The Political Community

Because of the peace treaty of Trainon, Scheindorf, along with the Sathmar area, belonged to Romania. On April 19, 1919 (Holy Saturday), the advance guard of the Romanian army entered the town. The change in country had no negative effect, because the peaceful living and working together of the two nationalities was never seriously in danger. On the contrary, the new regime was always ready to further the heritage and culture of the Swabian with whom they lived. 

The Vienna agreement in 1940 transferred north Transylvania and the Sathmar area to Hungary. After World War II, the earlier boundary line of west Romania was restored. Scheindorf and the Sathmar area now belong to the Romanian Socialist Republic. 

The political community - it belonged to the county seat of Hamroth - had, since the settlement of the area with Swabians, almost exclusively German judges. They managed their home communities with skill and knowledge. Since the judges from 1900-1944 are known, they should be listed as representative of all:

Johann Tom

Johann Koch

Josef Schimpf

Adam Tom

Johann Babotschi

Wendelin Schimpf

Martin Holzli

Dumitru Bucur

Josef Tepfendhardt

Stefan Moor

Josef Holzli

Stefan Rewak
