history
Dejan was rebuilt on the site of the former Serbian village Radovanz, which was completely destroyed during the Turkish wars. On the Josephine land survey of 1717, the place is registered with 20 houses. After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . On the Mercy map from 1723 the place is inhabited by Romanians and has an Orthodox church. The Romanians should leave the place, however, and settle in Mramorak in the Serbian Banat.
In 1786 the imperial provincial administrator Josef Deschan (De Jean) settled Romanians and Serbs here. The village was named after him. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . In 1821 Hungarians came to Dejan for the first time. In 1829, Hungarians again settled in Dejan. From this point on, the Hungarians were in the majority in the village.
The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts, whereby Dejan fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Dejan has always been a mixed Romanian-Serbian-Hungarian village.
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 without compensation, as former members of the German ethnic group in Romania , deprived the rural population of their livelihood. At the same time, the houses of the Germans were also expropriated without compensation. Land and farmhouses were 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. In the early 1950s, the collectivization of agriculture took place.
Since the population along the Romanian-Yugoslav border was classified as a security risk by the Romanian government after Stalin's rift with Tito and his exclusion from the Cominform alliance, they were deported to the Bărăgan steppe on June 18, 1951, regardless of ethnicity . At the same time, the Romanian leadership aimed to break the resistance against the impending collectivization of agriculture. When the Bărăgan abductees returned home in 1956, the houses and farms expropriated in 1945 were returned to them. However, the field ownership was collectivized.
