history

Altsadowa was founded in the spring of 1829 by German Bohemia near Moldova Nouă as part of the Banat military border. The emigrants were promised support, ten years of tax exemption , five years of exemption from military service , free travel as well as land, a log house and household appliances.

In April 1828, the first 56 families from the Bohemian Forest and the Bavarian Forest set out for the Banat. The first settlers arrived at their destination in late autumn and wintered in Slatina-Timiș . In the spring of 1829 they then reached the towns of Wolfsberg , Weidenthal , Wolfswiese and Lindenfeld that were intended for them . Because of the poor soil quality, the poor harvests and the unreasonable weather conditions, the settlers made the decision to move away again.

On September 14, 1833, the Court War Council in Vienna approved her resettlement. 268 families settled in the Banat Plain, 45 families, however, stayed in the Temeschtal and founded the village of Altsadowa. In 1864, on the occasion of a trip to the Banat , Emperor Franz Joseph I waived the settlement debts of the German Bohemia. In 1872 the military border was dissolved and the village fell to Hungary . At the same time a civil administration was introduced.

After the Treaty of Trianon , Altsadowa was annexed to Romania. In contrast to most of the Banat towns, agriculture was not nationalized in Altsadowa. The farmers continued to own their fields. But high taxes and levies meant that the peasant farms could no longer secure the livelihood of the village population. The youth migrated to Timișoara and Reșița . After the revolution of 1989 there was massive emigration to Germany .

economy

Few old Sadovans were employed full-time in agriculture. Because of the poor quality of the soil, agriculture was not collectivized here during the socialist era. Most of the villagers were artisans or ranchers , while others were involved in wood processing . Some made their living as forest workers . The youth mostly worked in the factories in Caransebeş , Oțelu Roşu or Reşița .

Residents

Altsadowa was the only village in the Temeschtal, of which about 97 percent of the inhabitants were German Bohemia. Most of the Germans were here in 1910, when their number amounted to 606 people along with six Romanians and 23 Hungarians .

In 1977 there were still 522 Germans living in Altsadowa in addition to 61 Romanians, three Hungarians, a Serb and a Gypsy .

In the 1992 census, not only were fewer Germans counted, but also fewer villagers overall. The number of Germans fell to 170 people, the number of Romanians rose to 152.

The total number of villagers decreased from 588 in 1977 to 322 in 1992. In 2002 Altsadowa only had 301 inhabitants.
