Reghin

Reghin (outdated Reghinul Săsesc or Regin ; German Sächsisch-Regen or Sächsisch-Reen , Hungarian Szászrégen ) is a town in the Mureș County in Transylvania , Romania . The nickname Oraşul Viorilor ("City of Violins") refers to the city's reputation as a leading center for musical instrument making in Romania, which is particularly known for the manufacture of violins.

location

Saxon rain is located in the northern part of the Mureș district, in the so-called Reener Ländchen , the capital of which the city was once, in the northern part of the Transylvanian Basin . On the right bank of the Mureş (Mieresch) , the Târgu Mureş – Gheorgheni railway and the DN15 national road , the place is 32 kilometers north of the district capital of Târgu Mureş . The city was initially built on a protected area on the right bank of the Mieresch at a fork in the river. The Rosengraben is a creek barely two kilometers long and divides the two parts of the city. It deepens and widens as soon as it reaches the outskirts, whose houses and gardens extend to its high bank. In some places the trench is seven meters deep and eight meters wide. In the lower part of its course it flattens out.

history

Early history

In the vicinity of the city, on an area called “Dealul bisericii” (Kirchberg) by the locals, finds date back to the Neolithic Age . Ceramic finds and pieces of jewelery, which were excavated in the suburbs of Batoș, Ideciu de Jos and Goreni, date from the Bronze Age . Finds recovered from Dedra from the Dacian-Roman period prove the settlement history at the beginning of the era. In the period of mass migration is settled population protected with Fliehburgen (saddle Castle and Spitz castle). In the 8th to 11th centuries the area came under the rule of Hungarian tribes and later became part of the Kingdom of Hungary .

First mention and attack by the Tatars

The place was mentioned for the first time in 1228 in a document from the Hungarian King Andreas II as "Regun". The first traces of German settlers ( hospites teutonici ) in the land of the Carpathian Arc date back to 1141. The still young city was completely destroyed in the first Tatar storm in 1241 ; more raids followed in 1285 and 1393. A place in the field hall and the oral tradition “Where the old Reen is buried” remind of the traumatic event of 1241.

The market town

Saxon rain ( Szasz Regen ) in the Josephinian land survey from 1769 to 1773.

In the Hungarian kingdom, the area around Saxon-Regen belonged to the manor of the Tomaj, a noble family who acquired the honorary title of royal stableman from 1222 to 1224 and provided a voivode of Transylvania from 1233 to 1235 . The local landlords provided parts of this family clan. Dionysus III. Tomaj became the progenitor of the Hungarian count families Losonoczi, Banffy-Losonoczi and Losonoczi-Dezsöfi. The respective landlord carried the title of Magister . In 1319, a division of the estate led to an inventory of the properties and rights of the Tomaj clan in the area around Sächsisch-Rege, including around 25 villages and extensive forest holdings. The seat of a deanery was established in the town as early as 1300 , and a collegiate monastery was founded in 1332 .

From 1437 the name form Regen ("oppidum Regen") appeared for the first time. As a market town, Saxon-Regen already formed the administrative center of the Reener Ländchen , to which the Nösnerland connects to the north . The strikingly large market square in the old town is interpreted as an indication of lively long-distance trading activity. Here, the location on the Mieresch River was an advantage, which is to be regarded as an important transport route even before the city was founded. Not far from the old town there was a safe ford at a fork in the Mieresch; a weir made the construction of grinding mills possible .

The economic basis of the place was the leather, tanning and furrier trade. The boot makers (Tschismenmacher) enjoyed the highest reputation. Craftsmen organized in guilds were also rope makers, cooper, joiners, wagons, locksmiths, blacksmiths, potters, tailors, comb makers, weavers, hat makers and butchers.

Fortifications

Sächsisch-Regen apparently did not have a city wall with bulwarks , defensive towers and gates. Only in the area around the church and the cemetery could a castle-like entrenchment be found. Another important fortification was the "Mentövar" castle, first mentioned around 1319, a refuge in the mountains near the neighboring town of Haseldorf. It goes back to an idea of Count Thomaj, who had the fortification built for the common good at his own expense.

In response to the increasing threat from external enemies after the Battle of Mohács (1526) , part of the fortifications around the Saxon church was gradually strengthened and a vigilante group was formed. The first practical test was the Szekler uprising , inflamed in 1562 , in which “the Jobagy Saxons umb Rhegen got away with great damage”.

Introduction of the Reformation

The parish of Sächsisch-Regen converted to Protestantism in 1551 with its pastor Josephus Kimpius . The privilege granted by Emperor Ferdinand I on October 31, 1553 , which granted the citizens of Regen extended autonomy and also established jurisdiction based on the model of the city of Bistritz , represented an important step on the way to town elevation . As Prince of Transylvania, Sigismund Báthory protected the now Protestant parish from attacks by Hungarian nobles and confirmed the validity of the old treaties and privileges. Saxon rain was not spared from city fires either; on March 13, 1636 a fire destroyed 64 houses.

The division (1646)

The twin settlement Regen was not divided until 1646: Hungarian-Regen ( Magyar-Régen ) was separated by order of Prince Rákóczis and placed under the county . Saxon rain retained its special position. The older part of the settlement is in Hungarian-Regen, as the high-medieval hall church built there is of Romanesque origin. The now Protestant St. Mary's Church is considerably younger, it was built in 1330; an inscription in the north wall proves the construction date.

Both districts were separated by a stream - the Rosengraben - that rises north of Saxon rain in the goat forest . However, due to its isolated location, the city was the target of attacks by the Tatars, in 1707 also the victim of an attack by Kuruzzen and for the last time in 1717 by Tatars .

The events of 1848/49

Around 1830 the unrest in the Hungarian political groups in Transylvania increased. The separation of the country from the Austrian Empire should be prepared. In the late autumn of the revolutionary year of 1848, the Reener Ländchen was also involved in the events. A military unit (about 1200 men) commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Urban was set in motion against the rebels. It took up position on the outskirts of Sächsisch-Regen and was reinforced by the municipal militia. On November 1, 1848, 10,000 insurgents advanced on the city; Parliamentarians demanded the handover of the city and a "ransom" of 50,000 guilders. Both were rejected. However, the defenders were aware of their inferiority and on the same day the city was surrendered almost without a fight. During the subsequent looting and burning of the city on the night of November 2, 1848, nine Saxon citizens were killed. Most of the residential buildings, workshops, churches and public buildings were looted and destroyed by the fire. In the summer of 1849 the uprising was finally put down with the help of tsarist troops , on July 21st, Russian units under the command of Lieutenant General Grotenhjelms passed the area around Saxon Regen. The city was still in ruins. In Stampich Beschken entrenched insurgents were after a two-hour battle defeated.

City charter (1863)

The formerly independent villages Hungarian-Regen and Sächsisch-Regen were raised to the market town of Szászrégen on March 10, 1863 by an imperial decree to the rank of city of the Kingdom of Hungary. The city rights were subordinated to the Sibiu High Court .

Economic development in the 19th century

City center

The destroyed city was rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. A travel writer reported as early as 1881: “ They rebuilt the Protestant church that was destroyed in the revolution. (...) In 1865 they converted their boys' school into a lower secondary school, which later became a secondary school . (...) Instead of the previous occupation of the residents with brandy distillery , there was now a lively timber trade. Rafts and boards ... bring them on the Maros to Arad or up to the Tisza and the Danube . “In 1885 the Sächsisch Regen- Neumarkt am Mieresch railway was put into operation and in 1908 the section to Deda was extended.

Development after 1918

The place, which had belonged to Hungary for centuries, fell to Romania after the First World War, and again to Hungary during the Second World War through the Second Vienna Arbitration . In the interwar period, the place was characterized by a lively art and cultural life. The contacts that also existed between the ethnic groups led to the formation of music and theater associations, singing and literary circles, sports clubs and hiking tourism determined the residents' leisure time. In 1924 the city had 160 trading companies, mostly owned by petty bourgeoisie. A hydropower plant was built as the basis for the technical development, and aviation pioneers built a field airfield on the outskirts of Mociar, which was bombed as a strategic target in 1944.

Under communist rule

After Romania's change of front in 1944, the German population (see Transylvanian Saxony ) fled westwards with the Wehrmacht, which was in retreat; only a part returned. After the end of the war, the city became Romanian again, and most of the Hungarian population stayed in their traditional homeland. A memorial plaque on the Saxon Church today commemorates the difficult fate of hundreds of deported citizens of the city who were arrested after the end of the war and deported to the Soviet Union as forced laborers, many of whom died abroad.

The Romanian Communist Party dominated the government after World War II and immediately directed its policies towards the development of a socialist state. As a result of the first administrative reforms, Reghin was assigned to the Mureș District. In Reghin, too, most of the businesses and businesses were nationalized, and the farmers experienced a collectivization of agriculture . In order to increase the proportion of the Romanian population group, new and comfortable residential areas have been built on the outskirts of the city since the 1960s. At the same time, the construction of further factories began - especially the wood processing industry; With foreign development aid, the most modern large brewery in Romania was built in the industrial park after 1970.

In the course of the 1980s the nationalistic course of the communist regime intensified again and in 1988 resulted in the emigration of 20,000 Hungarians from Romania. The newspapers, books and radio broadcasts appearing in Hungarian and German have been censored. The Romanian secret service Securitate penetrated all social classes and created a climate of fear and constant surveillance. In response to these political reprisals in the Ceaușescu era , Hungarian radio and television programs, which could be received in large parts of Transylvania, became the main source of news. Nationalistically motivated conflicts erupted in March 1990 in the area of the district town of Târgu Mureş (see Ethnic excesses of Târgu Mureş ).

As a result of the failed economic policy of the Ceaușescu government, the rationing of staple foods, mineral oil products and electrical energy had to be introduced. Rationing in the area of medical care was particularly critical. These poor working and living conditions under communist rule also led to a further reduction in the German population through emigration to West Germany . Today the Protestant parish, to which the German population traditionally belongs, consists of a little more than 200 members. It is remarkable that this parish, one of the youngest in the Protestant regional church, has an average age of around 35 years. After a long vacancy , a pastor was reinstated in the Protestant parish in 2010.

The 1907 census in Sächsisch Regen also determined the religious affiliation of the residents; there were 2646 Evangelicals (AB) , 1262 Roman Catholics , 1016 Greek Catholics , 48 Romanian Orthodox , 1096 Reformed and 449 Israelites living in the city . The Hungarians were Catholic or Reformed. The Roman Catholic parish was established in 1736 and its church was consecrated in 1781. The Reformed parish emerged from the mother parish in Hungarian Regen, and its first church was built in 1889. The majority of Romanians belonged to the Greek Catholic Church; In 1811 the first Greek Catholic church was built. The synagogue of the Israelitische Kultusgemeinde von Sächsisch-Regen was built in 1866, the prayer community was established around 1850.

According to an official survey carried out in 2002, the city had 36,126 inhabitants that year. The population consisted of 23,611 Romanians, 10,396 Hungarians, 237 Germans, 1,831 Roma and 51 members of other ethnic groups. The religious structure shows 22,283 Romanian Orthodox, 1851 Greek Catholics, 3,550 Roman Catholics and 209 Evangelical believers, 1,045 residents confessed to other denominations.

Culture

The Reener dialect

The Saxon-Regen population spoke their own dialect of Transylvanian-Saxon , which was documented as the Reen dialect . This dialect is very similar to the Moselle-Franconian Platt, which is still spoken in the Eifel and Luxembourg today. The Eifel area with Luxembourg is in many respects a dialect retreat area, whose dialect characteristics also applied in the high Middle Ages, i.e. at the time of the migration of the Rhinelander to Transylvania, in the Rhine Valley and partly in the entire Rhineland. Fluent conversations on Eifeler Platt and the Transylvanian dialect are still possible today without any problems. However, the number of active speakers is falling.

A dialect poet from Reen was Johann Karl Rösler (1861–1944).

(Loosely translated: From the good old days
When I think back to my childhood, then these thoughts are connected to the “good old days.” That was the good old days when the citizens still had time - sometimes even on a weekday - To stand in front of the "Städtische" or the trade association, smoke a cigar, talk about the business, talk to passers-by and laugh at a good joke that shook the market, where you had time and inclination and hosted a cozy forest festival on a “neighborhood day” in the goat forest, where there was wood meat (roast), goulash, harlequin and yeast cakes and not to forget a good drop.)
