etymology

A settlement called Mora , also Mura , was first mentioned in a document in 1332. At the time of the Josephine land survey (1717) there were 30 houses in Morava in which Romanians and Serbs lived. The Moravica stream , which flows past the edge of the village ( Mora means water in Serbian), is the name given to the place name.

history

The place, inhabited by Romanians and Serbs, was settled in 1775 by the then President of the Banat regional administration Josef Brigido Freiherr von Bresowitz with Germans from Saarland, Trier, Lorraine and Swabia. Morawitz was a homely settlement. In 1790 the Romanians moved to the nearby Radovantz (today Dejan ). Morawitz was raised to the market in 1839. During this time, the place also received a military garrison, in an Lancers - squadron stationed.

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 Morawitza 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.

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, "politically unreliable elements" were deported to the Bărăgan on June 18, 1951 . 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.
