Village

Dedrad (Ger. German Zepling , ung. Dedrád ) is a village in northern Transylvania ( Romania ) in the so-called Reener Ländchen .

geography

The village is located in the north of the Mureș district, on the road from Reghin ( Saxon rain ) to Bistrița ( Bistritz ) on the Luț , a tributary of the Mureș ( Mieresch ).

history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1319.

As in the other originally Transylvanian-Saxon communities in Northern Transylvania , the German-speaking population in Deutsch-Zepling fell drastically immediately after the Second World War .

At the beginning of the 1940s, the Romanian and German-speaking portions of the population were still in balance. Due to resettlement and flight to Germany and Austria , Romanians, 400 Transylvanian Saxons, 89 Hungarians and 57 Roma lived in the village in the mid-1960s.

Today the village is administratively incorporated into the large municipality of Batoș ( Botsch ).
