Ceanu Mare ( Hungarian Mezőcsán ) is a municipality in the Cluj County in the Transylvania region in Romania .

The place is also known by the Hungarian names Mezőnagycsán and Csán .

Geographical location

Location of the municipality of Ceanu Mare in the Cluj district

The municipality of Cătina is located in the Transylvanian Basin in the valley of the Valea Largă river - a tributary of the Arieș . In the southeast of the district Cluj at the county road (Drum Judeţean) DJ 161A, the community center is located about 25 kilometers northeast of the city of Turda (Thornburg) and about 40 kilometers southeast of the county seat, Cluj-Napoca (Cluj) away.

history

The place Ceanu Mare was first mentioned in a document in 1293. According to J. Téglás , archaeological finds on the area of ​​the incorporated village of Boian (ung. Mezőbő ) indicate settlement in Roman times .

The place gained a certain prominence when the then German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder wanted to visit the grave of his father, Corporal Fritz Schröder, on September 18, 2001 . He fell on October 4, 1944 at the age of 32 near the city of Turda (Thorenburg) . Due to the events of September 11, 2001 (attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon ), the visit was canceled. During his state visit on August 12, 2004, Gerhard Schröder, accompanied by Romanian President Ion Iliescu, made up a visit to the village cemetery, where eight other soldiers are also buried.

Social

The main problem in the village is the lack of running water. After the state visit, however, a solution is emerging. Ion Iliescu (after being approached by Schröder about the costs of the project) instructed the responsible authorities to “take care of the problem”.

population

The population of the municipality developed as follows:
