The Timișoara Hunting Forest ( Romanian Pădurea Verde Timișoara ) is a closed forest area on the northeastern city limits of Timișoara in the Timiș County in Romania . A large part of its area of 737 hectares lies on the boundary of the neighboring municipality Dumbrăvița . The hunting forest was first mapped in 1732 and initially used exclusively for hunting purposes by the Banat Governor Claudius Florimund Mercy . Designated as a public hunting area since 1860 , a number of leisure , sport , health , educational and cultural facilities can be found in the hunting forest .
history
In 1732, Count Mercy's hunting lodge was built according to a design by the Timisoara city architect László Székely and was first mapped out. At first the hunting forest was used exclusively by Count Mercy for hunting purposes. It was not until the civil administration was established in 1751 that the hunting forest was accessible to all high officers in the city. and in 1860 it was released as a public hunting ground. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, the forest was temporarily called Vadászerdő , according to the Hungarian translation of hunting forest, until the Banat was annexed to Romania in 1919 . The forest school founded in 1885 still exists today under the name "Colegiul Silvic Casa Verde". In the 19th century, the hunting forest extended beyond what is now Dumbrăviţa.
At the end of the 19th century the hunting forest came into the possession of a Hungarian landowner who cleared part of the forest and established a village that was initially also called Vadászerdő. The place was later renamed "Újszentes", today it is called Dumbrăvița. From 1919 the hunting forest was a royal hunting ground. In 1954 the Romanian state made 150 hectares available to the city.
The hunting forest has become increasingly important, especially in the last two decades, as the green lung of the city but also as the most important recreational and leisure center in Timisoara. Today it is next to the Kewerescher Wald (1611 hectares), the only forest that has been preserved near the city. Until 1910 there was still the "Csokaer forest" (1492 yoke ) following the district of Mehala .
The Timisoara city council is currently planning to swap the state area of the hunting forest with a piece of forest of 700 hectares near Criciova , in order to bring the entire area of the hunting forest into the city's possession and to enable large-scale city projects in the future, such as the expansion of the zoo .
Banat Village Museum
The Banat Village Museum was founded in 1928 on the initiative of the art historian "Ioachim Miloia". In 1967 the village museum received a 17.47 hectare area in the hunting forest. In the Banat Village Museum, the characteristics of traditional civilization and culture in western Romania can be explored. Typical Romanian houses as well as houses of the minorities are exhibited. On the initiative of the Association of Former Deportees in the Bărăgan Steppe , a deportation house was faithfully reconstructed. The Banat Village Museum hosts numerous cultural events that take place on the open-air stage in the area of the open- air museum .
Zoo
The zoo in the hunting forest (Romanian: Grădină Zoologică “Pădurea Verde” ) was opened in 1986 and at that time housed 30 native animals. A modernization plan was drawn up in 2004 in partnership with the Szeged City Zoo . Between 2005 and 2007 the zoo in Timisoara was completely redesigned and expanded according to European standards. The first work was on the infrastructure; new avenues and paths as well as new parking lots were created, the entire zoo was equipped with surveillance cameras to observe the behavior of the animals. 16 habitats with a total of 144 animals belonging to 29 species were set up on an area of 6.36 hectares , as well as a petting zoo for children. The zoo reopened on June 1st, 2007.
Forest school

The school had 1230 yoke forest, 24 yoke arboretum and 26 yoke tree nursery available. She had a beekeeping , a weather station and a research laboratory . Since 2011, the forest school in the Jagdwald has been officially called "Colegiul Silvic Casa Verde" (German: Forest School Green House ).
