The Military
Administration of
Alt-Pasua, Neu-Pasua and
Woika
Neu-Pasua,
A Short Homeland
Book
By Mathias Huber
Translated by Henry Fischer,
Edited by Rose Vetter
The ethnographic and
topographic documents
relating to the
communities of
Alt-Pasua, Neu-Pasua and
Woika for the
Peterwardein Border
Regiment Nr. 9,
responsible to the
Governor of the Crown
Lands of the Serbian
Vojwodina and the
Temesvár Banat in the
years 1859/1860 are
written in the German
language and are
handwritten. From that
period of time there are
219 handwritten reports
related to these
communities in the State
Archives in Temesvár.
We are indebted to
Professor Anton Scherer,
an instructor and
teacher at the
University of Graz for
the discovery of these
documents.
A Footnote
The following accounts
are from the original
documents of the three
Grenzer (border)
communities. In order
not to stray too far
from the original
handwritten records we
have maintained the
primary military usages
of the past. However,
primarily for the sake
of younger readers
engaged in research the
author has inserted the
contemporary German
words for those terms
and old usages that are
no longer in use.
Lesser known words are
explained in brackets.
There are some
statements in the
original records that
contradict other
information but the
reader should not allow
that to upset him.
Peterwardein Border
Regiment Nr 9/10 Company
This is the
compilation and
presentation of data for
a historical and
geographical record of
the Serbian Banat Region
and the adjoining
Imperial and Royal
Military Frontier
District, Temesvár,
January 8, 1859.
