Nova Pazova ( Serbian - Cyrillic Нова Пазова; Hungarian Újpázova; German Neu-Pasua ) is a village in Okrug Srem between Stara Pazova and Batajnica , 25 km west of Belgrade on the Belgrade - Novi Sad route . It has about 25,000 inhabitants and is located in the Belgrade metropolitan area in Serbia .

history

New Serbian Orthodox Church under construction

Nova Pazova was laid out in 1791 by the Austrian court as a new pasua for Protestant Danube Swabians in a marsh area of ​​the Danube floodplains . At that time only limited areas were available for settlement. The community grew from 51 settler families (including from Benningen am Neckar , Marbach am Neckar , Schopfheim , Schorndorf , Tübingen , Bulkes (Serbian Maglić, in the Batschka ), from the Electoral Palatinate and from Hesse ) to over 6,000 residents by 1944 mainly in agriculture (maize, potatoes, grain, hemp, pig breeding and poultry breeding) and the related handicrafts. In the first decades the settlers had to do guard duty as border guards in the area of ​​the Habsburg military border .

Several daughter settlements (including Franzjosefsfeld, Königsfeld, Georgshof, Ciganka, Sopjanska Ada) and neighboring communities (e.g. Bežanija , Bečmen , Dobanovci , Surčin ) grew through immigrants from Neu-Pasua. The Protestant church was an essential factor in the integration of the almost entirely Danube Swabian community .

On October 6, 1944, the residents of the community had to flee to Upper Austria by horse and cart before the advancing front . Most of the refugees moved to Germany (especially to Baden-Württemberg ) in the following years . The city of Reutlingen has taken on the sponsorship for the Neu-Pasuaer. There is also a local museum here. For today's Serbian residents, Nova Pazova has become a rural suburb with a Beovoz stop .

economy

The economy of Nova Pazova was originally shaped by agriculture. A significant industrial area, one of the largest in Srem , is being developed on the northwest outskirts. The location south of the Belgrade-Novi Sad motorway ( European route 75 ) and on the railway corridor X with a stop for international train connections and the terminus of line 1 of the Beovoz city ​​railway connections to Belgrade favors the settlement of processing companies. The administrative border of the Belgrade agglomeration officially ends in the neighboring town of Batajnica .

At the south-western end of Nova Pazova is the Batajnica air base of the Serbian Air Force , due to its large extent, the agricultural areas in Nova Pazova are of little importance for the residents.

The location on the old Novi Sader Street (M22 / 1) was important for the transport connections to Nova Pazova.

Demographics

Although Nova Pazova belongs to the municipality of Stara Pazova, the place shows a more dynamic population growth today. This has to do with its proximity to the metropolitan area of ​​Belgrade.
