etymology

On September 16, 1812, Emperor Franz I issued a charter, according to which the colony was given the name of Royal Gnad . Until then, various names were in circulation, such as B. Tirol , Tiroler Dorf , Neu-Tirol , Tiroler Treue and Tyrol . The name Royal Gnad was retained until 1888. In the course of the Magyarization , the royal grace became Királykegye . After the First World War , the place came to Romania and since then (1927) has been officially known as Tyrol. According to the law of minorities in Romania passed in 2001, the place name sign also includes the original name of King's Gnad.

history

During the Tyrolean struggle for freedom in 1809, many Tyroleans fled to Vienna . For political and economic reasons she wanted to deport Emperor Franz I to the Hungarian half of the empire. Josef Speckbacher , a leader in the Tyrolean struggle for freedom, was commissioned in May 1810 to “lead the Tyrolean refugees to southern Hungary and establish a new colony for them”. Together with the Tyrolean Franz Thalguter, he selected a settlement plot in the area of Fizeș and Doclin .

As early as 1813, many settlers had left royal grace due to the poor harvest. The remaining residents left the place in 1818 together with pastor Johann Matheus Stuefer and moved to the Josefstadt in Timisoara . The street that was settled was named "Tiroler Gasse", today Strada Ciprian Porumbescu . So the camera administration decided to bring new settlers to Köngisgnad. As early as 1814 families came from Dognatschka , Steierdorf , Jahrmarkt , Nitzkydorf , Moritzfeld , Timisoara, Werschetz , Zichydorf etc. In 1817 a group of Württembergers followed . In 1823 other settlers came from Bavaria , Bohemia , Moravia , Austria , Silesia and in 1828 numerous Kraschowans ( Croatian and Bulgarian descent) from Karasch County .

After the iron curtain was opened , the farmers were given land as property again (back). Residents who had not left the country for Germany were helped with substantial donations in kind from Germany and Austria. Until about 2005 there was still German lessons in the school. Therefore, some of the residents still speak German.
