Hosman ( German wood quantities , Hungarian Holcmány ) is a village in the Sibiu district in Transylvania , Romania . It is part of the parish of Nocrich ; had 790 inhabitants in 2006.
location
Hosman is located in the Harbachtal ( Romanian Valea Hârtibaciului , Hungarian Hortobágy völgye ) on the county road (Drum județean) DJ 106 about 25 kilometers east of Hermannstadt (Sibiu).
history
The place was first mentioned in 1381 as a wooden menia . He was in 1449 by Vlad III. Drăculea destroyed and deserted. Around 1500 he was listed among the communities of the Leschkircher Stuhl with 15 hosts, a shepherd and a schoolmaster. During the Kuruc Wars from 1703 to 1711, only 15 of 400 landlords remained. The commassing was carried out in quantities of wood in 1895.
With the narrow-gauge railway between Sibiu and Agnetheln , opened in 1910 , wood quantities received its own station. Operation on the railway called Wusch was discontinued in autumn 2001.
The place is characterized by its fortified church of the evangelical community. The style elements of the inner basilica suggest that it was first built around 1275. In the 18th century it was converted into a baroque hall church , and in 1794 the side aisles were removed; At the same time, the west portal with its so-called polychrome tympanum was obviously exposed again. There are numerous reliefs on it (e.g. St. Peter and St. Paul ). The original castle consisted of two seven-meter high circular walls with loopholes and six towers. The inner ring wall belt forms a perfect oval, while the outer one surrounds it as an irregular square. The imposing portcullis made of wooden planks is remarkable; there is also a relief on the west wall of the tower next to the four-pass window, which depicts two people (the depiction of Adam and Eve or the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist are assumed). The fortified church was restored in 1994/1995. A youth meeting center was set up in the former rectory next to the castle.
The Elijah association of Father Georg Sporschill has been active in Hosman since 2012 . He has opened a social center for the Roma families living on the outskirts and runs several training and teaching projects in the village, the aim of which is to integrate the Roma in the long term.

religion
The denomination with the largest number of members in the place is now the Romanian Orthodox community, which celebrates its services in the southern of the two Gemini churches (the smaller, northern one, was originally Greek Catholic ).
The evangelical congregation of the Augsburg Confession , by far the largest in the village for centuries, had around 260 members at the beginning of 1990, six in 2004, fifteen in 2005 and five in 2009.
In the middle of the 19th century, a Roman Catholic church was built in the center of the village, with an adjoining house for Ursulines and the priest . This Catholic community consisted of Transylvanian Saxons , which is unusual for the rural area of Transylvania. After the Second World War , however, the pastorate was given up again; the church was only used occasionally until the late 1980s. Since the end of the war, the Catholic families have increasingly participated in the community life of the Protestant community and have been integrated here.
Since 2006, eight people from the Hungarian-speaking Evangelical Lutheran Church in Romania or its parish Săcădate have formed another parish in the village.
A free-church , charismatic congregation built its church at the entrance to the village in 2004; there are also some Seventh-day Adventist members .
