45°45′35.44″N 21°16′9.9″E / 45.7598444°N 21.269417°E Ghiroda Nouă (Hungarian: Újgiroda, also Erzsébetpuszta;[a] German: Neugiroda)[2] is a district of Timișoara, located in the eastern part of the city, north of the Bega Canal. Originally called Colonia Crișan (Hungarian: Krizsántelep; German: Krischan Kolonie), the area was populated around 1750, when there was a rice mill here. It was annexed to Timișoara in 1949.[3]
History edit
In 1711, Pasha Hassan had his summer residence here; the residence came into the possession of the Austrians after the siege of 1716.[4] Part of the Austrian army was stationed in Ghiroda under the command of Count Pálffy.[4] During the Josephinian Land Survey under Count Claude Florimond de Mercy (1723–1725) Ghiroda is registered as an inhabited place with a church and 24 houses.[4] Mainly rice and mulberry trees were grown in the so-called Girodaer Hotter.[4] Ghiroda was a Romanian settlement with an Orthodox church. A Romanian school, one of the first in Romania, opened here in 1774.[4]
