Kiskundorozsma was once an independent Village in Csongrád-Csanád County, today it is a part of Szeged.

History

edit

Dorozsma's name was first mentioned in 1237 by a diploma written in the form of Durusma, Drusma.

It used to be an ancient fishing farm. The original owner Dorozsma family (more known as the Garai family) founded a Benedictine monastery here, which was also their genus monastery. Dorozsma was destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Europe and repopulated around 1300.

In 1478 it had a stone church, but this was destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. In 1719, it was re-introduced, mainly with Jasz people. First the Franciscans of Szeged cared for the faithful, and in 1725 the parish was formed.

The military admissions of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor in 1783-1784 show a large number of shepherd's accommodation and herds in the pastures in the territory of Kiskundorozsma and Üllés. At the same time, 230 outlying houses were counted during the population study, which shows the appearance of the farmworld. According to the records, oats and barley cultivation and grazing were characteristic of the countryside. In August 1831, the village was hit by a Cholera epidemic.

The city council discussed the possibility of dividing public pastures in 1853, but at that time the pastures were fattening huge goules. Until 1854, the local magistrate tried to ban permanent outhouses on farms: it had 25 stick punches, provided that the found grapes would be destroyed and the pigs would be driven away. Finally, in 1856, the first school on the outskirts of Kiskundorozsma began to operate in a converted pipe house in the Seregélyes Dűlő. Shortly thereafter, in the extensive farmland, the Dudás Chapel, the later Kistemplomtanya, was first built in 1858 from a private sale in what is now Bordány.

Kiskundorozsma was part of Kiskunság until 1876, when it was annexed to Csongrád County (former), so it was torn away from the rest of Kiskunság belonging to Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun County. In 1879, the Great Flood of Szeged flooded Kiskundorozsma.

In 1881, the cadastre map of 90 coupons was drawn up entitled "Dorozsma large community in Csongrád County". For the final settlement of the ownership, the division of former public pastures and public land was carried out in 1898-99. At this time, dwarf estates were formed around many farms, while the more a modal ones formed large estates by buying personal jusss. In the event of a dispute, it was decided by drawing lots. The legal settlement has also led to a rapid increase in the number of people on the outskirts.

From the 1920s on, the pull sector of large estates became viticulture and winemaking. The Wolf Estate and Bohn Vineyards earned national status in grape breeding, and foreign orders were also fulfilled. In September 1929, the prospering Farmer's Circle organized a national agricultural, artisanal and cultural exhibition and fair in Árpádközpont (the former Göbölyjárás) with 293 exhibitors, for which about 3,000 visitors came up close and far.

In 1945, 106 families from Kiskundorozsma moved to Mágocs in Baranya County to the houses of the germans who were then displaced. It was the seat of the village until 1950, when nearby Szeged took over the role. The settlement was finally annexed to Szeged in 1973. Dorozsma also had very extensive wildernesses, from which the present-day Üllés emerged in 1948, and the municipalities of Bordány, Forráskút and Zsombó in 1950.

The windmill

edit

The first Windmill was built on a hill in 1801 to make it easier for the wind to prop up its sails. In the Salaš, scattered people were happy to gather in the mill to exchange ideas and news. Many times the choice of a girl was also made in the mill. In 1905, there were already 23 windmills in Kiskundorozsmán. The longest-tenacious and still visible mill was built by Czékus Andor in 1821. Until 1920, grain was ground in it, followed by fodder.

On November 25, 1966, it was extorted, and the planned renovation and refurbishment was postponed, until finally, on a wet morning, the windmill collapsed, and Dorozsma's last windmill was destroyed. The National Monument Inspectorate has decided to renovate the building using original materials. Reconstruction began in the early 1972s. Some elements of the mill were labeled in an outbuilding waiting to be matched. The restoration was completed in the spring of 1973.

On the morning of June 9, 2005, the mill was destroyed again as a result of continuous rains. On the north side of the mill wall, several square meters of wall collapsed. In August 2006, reconstruction began on the order of the Treasury Property Directorate. The works were completed by 18 December 2006 and the refurbished mill building was delivered on 20 December under a solemn framework. When trying the windmill, which was renovated for 20 million forints, a left-over old roof beam was crushed.
