About the Batschka Area
by Klaus Kempf
Today Batschka is situated in the
Autonomous Territory of Vojvodina in
the country of Serbia. It is nestled
between the River Danube and the
River Tisa and it is
mostly a very flat area, which interconnects to the
Hungarian flatland as well as the flatland of the
Romanian Banat. It's a rich agricultural and treeless
farmland, which in its northern part is water poor and
depends on its irrigation on the numerous typical
deep wells of the Pannonian Plateou. North of the city
of Subotica stretches a shallow topsoil area all the way
into Hungary. In the south the flatland consists of
sandy loams, of the formal river valleys of the Danube
and Tisa Rivers. Each spring the numerous river side
arms regularly flood the areas, transforming it into
huge lakes. Already during the times of the Hungarian
Kingdom many canals were built, like the west-east
Veliki Canal.
Even though both the Danube and the Tisa are flanked
with thick forests, the areas away from the rivers is
under intense agricultural cultivation. Corn, wheat,
sunflowers, sugar beats, are some of the main
agricultural products. Just like in the Romanian Banat,
Batschka was resettled in the 16th century with the
German colonists, which as soldier-farmers protected the
Austrian Empire against the Turks. The most important
city of the area besides Subotica at the Hungarian
border is Novi Sad, the capital of Vojvodina.
