Šurjan ( Serbian-Cyrillic : Шурјан , Hungarian : Surján , German : Schurian ) is a village in the municipality of Sečanj in the Vojvodina province in Serbia . About 250 inhabitants live in Šurjan, with Serbs and Magyars in roughly equal proportions . The village is on the Serbian border with Romania . The village is located on the bank of the Tamiš River .
history
The place name itself goes back to Jozsef Surian (economist with a Hungarian count from Temesvár ), who allegedly founded the village. However, there are documents in Timişoara that prove that the village already existed in the Middle Ages. In 1940, today's Serbian Orthodox Ascension Church was built in the village.
Until 1945 there were also so-called Banat Germans . From 1868 to around 1948 the population was constant 700 to 800 people. There was always a primary school, a Serbian Orthodox Church and a Catholic prayer house in the village.
