etymology

When it was founded, the place was named after Anton von König , state trainee for Empress Maria Theresa , royal court . In the course of the Magyarization , the village received the official name Németremete towards the end of the 19th century . After joining Romania, the official name became Remetea Germană and later Remetea Mică .

history

A place called Remethe is mentioned in the documents as early as 1332. In 1773, the villages of Königshof and Greifenthal were laid out with German settlers on the ruins of Remethe, which was destroyed by the Turks. Königshof had 30 houses when it was founded. In 1783 the inhabitants of Greifenthal were relocated to the royal court due to ongoing attacks by the Romanian population from Fibiș. The population of Königshof was now 600 inhabitants. The number of the German population increased later due to internal migration. Massive immigration took place in 1908 and in the years 1936–1938.

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, which also included the royal court, fell to the Kingdom of 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 expropriated land was distributed to smallholders, farm workers and colonists from other parts of the country. The collectivization of agriculture was initiated in the early 1950s .

administration

Until 1779 the royal court was part of the imperial crown land Banat. Between 1779–1849 and 1867–1918 it was part of the Kingdom of Hungary . From 1849–1867 the royal court belonged to the Voivodeship of Serbia and Temescher Banat . From 1918 to 1947 it was part of the Kingdom of Romania, in the period 1948–1965 it belonged to the People's Republic of Romania , 1965–1989 to the Socialist Republic of Romania and since 1990 to Romania .

Demographics

In 1783, 600 people lived in the newly founded town. In 1910, with a population of 750, there were 17 Hungarians, 694 Germans and 39 Romanians. 704 of them were Roman Catholic , 8 Protestant and 38 Greek Orthodox . After the Second World War, there has been a steady decline in the total population of Remetea Mică. Above all, however, the number of German residents decreased due to emigration.
