exact location [church, civil registration/mayoralty, archives] for the church
registers for each village/parish/church in Serbian Banat. Unfortunately, for
Nagygay/Maleniczfalva
ERÖS Lajos is positive: the church registers were kept separately starting 1832 but "mind
megsemmisultek" [translation: everything was lost].
Located in the Plandite municipality, about 1 km
SE of the Romanian border, 30 km E of Pantschowa, about 70 km NE of
Belgrade.
The village was first mentioned in 1355 under name
Gaj. In the 17th century, the name of the village was changed to Veliki Gaj.
During the Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), the village was mostly
populated by ethnic Serbs.

In 1848, Josif
Malenica, landowner of Veliki Gaj led
the Germans to work on the property and founded a new settlement next to Veliki Gaj, thus named it
Malenicafalva, which merged with Veliki Gaj in 1888; both settlements
counted 2569 residents.
In 1850-1854, thanks to landowners help, the church
was built, and named for his deceased son, St Peter. In this
church is the tomb of landowner Malenica, which are all buried (first
they were buried in the old church, so they were moved to a new tomb in
the church, where they are today).
Ordered by
landowner Malenica, the village was laid out with straight streets
and
the houses were built next to the street. Before
that they all were inside the house, the yard, to protect from peeping
into the house, theft or breaking into homes.
According to the claims of Veliki Gaj was then notorious settlement due
to theft and robbery. There were often
fights among Serbs, Germans, Hungarians and other nationalities.
The village was founded/colonized with Germans
settlers coming from Banat in 1816.
Filial parish of Deutsch-Stamora [between
1816-1832].
The parish was raised in 1832 [and the church
registers were kept separately starting 1832].
The RC church, SS Nomen B.M.V., was raised in 1854-'55 and was blessed
in 1856.
Maleniczfalva and Nagy Gaj merged in 1889 [or
1885?] and the RC parish was moved from Malenitzfalva to Nagy Gaj.
Since 1716, the village was part of the Habsburg
Monarchy, which encouraged the settlement of German-speaking
Donauschwaben (Danube Swabians) and others. In 1910, the population of
the village numbered 2,930 inhabitants, including 1,456 Serbs, 743
Hungarians, and 620 Germans. After the First World War, the village became part of the Kingdom of Serbs,
Croats, and Slovenes (renamed to Yugoslavia in 1929). During the Second
World War (19411944), the village was under Axis occupation, and was part
of the autonomous Banat region within German-occupied Serbia.
After the war, the village was part of the new
socialist Yugoslavia, within the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina
and Socialist Republic of Serbia. The German and Hungarian population was
been expelled in 1944/45. In 1991, the village had 897 inhabitants,
including 883 Serbs, and 14 ethnic Hungarians.
Since 1992, the village was part of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia, that in 2003 was transformed into the State Union of
Serbia and Montenegro. Since the dissolution of this state in June 2006, the
village became part of an independent Serbia.

An Excursion to the Kirchweih in Gross Gaj. This is a humorous story that took place
when the automobile was still a novelty in the Banat. A group of young men
commandeered a traveling salesmans automobile and drove it to the Kirchweih
celebration in the neighboring village of Gross Gaj.
The problem was they did not know anything about cars, nor was the road
suited for auto travel! It turned out to be a sensation in Gross Gaj. [Author: Dr. Josef Wüst (1925-2003);

Legend has it that the weary Hercules stopped in the
valley to bathe and rest. During the 165 years of Roman domination of Dacia,
the Herculaneum Spa was known all over the Empire. Unearthed stone carvings
show that visiting Roman aristocrats turned the town into a Roman leisure
center. Six statues of Hercules from the time have been discovered. A bronze
replica of one of them, molded in 1874, stands as a landmark in the town
center.
In modern times, the spa town has been visited for its
natural healing properties: hot springs with sulfur, chlorine, sodium, calcium,
magnesium and other minerals, as well as negatively ionized air. Before World War
II, when the first modern hotel was built (i.e. H Cerna, 1930) it remained a popular
destination with Western Europeans, who lent the town a refined elegance. During the
Communist rule, mass tourism facilities were built, such as the 8-12 levels tall
concrete hotels Roman, Hercules A, Hercules B, Afrodita, Minerva, Diana, UGSR, etc.
which dominate the skyline. It was visited by all publics, but especially popular
with employees and retirees, who would spend their state-allotted vacation vouchers
there, hoping to improve their health. Today, they share the town with a younger
crowd, attracted by its beautiful mountain setting. An incredible array of new
private-owned pensions and hotels appeared after 1989, along the Cerna/Tiena river
banks, spread from the beautiful romantic train station to the end of the
hydroelectrical dam. Although very beautiful also, some of the Austro-Hungarian era
buildings are derelict for the time being, including many of the baths, because of
post-communism property related issues.

Ethnic Germans settled in the settlement
starting in 1803, and in the same year some
Slavic Kraovani settlers from eastern Banat
settled here as well. In 1921, name of the
settlement was Karlovo Selo, and in
1926, it was officially named Banatski
Karlovac. In the same year, the reading
room was founded and monument dedicated to
Serbs killed in 1848 revolution was built.
Before the end of World War II, most of the
inhabitants of this town were ethnic
Germans. After the war, their property was
confiscated by the state and Germans were
expelled or killed in concentration camps
run by Yugoslav communist authorities. A
German Lutheran church was razed off soon
after the expulsion of Germans.
After the war, 615 (mostly Serb) families
with 3,775 family members settled in the
town. They originated from Central Serbia,
Bosnia and Montenegro, mostly from area
around Uice and Čačak. Some settlers were
not satisfied with life conditions in the
town, so about 80 families returned to their
place of origin. In 1949, town was named
Banatsko Rankovićevo, and this name was in
use until 1956, when old name Banatski
Karlovac was returned.

The Tirol is located in the Romanian Banat, 80 km southeast of the
capital city of Banat Timişoara in the county of Caras-Severin. Other
cities near the small town Bokschan (Bocsa) and the industrial city of
Resita (Resita) are. The village lies on a low altitude of 176 m, where
the mild climate favors the fruit and wine.
The freedom struggle of the Austrian Tyrolean peasants in 1809 was
under Andreas Hofer against Napoleon and the Bavarians trigger the
establishment of the Tyrol village in the Banat Mountains. After the
defeat of the insurgents and the Tyrolean Schoenbrunn peace agreement
took many Tyrolean escape. The leaders of the uprising were meanwhile
feverishly pursued.
On the side of Andreas Hofer at that time was his aide Joseph
Speckbacher. This was it possible under mysterious circumstances to come
to Vienna. In May 1810 he was commissioned by the emperor, the Tyrolean
refugees to lead to the Banat and to found a colony. On 16 September
1812, when the colony was already in Tyrol 30 houses, the Emperor issued
a certificate that the village's name "Königsgnad" received. As part of
the Tyrol Magyarization was renamed in 1888 in Királykegye. After it was
divided in 1927, the Banat, the new town has been called since that time
Tyrol.
Today's sign bears both the original name Königsgnad and Tyrol.

Covăsânț commune is situated in the
contact zone of the Zărand Mountains western foothills
and the Aradului Plateau, on the Matca channel. Its
surface stretches over 4227 hectares. It is composed of
a single village, Covăsânț, which lies at 28 km from
Arad.
The village was formed
after the Second World War when former villages of
Beodra and Dragutinovo were joined into one single
village known as Novo Miloevo. Before 1918,
Dragutinovo was known as Karlovo.
The former village of
Beodra was first mentioned in 1331. It was established
at present-day location from 1742-53, and was settled by
Serbs from Potisje and Pomorije. The village of Karlovo
was established in 1751 by former Serb frontiersmen. In
1918, the name of the village was changed from Karlovo
to Dragutinovo, after Dragutin Ristić, a colonel
in the Serbian army, whose unit occupied the village. In
1946, Dragutinovo and Beodra were joined into one single
village known as Novo Miloevo, after Milo Popov
Klima, a noted Partisan who was born in Dragutinovo.

Ethnic Germans settled in the settlement
starting in 1803, and in the same year some
Slavic Kraovani settlers from eastern Banat
settled here as well. In 1921, name of the
settlement was Karlovo Selo, and in
1926, it was officially named Banatski
Karlovac. In the same year, the reading
room was founded and monument dedicated to
Serbs killed in 1848 revolution was built.
Before the end of World War II, most of the
inhabitants of this town were ethnic
Germans. After the war, their property was
confiscated by the state and Germans were
expelled or killed in concentration camps
run by Yugoslav communist authorities. A
German Lutheran church was razed off soon
after the expulsion of Germans.
After the war, 615 (mostly Serb) families
with 3,775 family members settled in the
town. They originated from Central Serbia,
Bosnia and Montenegro, mostly from area
around Uice and Čačak. Some settlers were
not satisfied with life conditions in the
town, so about 80 families returned to their
place of origin. In 1949, town was named
Banatsko Rankovićevo, and this name was in
use until 1956, when old name Banatski
Karlovac was returned.

The Tirol is located in the Romanian Banat, 80 km southeast of the
capital city of Banat Timişoara in the county of Caras-Severin. Other
cities near the small town Bokschan (Bocsa) and the industrial city of
Resita (Resita) are. The village lies on a low altitude of 176 m, where
the mild climate favors the fruit and wine.
The freedom struggle of the Austrian Tyrolean peasants in 1809 was
under Andreas Hofer against Napoleon and the Bavarians trigger the
establishment of the Tyrol village in the Banat Mountains. After the
defeat of the insurgents and the Tyrolean Schoenbrunn peace agreement
took many Tyrolean escape. The leaders of the uprising were meanwhile
feverishly pursued.
On the side of Andreas Hofer at that time was his aide Joseph
Speckbacher. This was it possible under mysterious circumstances to come
to Vienna. In May 1810 he was commissioned by the emperor, the Tyrolean
refugees to lead to the Banat and to found a colony. On 16 September
1812, when the colony was already in Tyrol 30 houses, the Emperor issued
a certificate that the village's name "Königsgnad" received. As part of
the Tyrol Magyarization was renamed in 1888 in Királykegye. After it was
divided in 1927, the Banat, the new town has been called since that time
Tyrol.
Today's sign bears both the original name Königsgnad and Tyrol.

Dragutinovo was known as Karlovo.
The former village of
Beodra was first mentioned in 1331. It was established
at present-day location from 1742-53, and was settled by
Serbs from Potisje and Pomorije. The village of Karlovo
was established in 1751 by former Serb frontiersmen. In
1918, the name of the village was changed from Karlovo
to Dragutinovo, after Dragutin Ristić, a colonel
in the Serbian army, whose unit occupied the village. In

Hilda Grenzner story of Lindenfeld
-
From the bustling village of yesteryear, today
Lindenfeld are left standing only the church and a
few houses, all of which are in an advanced state of
decay. However, I was surprised to find there some
houses under renovation / construction.One of them I learned that she a German, whose
ancestors were originally from Lindenfeld.His plan would be to open a hostel here and, over
time, to revive the former village of pemi through
tourism.
Lindenfeld is a
mountain village in Caras-Severin, founded by pemi (German settlers coming from Bohemia),
today left. Difficult living conditions, harsh
winters and very difficult doorways led to a
gradual depopulation of the settlement, the last
inhabitant was recorded nearly two decades ago.
Paradoxically, Lindenfeld continues to exist and
has officially ZIP code. Like an open-air
museum, ruins of the former village of pemi are
visited annually, especially in summer, a
considerable number of tourists. (Published
Plaiuri -
)
Lindenfeld population of ethnic
Germans was exclusively and never has been a
mixed marriage.Maria Wasselak, a former native, remembered that
t maintenance
lacked opportunities for the future, teach a
class I-IV simultaneously led by one teacher who
had the task of teaching the children Romanian,
work difficult because at home they spoke only
German, Romanian parents knowing.
The village could be reached only on foot or by
horse-drawn carriage on a road undeveloped.Men and women
were working in forestry (reînsămânţatul cutting
and forest trees).These works were
done almost exclusively winter, summer is busy
with work on the fields (allotments) own.The money earned
is sufficient for essentials.
Some young men have sought jobs in Caransebeş.Due to the lack of the access, transport was
difficult: a bus travel up
the hill (Unternberg, so called people place on
forest road Poiana-Lindenfeld). From there, the
workers have to climb the steep slope, the trail
untouched for 30-45 minutes to the village.
In 1975, the
"field with lime" (translation Lindenfeld name)
lived 178 pemi Germans. Afterwards, the village
was completely depopulated, especially after
1990, when most emigrated to Germany. Last
pem, Schwirzenbeck old Paul did not want to
leave the village and lived alone in Lindenfeld
until 1998. He died in the autumn, in Caransebeş,
at age 83, was injured by a car.
One of six villages: Altringen, Bogda,

Pini (Újlugoskisfalu), Victor Vlad Delamarina and
Visag (Krassóviszák).
A village in Serbia in the municipality of Kovačica.
Majority of the population are Slovaks (96.78%).
Padina lies in the middle
of South Banat, at the border of Deliblato's shoal, on
52.75 km2, and in a southeast-northwest
course. Geographical width of village is 45°7' N and
20°44' E. Altitude is between 105 and 120 meters above
sea level (the church is on 111 m). Its name means slope or downhill. Padina covers 13% of
Kovačica municipality, that is parting of the ways of
roads to Belgrade, Zrenjanin, Novi Sad and Vrac.
The settlement was
initiated by Archduke Ludwig to strengthen the Military
Border between Austrian and Ottoman Empires. The
official name was related to the initiator - Ludwigsdorf
in German or Lájosfalva in Hungarian (both meaning
Ludwig's village). The inhabitants, however, kept
calling it Padina.
In the beginning, the
settlers had problem with drinkable water, as it is
being found deep underground and the soil is unstable.
The archduke promised them to build wells, which
unfortunately took many years (until 1817) to fulfill.
Thus in the first years of settlement, the settlers were
depending on wells in Kovačica several kilometers away.

The first German settlers arrived in 1766, followed by others in 1784 and 1792. In 1779, after abolition of the Banat of Temeswar, Modo was included in Torontal County, which was part of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. Some local Serbs who were dissatisfied with this administrative change left Modo and settled in the Banatian Military Frontier. In the end of the 18th century, Modo was politically divided into two settlements - Serbian Modo and German Modo. In 1795 a Catholic church was built.
During the 1860s, the ethnic structure changed as some Serbs left and some Germans from
Bačka settled there instead.

Novo Selo
is situated
in the Kanjia
municipality, in the North Banat District, Vojvodina province; 18 km SE from
Beodra,
South of
Kikinda.
Novo Selo used to be situated in the Kikinda
municipality of the North Banat District of Vojvodina in modern times. Initially, it
is believed to have been within the Novi Becej district.
On some Hungarian maps of the late 19th and early 20th
Century, Novo Selo was/is listed as Pusztanovoszello. Since the place continued to
lose population after its German residents were rounded up and placed into
confinement in 1945 as part of Tito's ethnic cleansing aimed against Yugoslavia's
German minority, vestiges of old Novo Selo were merged with Banatska Topola
as of around 1955 and use of the old name was discontinued.
Újfalu, the Hungarian translation of the original Serb
name, apparently was never in use officially for this locality.
This particular former Novo Selo ceased to exist in the
2nd half of the 20th Century.

Međa (Међа) is a village located in the itite
municipality, in the Central Banat District of Serbia. It is situated in the
Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.
Former Serb Pardanj was known as Srpski Pardanj in
Serbian, Serbische Pardan in German, and Szerb-Párdány in Hungarian.
Former Slovak Pardanj was known as Totovski
Pardanj in Serbian, Slowakisch Pardan in German, and Tót-Párdány in Hungarian. It
was later also known as German Pardanj (Serbian: Nemački Pardanj, German: Deutsch
Pardan, Hungarian: Német-Párdány) and Hungarian Pardanj (Serbian: Mađarski Pardanj,
German: Ungarisch Pardan, Hungarian: Magyar-Párdány)
After the First World War, the Treaty of
Versailles in 1919 assigned Pardanj to Romania. It was under Romanian administration
until 1924, when it was assigned to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In
this time, its name was changed to Ninčićevo. Near the end of the Second World
War (1944) the German population was sent to Tito's concentration camps. The
village and colonists from Bosnia and Herzegovina settled here instead of them. New
inhabitants named the village Međa ("border" in English) because of the proximity of
the state border. Formerly, Međa was a seat of the municipality, but later was
included into new municipality with seat in itite.

Catholic Church Name:

Maria-Radna*
Š Herbert Habenicht
Radna,
probably
Romania's
most
important
Catholic
pilgrimage
destination.
Located on
the right
bank of the
Mure River
was first
mentioned in
1440 and
today is
part of the
town of
Lipova (Lippa)
on the other
side of the
river. The
first
Franciscan
monks had
been called
into Lipova
by King Karl
Robert of
Anjou
already in
1325/27. At
least since
1626
Franciscans
also lived
in Radna.
The
pilgrimage
church Maria
Radna dates
back to the
18th
century.
Radna had
become such
a popular
pilgrimage
site during
the early
18th century
that the old
church
became too
small.
Therefore,
it was
decided in
1750 to
build a new
church. In
1756 the
construction
work
started. The
new church
was
consecrated
in 1767 and
the image of
Our Lady was
brought here
from the old
church. The
church was
finished in
1782.
In 1911 the
two towers
were
heightened
and now have
a height of
66 m [right,
no.347]. A
fire in 1923
damaged the
church and
the
monastery.
Between 1948
and 1952
many
monasteries
in Romania
were closed
by the
authorities
and the
members of
these orders
were all
sent to
Radna; the
Franciscans
were only
allowed to
inhabit a
tiny part of
the
monastery.
In 1952 the
monastery
was
transformed
into a home
for elderly
and
handicapped
people.
Today
several
Franciscans
live in the
monastery
again. The
church was
renovated in
1971. In
1992 the
church
received the
status of a
Basilica
minor by
Pope John
Paul II.
Centre of
the
pilgrimage
church is
the image of
Our Lady, a
17th century
print which
was brought
to Radna in
1668. In
1769/71 the
image was
given a
frame made
of 30 kg of
massive
silver. In
1820 two
golden
crowns for
the Virgin
and the
infant Jesus
were affixed
to the
image.

GENOCIDE of
the Ethnic

Yugoslavia
1944-1948;
Chapter 9:
The
Suffering
and Dying of
German
Clergy.
Excerpt:
"The
Catholic
and
Protestant
clergy
was a
highly
respected
profession
by the
Germans
in the
former
Yugoslavia.
During
the
persecution
of the
ethnic
Germans
by the
partisan
regime,
37 of
them
were
killed,
mostly
in a
gruesome
manner.
The
clergy
of both
denominations
became
martyrs
for two
reasons:
first
because
they
were
declared
ideological
enemies
of the
Atheist
dominated
Yugoslavia
and
second
because
they
belonged
to the
ethnic
German
population
which
was
destined
to be
exterminated.
The
short
biographies
of some
of these
murdered
clerics
are
representative
of the
suffering
and
annihilation
of this
vocational
group.
More
detailed
descriptions
are
documented
in the
book Verbrechen
an den
Deutschen
in
Jugoslawien
1944-48,
(Crimes
Against
the
Ethnic
Germans
in
Yugoslavia),
pages
256-270,
published
by the
Donauschwäbische
Kulturstiftung,
München
1998.
Already
in 1941,
at the
beginning
of the
Axis
Powers'
war with
Yugoslavia,
some
clerics
were
taken as
hostages
and
interned
at
Peterwardein.
With the
battle
fronts
getting
closer
in 1941,
most of
the
clergy
refused
to
leave,
even
though
implored
to flee.
While
some
were
initially
spared
from
internment,
others
were
ridiculed,
forced
to do
menial
work and
tortured.
Several
were
already
murdered
in their
parishes
immediately
after
the
occupation
as part
of the
annihilation
process
by the Intelligenzija
campaign.
For them
death
was a
release
from
their
sufferings."

Triebswetter Heimatbuch der

Association of Former Residents of Triebswetter. English Title: Triebswetter
A Village in the Banat It's Past and It's People. Translated by Henry Fischer, edited by Ray Borschowa &
Karen Preston. Published in July 2016 by Ray
Borschowa.
Ray Borschowa
Comments: It covers the history of Triebswetter
from the time of its founding in 1772 up through
the Baragan deportation in the 1950s. It has
many tables, name lists of people, the original
colonists and where they came from, 115 pictures
and two maps in the back. When writing this
book the authors had access to the parish
history book, the Historia parochiae, and other
parish archived material so it is more detailed
than many of the homeland books. Since
Triebswetter was primarily settled by French
colonists, the situation of the French in the
Banat is covered quite well, and it includes the
French Movement that took place during and
after World War II. This book should be of
particular interest to those who are descendents
of Triebswetter, as well as those who are
interested in the history of any of the Banat
villages, particularly the French villages in
the Banat.
It is hard cover
book printed on high quality paper. With the
front section included, it is 486 pages.
Printed and bound in Portland, Oregon USA. For

Village
of North Banat
District Vojvodina Northeast
Serbia
Municipality of
Kikinda
The village belonged to the
Csanád County in 1449 and in
this time was populated by
Slavs.
At the beginning of the 19th
century, the village of Sajan
was in the possession of a
landowner named Tajnay János and
spread over 9,500 acres (38 km2)
of land. The first settlers were
ethnic Hungarians who came from
the area around Szeged in 1805.
In order to boost the economic
development of the village, Tajnay János invited to the
north-east side of the village
ethnic Germans, and thus
appeared the settlement of
Wilhelmfeld, which Hungarians
called Mihler.
The first school was built in
1828 and its first teacher was
Balog Andras. During the 1848
revolution, Sajan was completely
burned down and by the end of
the century totally abandoned
due to a cholera epidemic. After
spending a few years in
neighboring Iđo, the
inhabitants returned. A Roman
Catholic church was built in
1880.
The village has a
Hungarian ethnic majority
and a population of 1,348 (2002
census).
Hertelendyfalva was
'once' an independent village in Serbia, in Vojvodina,
South Banat, in Toronto County. Today
it is a suburb of Panchova.
On July 21, 1883, the settlement was named Hertelendyfalva in honor of the then chief of the Toronto county and the caretaker of the village, József Hertelendy.
The natives of Hertelendyfalva (mentioned in the memoirs of government commissioner György Nagy mention 500 Germans and 566 Slovaks) were the inhabitants of the flood-affected Marienfeld, therefore Marienfeld is considered to be the outpost of Hertelendyfalva.
The settlers have been keeping their registers since 1869, according to which the majority of the population of Hajduszica is Lutheran Slovak or German. There are also a smaller number from other villages: Kovačica, Lalić Pivnjica, Pazova, Gloanj, Padina, and even smaller numbers from the counties of Nógrád,
Nitra and Trenčín. A small number of German settlers come from the province of Württemberg, Goldstein Palatinate.
After the Marienfeld was destroyed during the floods, the residents were given a flood-free area next to the Vojlovica forest, along the road between Starčevo, where in 1882-83. Szeklers from Bukovina also settled between.
