Cenade ( German  Scholten , Hungarian Szászcsanád or Csanád ) is a Romanian community in the Alba district in Transylvania .

Geographical location

Location of the municipality of Cenade in the Alba district

Cenade is located in the east of the Alba district and the Zekesch Highlands ( Podișul Secașelor ) in the southwest of the Transylvanian Basin , in a southern side valley of the Târnava Mare ( Great Kokel ), about 5 kilometers away . The district capital Alba Iulia is located approx. 35 kilometers to the west (as the crow flies).

history

The village of Cenade (outdated Cinade ) was first mentioned in 1311 and was a village of the Transylvanian Saxons . However, it was not on royal soil , but on county soil , so it was inhabited by serfs . Initially, Scholten belonged to the Cistercian Abbey of Egresch in today's Banat . In the 15th century, after the monastery was dissolved, it became the diocese of Csanád , and in 1552 it passed to the canons in Weißenburg . In the middle of the 17th century the place came into aristocratic possession and remained so until the revolution in 1848. At that time, Scholten had the third largest arable land in the Transylvanian region after Ocna Sibiului ( Salzburg ) and Slimnic ( Stolzenburg ).

Since the Second World War , especially after the 1989 revolution , almost all Transylvanian Saxons emigrated. The population lives mainly from agriculture and animal husbandry.

population

The population developed as follows:

census Ethnic composition
year Total population Romanians Hungary German other
1850 1,423 743 39 463 178
1941 2,400 1,441 46 756 157
1977 1,534 1,191 10 333 -
2002 1,015 889 8th 59 59

As early as the 1850 census, the Romanians made up the majority of the population. Since the Second World War the number of inhabitants has decreased significantly, which is mainly due to the emigration of the Transylvanian Saxons, but also to the departure of Romanians.

The German population lived almost exclusively in Cenade itself, but not in the villages that are now incorporated.

In the incorporated villages of Capu Dealului and Gorgan, a census was not recorded separately until 1956. In 1966, 96 (including 15 Germans) lived in Capu Dealului and 50 people in Gorgan. In 2002 only 3 or 7 residents (exclusively Romanians) were registered here.

Attractions

  • Evangelical hall church, completed in 1407, expanded after 1500. An old organ was replaced by the current one by Otto Rieger in 1917 and is a listed building.
