Rauthal (Romanian Roandola , Hungarian Rudály ) is a village in Sibiu County ( Romania ). It is part of the Laslea municipality .
location
Rauthal is located in the middle of Transylvania , in a southern side valley of the river Târnava Mare ( Great Kokel ). The city of Sighișoara ( Schässburg ) is located about 15 kilometers northeast.
Surname
In addition to the German officially used form of name Rauthal , the names Rennenthal , Rennthal and Rondeln are also documented. The Hungarian name Rudály (sometimes with the prefix Szasz- (= " Saxon- ")) is derived from the German. The same applies to the Romanian names Roandala , Roandela and Rudeiu .
Due to a spelling mistake on the Roandolas place-name sign, which has not been corrected for years, the name Rondola is also very common, especially among the inhabitants.
history
Rauthal was first mentioned in a document in 1322. It belonged to the property of the Hungarian noble family Apafi, who lived in nearby Malmkrog , and was outside the royal soil . Its residents - mostly Transylvanian Saxons - were therefore servants . The place was founded from Malmkrog between 1305 and 1322. Together with Malmkrog, Kreisch, Peschendorf, Felsendorf and Neudorf, Rauthal was owned by the noble families Apafi and Bethlen and formed a unit with these places. Before the state parliament, the noble owners Magister Myegus and Comes Jakob complained that the Count of Kolenberg wanted to bring the above-mentioned communities under his jurisdiction. After the place belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , the Principality of Transylvania and Austria-Hungary until the end of the First World War , it has been part of the state of Romania since then.
population
For a long time, Rauthal was mainly inhabited by Transylvanian Saxons. In 1786 there were 393 registered residents. The 1850 census recorded 419 inhabitants, including 304 Germans, 69 Romanians and 46 Gypsies . Since the peak in 1941 (636 inhabitants) the population has decreased significantly. The main reason was the emigration of many German residents to the Federal Republic of Germany after the Second World War, but especially after the Romanian revolution of 1989. In 2002, 142 of the 215 residents of the village identified themselves as Romanians, 39 as Gypsies and 25 as Germans , eight as Hungarians and one as Ukrainian .
traffic
Rauthal is away from major traffic routes; public transport does not touch the place (as of 2008). The nearest train station is about 10 kilometers away on the Teiuș – Brașov railway line (Luna stop).
Attractions
The hall church used by the Evangelical Church was built in the first half of the 16th century. The originally existing curtain wall was - apart from a tower that now bears a bell - torn down in the 19th century.
