Eichenthal has always been surrounded by Romanian towns. The only German community Ebendorf ( Romanian Ştiuca , Hungarian Csukas ), to whose parish and parish Eichenthal belonged, is about ten kilometers west of Eichenthal.

The municipality Sacu ( German  Sakul ), to which Eichenthal belongs administratively, was also an important neighboring village . The train stop in the direction of Caransebeş and Lugoj is located in the Romanian village five kilometers away .

Place name

  • The oak gave Eichenthal its name in 1894

  • The oak, the landmark of Eichenthal

  • The road towards Eichenthal was paved in 2009

When the first German settlers arrived in the valley of the small river Vâna ( German  Wuna ) in 1894 , they found a dense oak forest. The newcomers first had to free the area allocated by the Austro-Hungarian monarchy with the help of neighbors from the nearby village of Sălbăgel ( German  Silwaschel , Hungarian Silvaszhely ) from the ancient oaks. Then they built the first clay houses for their families and called their settlement from then on "Eichenthal".

Unofficially, the village was called from 1894 to 1905 "Szilvashelytelep" in reference to the Romanian neighboring village Sălbăgel. The Romanian neighbors called the new settlement Satu-Nou ( German  Neudorf ).

Eichenthal belonged administratively together with Silwaschel to the municipality Sacu. For three years the Eichenthalers fought unsuccessfully - even as far as Budapest - over a suitable name for their village. In order to be able to become an independent municipality, they finally accepted the village name "Gyulatelep" on October 10, 1908. This designation was based on the name of the wealthy lawyer Gyula Rosenthal , who supported the village intensively in financial, legal and personal terms.

So Eichenthal was officially called "Gyulatelep" until 1925 and only after the First World War , after the Banat was annexed to Romania, the village was given the name "Sălbăgelu Nou". However, the name "Eichenthal" has established itself among the German population.

The landmark of Eichenthal is an old oak that has been the only one left by the wayside for centuries, northeast halfway between Sacu and Eichenthal. It is a remnant of the mighty oak forest that once gave the village of " Eichenthal " its name.

After the valley had been cleared and the ancient and deeply rooted oak blocks removed in months of hard work, the settlers were able to build the first houses there.

A lightning strike eroded the old oak tree in the late 1950s.

history

The village of Eichenthal cannot look back on a very long past, because more than 120 years ago there was only an old oak forest. The settlement of the area was decided by the Hungarian court chancellery and court chamber of the Habsburg monarchy .

The first German settlers came from the surrounding villages of the Banat as early as autumn 1894 . The village was created by internal migration. They came to Eichenthal for various reasons. The decisive factor, however, were tempting promises for the cheap acquisition of land.

Another reason was the inability of many cities, despite economic and commercial progress, to take on surplus labor, so that many young families were forced to move back to the countryside, where many farms had meanwhile become vacant through emigration and could now be re-occupied . So new "inland settlements" arose with settlers from surrounding villages, such as B. Deutsch-Stamora (1802), Alexanderhausen (1833) and also Eichenthal (1894).

Most of the settlers came to Eichenthal in autumn 1894 from Lazarfeld (38), Setschan (20), Kleck (16), Franzfeld (10), Sartscha (8), Ernsthausen (6) and Stefansfeld (4). These settlements were in what is now Serbia and were founded in 1790-1835 by colonists from the Banat who had fled across the Marosch because of the Turkish wars .

Other settlers came to Eichenthal with their families from Großjetscha (16), Kleinjetscha (4), Rudolfsgnad (4), then 2 immigrants from Tschene , Ujfalu , Jarkowatz , Etschka , Johannisfeld , Sackelhausen , Deta , Tschawosch , Szöreg , Apátfalva , Medves , Ujwar , Tschanad , Ofsenitz , Nitzkydorf , Bakowa , Mramorak , Csősztelek , Wetschehausen , Karlsdorf , Sigmundhausen , Rekasch , Josefsdorf ; then one settler each from Fodorhausen , Ebendorf and Hatzfeld .

Until 1925 Eichenthal was administered by a village mayor. Judges and notaries were in the commune of Sacu , 5 kilometers away , while questions about the land register, court, military service and finances were dealt with in the district town of Lugoj , later in Reșița . In the village itself there was a judge who made the news known as a drummer in the village. It was also the task of the village magistrate to close the two bells on the belfry every day for meals (at 6 a.m., at noon at 12 p.m., in the evening at 6 p.m. also for daily evening prayer) and for various occasions, such as church services, death, the start of classes, and fire alarms ring.

Banat Swabian has been spoken in Eichenthal since the Germans settled here. This dialect initially had various local nuances, depending on the place of origin of the immigrants. After almost thirty years, the dialect of the innkeeper Adam Rettinger from Setschan prevailed. And that, thanks to the frequent use of his inn, where people often met and exchanged news. The few Bohemian families who moved here after the First World War spoke their own dialect at home and with friends, only the younger ones quickly adopted the “Banat Swabian” dialect of the Eichenthalers as the colloquial language in the village. The official language, however, was Hungarian , but only as long as Eichenthal belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Banat . The pressure of Magyarization grew so that in 1909 the Hungarian language was introduced as the language of instruction in the village school.

It was only after the First World War, when the Banat was annexed to Romania, that the Eichenthalers began to look more and more for their national and ethnic identity. In 1923 about 25 children from Baden-Württemberg spent their summer holidays in Eichenthal at the invitation of the village. German associations and cultural groups were founded. Romania stood on Germany's side as an ally until August 23, 1944. Many young Eichenthalers were trained in the German army and older Eichenthalers switched from the Romanian to the German army after the agreement with Berlin. In the years 1941 to 1945, 92 Eichenthal men took part in the Second World War as soldiers under German-Romanian command. 25 Eichenthalers died in the war or went missing.

After the end of the war, as early as autumn 1945, 57 ethnic German women and men from Eichenthal aged 17 and over were exiled to Russia for 5 years of forced labor in order to rebuild the Soviet victorious state for reparations in coal mines, quarries, railway line, road and tunnel construction work Caucasian Donbass region, in the Gulag of Siberia or in the extreme icy north. Of the 57 Eichenthalers deported to the Soviet Union, 13 died, either there in Soviet exile or shortly after their return, as a direct result of this exile. Immediately after the war ended, there were looting, assaults and rape by Soviet soldiers. Entire families were imprisoned, and villagers were put in Romanian warring camps.

From 1950 onwards, communist peasant fronts were founded and the German population of the village attempted to assimilate them. The land reform of 1945 led to the expropriation of property, house and fields of the Eichenthalers. High levies and taxes led to the forced sale of farmland. The large farmers ( Chiaburi in Romanian ) were intimidated, some of them tortured and urged to join the newly founded Eichenthal agricultural production cooperative.

There was a German elementary school in Eichenthal, German-language cultural events (German choir, brass band, dance groups), German Catholic worship, and German church feasts. In 1960 the first families began to leave the village of Eichenthal and to look for new homes in Timișoara , Reșița , Caransebeș , Lugoj and larger German Banat villages. The first people from Eichenthal moved to Germany in the early 1970s, some of them even earlier. Other Eichenthalers emigrated to America. Today the Eichenthalers are scattered all over the world. In Germany they met every two years until 2010 in the Bavarian town of Asbach-Bäumenheim , where many Eichenthalers have settled since they emigrated from Romania.

From 1980 Ruthenians came from Maramures and bought the empty houses of the emigrated Germans. In 1993 there were already 200 Ruthenians living in Eichenthal.

There were major declines in the number of inhabitants not only during or shortly after the two world wars, but mainly in the first 25-30 years of settlement in the village.

The greatest increases occurred after the First World War, when 85 Sudeten German Bohemians immigrated from villages in the Banat Uplands . They came from Wolfsberg , Weidenthal , Slatina , Sadowa and Lindenfeld . Originally the German Bohemians came from the Bohemian Forest , Upper Palatinate , Bohemia, Moravia , Slovakia and settled 1827-1828 as forest farmers in the Banat mountains south of Reșița at the foot of the Semenic Mountains .

Villagescape

  • Settlers' house in Hinteren Gasse

  • Belfry

When the village was founded, Eichenthal had an almost square-rectangular basic shape with 160 house spaces. These were almost evenly distributed over the village streets. Nevertheless, there were only a maximum of 100 houses, as some house spaces were empty or two adjacent house spaces were only used by a single family.

The village consisted of four streets, the Vorderen, Mittleren and Hinteren Gasse, all of which were cut across by the Kreuzgasse. The streets were very wide. The roadways were 10 meters wide and only the middle lane was paved with gravel, as it represented the main and connecting road between Sacu and Zgribeşti . Moats and 3-meter-wide sidewalks ran continuously to the left and right of the roads. Acacia and mulberry trees lined the paths.

In the middle of the village there was a school, a grocer, the parish hall, a horse stable and the belfry, which should be replaced by a church. There was never a real church in Eichenthal. The construction was always planned, but never came about due to financial hardship. But there was a spacious prayer house. This former prayer house no longer exists today. The new Ruthenian village population from northern Romania built their own Baptist prayer house in the 1980s. The pastoral care of the Eichenthalers took place in the Ebendorfer church. In a central place in the middle of the village stood a bell cage with two bells. The belfry is still in the same place in Eichenthal today, but only with a single bell.

There were two inns in Eichenthal. One was opened in 1898 by the Rettinger Andres family in Mittleren Gasse with a dance hall, drinking parlor and bowling alley and later continued as a cultural center by the Petri Nikolaus family . The second inn, also with a dance hall and bowling alley, which was located in Vorderen Gasse, was converted into a Catholic prayer house after the Second World War. In the tavern of Rettinger and Petri family every year found in November for St. Martin , the church consecration ceremony, so the "Kerweih" instead of, or were shown from time to films that were brought from the city.

At the beginning the village had two, from the 1950s only one well-run shop (a grocer, the so-called Cooperativa), where you could buy everything you need to live. Today the “Cooperativa” is barred with bars and the current villagers run to the neighboring villages of Sacu (5 km) or Sălbăgel (2 km) to go shopping. They make big purchases - just like the Eichenthalers years ago - in the cities of Caransebeş or Lugoj .

  • The village of Eichenthal

  • Former fountain in Mittleren Gasse

  • Fountain in the middle alley

The former village image has changed a lot in recent years. Sometimes there are brand new houses everywhere. In Eichenthal there were once covered draw wells with a crank pull: at least ten wells on the roadside and even more in the inner courtyards of the Eichenthalers. These were up to 31 meters deep. As a result of the introduction of the water supply and sewer system, these old wells became obsolete and left to decay. Today there are no more sidewalks along the houses and fences and the current villagers walk along the country road.

In the years 2009 to 2010 the five kilometer long country road from Sacu to Eichenthal and all streets of the village were paved. The inauguration ceremony in the presence of the mayor, a clergyman and many villagers took place in summer 2010. Occasionally, sidewalks along some houses have been paved with concrete slabs in recent years.

House and courtyard The typical German settler houses of the Eichenthalers, with the year of origin in the gable , houses that were initially built from rammed walls and mud bricks, were later expanded with fired bricks and continuously maintained through renovation work. Each court was at least one yoke in size. Each family had a large main house and a summer kitchen. On the courtyard side, the houses had an open, covered corridor, the so-called corridor. A pantry (the food) and then the cattle shed were added to the main house, followed by the extension for agricultural machinery and equipment and behind it a shed and a stable toilet seat. In the back yard each house had a barn for hay, corn, grain, and animal feed. Each family had their own cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, cats and farm dogs. Some Eichenthalers also bred pigeons and bees. In the courtyard, across from the main house, each family had a summer kitchen, which was mainly used in the warm months to prepare food and in winter at the time of the pig slaughter to protect the main house from dirt. There in the summer kitchen almost every house had an oven for baking bread.

  • Memorial plaque in Bäumenheim

  • Wreath laying

  • Memorial in honor of the fallen and missing Eichenthaler in the First and Second World Wars

  • Eichenthaler bell and bell chair in Bäumenheim

The area of ​​the cemetery is enclosed with trees and bushes. The crosses and tombstones are mostly made of white marble and the graves were regularly planted with fresh flowers for seasonal reasons. With the departure of the German residents from the village, all graves were covered with a cement slab by the relatives who remained. At the entrance to the cemetery, the “Great Cross” stood since the settlement of the village, which had a symbolic role at funerals.

After the Germans left the cemetery was repaired by the Ruthenian villagers and the fallen or torn cross stones were erected, as they began to use the cemetery for their deceased as well. In the early summer of 2005, the entire site was renovated with donations from former Eichenthalers.

The cemetery has been neglected since 2009, grasses and bushes have overgrown the area so that the old Eichenthal graves can no longer be reached.

economy

Initially, the newcomers dealt with the deforestation of the oak forest and then with the construction of the newly reclaimed soil. Shortly after the settlement of the village, gardening and field work were important.

Eichenthal had good craftsmen , but they were just as capable farmers. There were blacksmiths, plumbers, carpenters, tailors, hairdressers, cobblers and shoemakers, wagons, joiners, locksmiths, tinsmiths, butchers, innkeepers and beekeepers in the village. So are midwives, tractor drivers and a cooper. Eichenthal emigrants who returned from America brought their first agricultural machines (threshing, mowing machines) into the village before the First World War. These were then used in joint work and with mutual support by all villagers.

It was typical of the Eichenthalers that they had been self-sufficient since the first settler years . They knew how to sew their own clothes, make soap, make slippers, repair clocks and sewing machines, make schnapps, slaughter pigs and much more. Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, they were soon able to sell surpluses from their own production such as milk, grain, wine, fruit, vegetables, pigs and poultry on the markets in Lugosch, Caransebeş or Reșița, thereby improving their situation.

Some families sent their children to the city to learn a trade and so be able to start their own existence. Most of the time, the older son remained in the family's home as an inheritance in order to continue to manage the parental property and to ensure the continued existence of the extended family.

agriculture

  • Settlers around 1940 working in the fields

  • When threshing around 1952

The soil in Eichenthal was Podzolboden , a gray-white forest floor formed on clay, which is almost impermeable to water. The damming of the water in spring and autumn therefore often caused the plants to suffocate. In addition, the soil around Eichenthal was poor in lime, acidic and poor in nitrogen. Only the sandy soil along the 19 km long Wuna was more productive. So that the fields and arable land became more fertile and productive, every farmer had to cultivate them regularly and fertilize them with natural manure, which he carefully collected from his own pets behind his house.

Until 1945 the people of Eichenthal mainly cultivated wheat and maize , but also other stems . In the beginning the sowing was done manually, then with common seed drills. The crops were first harvested manually with a scythe, later in groups with threshing machines. Root crops were planted with a “setter”, pumpkins and beans were sown in between and sunflowers were planted on the edge of the fields to prevent storm damage. Potatoes and beets were planted in their own garden . After the First World War, tobacco was also planted in Eichenthal and delivered to the state under supervision.

The collection of medicinal herbs , such as linden blossom , chamomile , mint and blackberry leaves , was mainly carried out by school classes and was delivered to the state pharmaceutical industry.

Almost every family grew fruit and wine . Popular and high-yielding grape varieties were " Hotteler ", "Steinschiller" and Portuguese . As a rule, additional fruit was bought from local farmers to distill schnapps.

Fruit for compote or jam was always plentiful. Jam was made by hand in every house. In addition there was plenty of strawberries , currants , foot- and gooseberries , cherries , Vistula , apples - mainly the variety Jonathan -, plums , prunes , peaches , apricots , quince and walnuts .

Vegetables were harvested and used depending on the season: beans , peas , carrots , celery , onions , garlic , radish , cabbage , cauliflower , savoy cabbage , beetroot , spinach , tomatoes , peppers , blue fruits (eggplant), poppy seeds , cucumbers , melons .

The flower gardens were very well-kept and popular, and their own flowers were used abundantly at celebrations: tulips , daffodils , violets , snowball , jasmine , lilac , roses , carnations , hyacinths , dahlias , peonies , lilies , chrysanthemums , geraniums , pansies , gorse , asters , Gladioli , oleander , rosemary (for the Kerweih bouquet) and much more

Natural disasters such as hail , floods and storm damage occurred again and again . Natural pests such as cockchafer , caterpillars , powdery mildew and Colorado beetles ( Colorado beetles) destroyed the harvests several times. Persistent rain and moisture resulted in mildew rust, while extreme drought produced wireworms in maize. After the Second World War, the socialist planned economy and the land reform of 1945 devastated the farmers in Eichenthal. Due to the expropriation and collectivization of agriculture , the surrender of agricultural machinery ( combine harvesters , seed drills , tractors, etc.), most of their horses and pets to the agricultural production cooperative , they could no longer till their fields. The use of artificial fertilizers on the extensive fields of the Eichenthaler LPG only brought the hoped-for success in the first 2-3 years, but after that these measures led to the total deterioration of the soil and the loss of the harvests.

Livestock

The first settlers brought their own pets with them from the area of ​​origin. Over time, however, they began to breed more productive animal breeds: pigs of the Mangalitza and white Yorkshire breeds and cattle of the Pinzgau , Simmental and steppe cattle . They brought sheep and goats from neighboring Romanian villages, but only after the Second World War.

Almost every family owned at least one or more robust horses , mainly of the Nonius or Gidran races , which they used as draft and work animals . Free-range chickens , geese , ducks and rabbits were raised .

Pigeon breeding was carried out intensively , especially because of the tasty meat of the pigeon , as well as beekeeping and beekeeping for the good honey thanks to the wooded surroundings of Eichenthal.

Social-cultural life

schools

  • German elementary school in Eichenthal

  • School class 1928–1929

  • School class 1937–1938

  • School class 1957–1958

With the beginning of the settlement of the village in 1894, the approximately 30-40 Eichenthaler pupils between the ages of seven and twelve were taught reading, writing and arithmetic in German by a single unqualified teacher in a makeshift "classroom" . From 1909, there was a state primary school in Eichenthal with a classroom and qualified teachers. As a result of increasing Magyarization , the more than 50 students in grades 1 to 7 were taught in Hungarian .

After the First World War, when the Banat fell to Romania as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , German was reintroduced as the language of instruction.

In the years 1963 to 1968 the number of pupils fell sharply, as many Eichenthalers left the village. In 1968 German lessons in Eichenthal were completely discontinued, because due to the large emigration from the village there were only 15 Eichenthal primary school students who then either went to the German boarding school in Ebendorf or the Romanian school in Sacu.

From 1972 onwards, Ruthenian (Ukrainian) large families settled in the abandoned German houses, so that two Romanian teachers were able to teach Ukrainian and Romanian to more than 50 school children from grades 1 to 8 .

Cultural life

  • Eichenthaler Musikkapelle

  • Eichenthaler Choir 1956

  • Eichenthaler Trachtenball in Darowa 1965

Since the settlement of Eichenthal there has been a lively cultural life in the village. In 1926 Josef Altmann founded the first Eichenthaler brass band consisting of clarinet , flugelhorn , alto horn , bass flugelhorn , baritone , euphonium , helicon .

In the period from 1937 to 1942, Franz Grenzner set up a string orchestra . At first it was just a bass violin and about fourteen children who played the violin .

After the Second World War, the Eichenthaler Kapellmeister , composer and songwriter, Heinrich Schneider , organized and directed a smaller brass band and wrote and composed the "Eichenthaler Heimatlied", "Schwowebu", "Fern der Heimat", "Schwabenmädl" and many other pieces of music. His main line-up consisted of saxophone , accordion , trumpet , trombone , drums , clarinet and helicon and until 1960 it was a very popular entertainment orchestra in the whole of the Banat, far beyond the village limits. In 1970 the band dissolved, as most of the members left Eichenthal. Heinrich Schneider's son, Helmuth Schneider , founded an orchestra in Timișoara in 1969 .

Eichenthal also had folk dance groups, which were mainly supervised by teachers. These groups were quite active in the years between the two world wars and very successful in the years 1955 to 1963 under the leadership of the Orner couple.

Singing in a choir was also very popular in Eichenthal. After the First World War, the teacher Geza Mayer founded a male choir that took part in church celebrations, processions and village celebrations with four parts. Franz Grenzner founded a mixed choir that performed not only classical but also popular and well-known folk songs and Bohemian songs. Karl Orner set up a mixed choir. Accompanied by the Eichenthaler Musikkapelle, the Eichenthaler choir was very successful and even sang on the opera stage in Timisoara .

Drama was another popular activity for the Eichenthalers. Even in the first years of their settlement in Eichenthal, funny short amateur pieces were performed on the village stage. Plays, consisting of several acts, were rehearsed during the war years. Theatrical performances were brought especially on the winter holidays. And again and again it was village teachers who advocated the rehearsal of these amateur and theater plays. Compatriots from Eichenthal, such as Johann Millich , Matthias Jerhoff or Franz Rettinger, brought well-known pieces to the stage with great success as early as the 1930s.

Käthe Millich revived theater life in the 1950s. But it was only under the direction of Karl Orner that acting became an extremely successful occupation for many Eichenthalers. They presented themselves on many stages in the Banat municipalities and cities and successfully participated in the final stages of competitions in Timisoara . In 1957, the Eichenthal amateur artists in Bucharest received first prize at the state level for the performance of the play "The Great Pumpkin" by Hans Kehrer , rehearsed under the direction of the teacher Karl Orner .

Festivals and Traditions

  • Eichenthal Kerweih couple around 1935

  • Eichenthaler Weih couples around 1937

  • Eichenthal costume

  • Kerweih couples around 1940

The Kirchweih festival was the most important holiday in Eichenthal. The Eichenthaler Kirchweih Festival (dialect: "Kerweih" or "Kerwei") has always occurred on Martini Day , November 11th, since the Banat Schwabendorf was founded in 1894 . The festival was celebrated year after year. The celebration always lasted three days. On the day before November 11th, the more than 17-meter-high Christmas tree was decorated with colored ribbons, bottles and headscarves by the Christmas girls and then set up by the Christmas boys in the center of the village.

Even the ram, which had been bought in a neighboring Romanian village shortly before Kerweih, was decorated with beautiful ribbons so that it could be brought home to the winner of the bowling competition on Christmas afternoon with Kerweih brass music and a cheerful crowd . On Kerweihtag there was a church service in the morning, first and foremost the Eichenthaler brass music, followed by the Kerweih couples dressed in traditional costume and the villagers. In the afternoon we went to the tavern in the large dance hall, where the celebration took place with music and dance. Across from the tavern there was a large " carousel " for children and all sorts of stalls with sweets and toys. At the end of the festival, the Christmas bouquet was auctioned (dialect: "injured") and the cloth and bottle won from the tree.

There were also the following public holidays, which the Eichenthalers celebrated regularly:

  • The White Cross in front of Eichenthal - a place of pilgrimage
