history

The village inhabited by Serbs was also settled by Germans in 1785. In 1795 the entire estate became the property of the Gyertyanffy family, after whom the village was named. The Gyertyanffy family manor, called Gieras Kastell by the inhabitants , was later the LPG headquarters. The villages of Grăniceri and Toager belong to the municipality of Giera. Ecclesiastically, Giera was a branch of the Catholic parish Ofsenița in the 19th century .

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Giera also belonged, fell to 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. Before the end of the war, in January 1945, all women of German origin between the ages of 18 and 30 and men between 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.

On June 18, 1951, the deportation to the Bărăgan steppe took place regardless of ethnicity. To this end, the Romanian government drafted a plan to cleanse the border area with Yugoslavia "from politically unreliable elements". When the Bărăgan displaced people returned home in 1956, they got back the houses and farms that had been expropriated in 1945, but the land ownership was collectivized .
