etymology

The first documentary mention of the place Bagd comes from the year 1436. In the following time two places Felse Baagd ( Romanian Bogda de Sus ) and Alsö Baagd ( Romanian Bogda de Jos ) appeared, which however merged in 1476 under the name Bagd . On the Mercy map of 1723 the place was noted under the name Bogdan . When Germans were settled in 1771, the place was named Neuhoff , later Neuhof . The landlord Anton Nägele caused the renaming to Bogdarigós . The spa was later known under this name.

history

In the 14th century there was no compact settlement in the area of ​​today's Bogda, only isolated huts. In the years 1770 to 1771 founded Carl Samuel Neumann Edler von Buchholt by the settlement of 32 families from the German Reich the place Neuhoff . The settlers came from Baden-Württemberg , Bavaria , Saxony , Lorraine and Hesse . The German name goes back to the administrative councilor Franz Xaver Robias Johann Ratsch Edler von Neuhoff .

Due to the political situation, the administration changed several times over the years:

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the law for the Magyarization of place names (Ga. 4/1898) was applied. The official place name was Bogdarigós . The Hungarian place names remained valid in the Kingdom of Romania until the administrative reform of 1923 when the Romanian place names were introduced.

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts , whereby Bogda fell to the Kingdom of Romania .

As a result of the Waffen-SS Agreement of May 12, 1943 between the Antonescu government and Hitler's Germany , all men of German origin who were conscripted into the German army. The Germans from Romania had to pay for this after Romania switched sides on August 23, 1944. Before the end of the war, in January 1945, all ethnic German women between the ages of 18 and 30 and men between the ages of 16 and 45 were deported to the Soviet Union for reconstruction work .

The Land Reform Act of March 23, 1945 , which provided for the expropriation of German farmers in Romania, deprived the rural population of their livelihoods. The expropriated land was distributed to smallholders, farm workers and colonists from other parts of the country.

The nationalization law of June 11, 1948 , which provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, resulted in the expropriation of all commercial enterprises. The collectivization of agriculture was initiated in the early 1950s .

tourism

Landlord Anton Nägele founded the Bogdarigós spa, which was especially valued by Timisoara and New Arad guests for its health-promoting medicinal water for cure and relaxation. In the spa there was a chapel and a way of the cross , where the feast of St. Anne (the so-called Rigoschfest ) was celebrated annually on July 26th . After the expropriation in 1948, the spa was converted into a pioneer camp. The chapel and the Way of the Cross were closed. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989 , Bogda gradually turned into a popular resort.
