history

Tomnatic was founded in 1772 with settlers from Lorraine , whose Duke Franz Stephan married the later Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa in 1736 . 62% of the Triebswetter settlers come from the area around Château-Salins . Others came from Alsace , the Palatinate , Baden and Bavaria . Triebswetter was initially a French-speaking village, but within three generations French was supplanted by German. Triebswetter was the largest of the four “Welschen” (French) villages in the Banat. The other three are not far from Großkomlosch in today's Serbia ( St. Hubert , Charleville and Seultour). Triebswetter got its name after the engineer Anton von Triebswetter, who made measurements here.

The church was built from 1846 to 1850. The then Bishop Alexander Bonnaz donated the high altar and the two side altars . The current school was built in 1894.

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 Tomnatic also belonged, fell to 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 Nationalization Act of June 11, 1948 provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, whereby all commercial enterprises were expropriated regardless of ethnicity.

Since the population along the Romanian-Yugoslav border was classified as a security risk by the Romanian government after the rift between Stalin and Tito and his exclusion from the Cominform alliance, "politically unreliable elements" were deported to the Bărăgan on June 18, 1951 . Steppe regardless of ethnicity. At the same time, the Romanian leadership aimed to break the resistance against the impending collectivization of agriculture. When the Bărăgan abductees returned home in 1956, the houses and farms expropriated in 1945 were returned to them. However, the field ownership was collectivized.

The municipality of Tomnatic emerged from the municipality of Lovrin (Lowrin) since 2004 .

Demographic development

The demographic development in Triebswetter is similar to that in other former German villages in the Banat. In 1910 the 3,378 Germans from Triebswetter made up 93% of the population. After the Second World War, their number steadily decreased due to emigration. In 1977 there were 1,454 Germans living in the village (out of a total of 3,585 inhabitants), which made up 41% of the population. In 1992 there were 383 Germans (13% of the total population of 2,927 inhabitants), in 2011 only 122 Germans (4% of the total population of 3,144 inhabitants), as were the Hungarians ; about twice as many Roma . Thus Triebswetter is now a predominantly Romanian-speaking village.
