history

Sânandrei is one of the oldest localities in Timiș County. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1230 under the name Sancto Andrea , but archaeological finds attest to the existence of a settlement as early as the Neolithic. The first Germans settled here in 1748, and the Roman Catholic Church was built in 1762, which was given its current form in 1811 after a few renovations. In 1766 the French settled in Sânandrei and in 1772 another 42 German families. In 1834 the Greek Orthodox Church was built.

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Sanktandreas also belonged, fell to Romania. In 1923 the place was given the official name Sânandrei.

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.
