history

In 1466 a settlement in the area of ​​today's Lovrin was first documented under the name Loránthalma . The place name Lovrin can be traced for the first time in 1701. In 1564 the place is mentioned as a private property of the Csanád bishop . Catholic Bulgarians settled in the settlement in 1740 , but after two years they moved to Old Beshenova . In 1747, through further immigration of Bulgarians, this place became a Bulgarian village under the name Lovrinac .

The first Germans settled between 1780 and 1784. At that time 60 German families moved from other Banat villages, i.e. through internal migration. In 1787 the first colonists came from the German Empire.

The Lovrin Roman Catholic Parish was founded in 1777. Today's Catholic Church was built in 1789. It was consecrated to St. Anthony of Padua. In 1829 Baron Liptay had the church renovated and expanded. Another renovation was carried out in 1969.

In 1792, Emperor Leopold II made Lovrin and Gottlob a present to General Anton Lipthay for his services in the fight against the Turks . General Liptay had a castle built here, which still bears his name today.

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 Lowrin 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 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 in Romania, deprived the rural population of their livelihoods. The Nationalization Act of June 11, 1948 provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, which expropriated all commercial enterprises, regardless of ethnicity.

Since the population along the Romanian-Yugoslav border was classified as a security risk by the Romanian government after the rift between Stalin and Tito and his exclusion from the Cominform alliance, on June 18, 1951, “politically unreliable elements” were deported to the Bărăgan- Steppe , 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.

Most Germans emigrated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Today Lovrin is a Romanian village.

Residents

In 1930, 234 Romanians , 138 Hungarians , 44 Slovaks , 43 Roma , 38 Serbs and 2 others lived in the village in addition to the 3,302 Germans . In 1977 there were still 1367 Germans among the 4255 villagers, 2618 Romanians, 130 Hungarians, 46 Roma, 41 Serbs and 53 others. Due to the emigration of the population of German origin after the revolution of 1989 , their share sank to 285 in 1992. In 2002 3560 people lived in the area of ​​the community. 3243 of them were Romanians, 120 Germans, 80 Roma, 71 Hungarians, 14 Serbs, 13 Bulgarians , 12 Ukrainians and six known themselves as Slovaks. In 2011 there were 2849 Romanians, 110 Roma, 76 Germans, 41 Hungarians, 13 Bulgarians, nine Ukrainians and seven Serbs. The remaining 118 inhabitants did not provide any information about their ethnicity.
