Moacşa [ ˈmoakʃa ] (outdated Macşa or Mocşa ; Hungarian Maksa ) is a municipality in Covasna County , in the Transylvania region in Romania .
Geographical location
The municipality of Moacșa is located in the Kronstadt Depression (Depresiunea Brașovului) , in the southern foothills of the Bodoc Mountains (Munții Bodoc) - a part of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains . In the historical Szeklerland region in Covasna County, Moacşa is located on the Pădureni brook , a right tributary of the Râul Negru (Schwarzbach) , on the DN11 national road and the Brașov – Sfântu Gheorghe – Târgu Secuiesc railway , 15 kilometers east of the district capital Sfântu Gheorghe (Sankt Georgen) away.
history
The place Moacșa, mostly inhabited by Szeklern people, was first mentioned in a document in 1332. Two kilometers north of the town of Moacşa between the Ciubot and Nadaş streams , on the area called Vereşmort ( Veresmart in Hungarian ) by the locals , archaeological finds indicate that the town was settled in Roman times . The two round eight-meter-high earth walls with a circumference of 80 and 50 meters next to the Beșineu brook have not yet been assigned to an era. According to the register of historical monuments of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Ministerul Culturii și Patrimoniului Național) in Moacșa near La Fântâna cu linte ( Lencsékút ⊙ in Hungarian ) a settlement in the Neolithic is noted. Here a 7 x 5 meter hut and a 1 x 1.20 m and 0.50 m high oven dug into the ground were found.
In the area of the incorporated village of Pădureni (Beschendorf) , on the areas known by the locals as Bobâlna (Hungarian Bábolna ) and Teleacul Mic (Hungarian Kistekelek ), finds indicate settlement in the Neolithic and Vârful lui Cente are found according to information from G Téglás of a Roman military camp noted. Numerous archaeological finds in the area of the village were the Neolithic, the Bronze Age , the Roman Age and many could not be assigned to any era. Most of the finds are in the museum in Sfântu Gheorghe.
At the time of the Kingdom of Hungary Moacşa belonged to the Kézdi chair district in the Háromszék County ( Romanian Comitatul Trei-Scaune ), then to the historical Trei-Scaune district (German three chairs ) and from 1950 to the present Covasna district.
When Dalnic was detached from what was then Moacşa in early 2004 , Moacşa and Pădureni became an independent community.
