The name of the town refers to the fact that a castle used to stand here on the banks of the river Temes. Indeed, when the Hungarians built a castle here in the 10th century, the Temes was still flowing by. Today, the river bypasses the town a few kilometres to the south, and the town is bisected by the Béga Canal, built in the first half of the 18th century, when the surrounding marshes were drained. The seat of Temes County became the capital of Hungary for a short time in the early 14th century, when King Charles I moved his court here to escape the oligarchs ruling most of the country, notably Csák Máté, and had a stone castle built. The castle, damaged in an earthquake, was repaired and strengthened by Hunyadi János, who was appointed ispán of Temes County in 1441. The castle still bears his name. In 1514, the army of Dózsa György, who led the greatest Hungarian peasant uprising, was crushed near the town and he himself was burnt here on a blazing iron throne. A chapel of Mary was erected on the site of his execution in 1906. The Hungarian town met its fate on 27 July 1552, when Captain Losonczy István, who had left the castle that became impossible to defend after 25 days of siege with the promise of free retreat, was slaughtered by the Turks with the town's entire population. Until the Romanian occupation, the main square of the town was called Losonczy Square in his honour. Temesvár became the seat of an Ottoman province and was ruled by a Pasha until 1716, when it was captured from them by the imperial army of Prince Eugene of Savoy. During the Turkish Wars, the region called Temesköz, once inhabited mostly by Hungarians, was completely depopulated and the town itself was destroyed in the siege. The Habsburgs created the Banate of Temes with the seat of Temesvár in the area. The Hungarians were forbidden to return to the area, and it was repopulated with German, Serbian and Vlach settlers. The town was completely rebuilt and a modern star-shaped fortress was built around it. In 1732, it became the seat of the Bishopric of Csanád, established by St Stephen of Hungary in the 11th century. In 1778, the area became part of Hungary again and Temes County was re-established, but the geographical area has been called Bánság (Banate) ever since. By the early 20th century, it had become the most multicultural region of Hungary. This was ended by the Trianon Dictate, which divided the Banate between Romania and Serbia. Since then the Germans have disappeared and the Hungarian population have dwindled.

The alliance of the seven Hungarian tribes took possession of the then largely uninhabited Carpathian Basin. Until then, the sparse Slavic population of the north-western Carpathians had lived under Moravian rule for a few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the early 9th century.
10th century
A hillfort was built with ramparts and palisades by the Temes River (now: Béga Channel).

Foundation of the Hungarian Kingdom
Little more...
1000
The Kingdom of Hungary was established with the coronation of King Stephen I. He converted the Hungarians to Christianity and created two archdioceses (Esztergom and Kalocsa) and ten dioceses. He divided Hungary into counties led by ispáns, who were appointed by the king.
1212
The castle of Temesvár (Castrum Temesiensis) and the castle county was mentioned for the first time in a letter of donation issued by King Andrew II of Hungary.
1241-1242
Mongol Invasion
Little more...
1241-1242
The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary. He allowed the feudal lords to build stone castles because they were able to successfully resist the nomadic Mongols. The vast majority of stone castles were built after this. The king called in German, Vlach (Romanian) and Slavic settlers to replace the destroyed population.
1266
Temesvár was called Castrum Tymes in a document, when Hungary was ruled by King Stephen V. Temesvár got its name from the Temes River, because in the Middle Ages some branches of the river flowed through the town. The Romanian Timișoara comes from the Hungarian Temesvár word (meaning Temes Castle), just like the German Temeswar or the Serbian name of the town.
1301
The extinction of the House of Árpád
Little more...
1301
The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family. King Charles I (1308-1342), supported by the Pope, eventually emerged as the most prominent of the contenders for the Hungarian throne. But it took decades to break the power of the oligarchs.
1315 - 1323
King Charles I of Hungary moved his seat to Temesvár because of his war against the oligarchs. Buda was dangerously close to the territory of the most powerful oligarch, Csák Máté. The dating of this period is disputed.
1315 or 1318
King Charles I ordered the construction of a new rectangular stone castle next to the hillfort. He and his family lived in that castle while he was staying in Temesvár. The castle was surrounded by walls reinforced with round bastions on the corners. The south-eastern tower of the old hillfort was transformed to a gate tower and a bridge was built over the moat, which connected the two neighbouring fortifications.
1330
King Charles I stayed in Temesvár and launched his campaign against Basarab I of Wallachia from the town.
1396
The crusaders gathered in the town before marching to the battle of Nicopolis. After the defeat, the Turks crossed the Danube and plundered Hungary as far as Temesvár.

Temesvár was generally mentioned as an oppidum (a serf town with some privileges).
1441
King Ulászló I of Hungary appointed Hunyadi János ispán of Temes County and captain of Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade).
1443
The town was struck by an earthquake, and the castle was seriously damaged. Hunyadi János repaired the buildings and walls of the castle and also significantly reinforced the defences. The palace was also renovated and expanded. The castle had four gates (Erdély or Karánsebes Gate, Lippa or Prajkó Gate, Arad Gate and Vizitorony Gate). Hunyadi moved his family from Kolozsvár to Temesvár. Hunyadi was elected Governor of Hungary in 1446, and his younger son, Mátyás (Matthias), was brought up in the castle of Temesvár. Temesvár remained in the possession of the Hunyadi family until the death of King Matthias in 1490.

Siege of Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade)
Little more...
1456
The Turkish army of Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, besieged the castle of Nándorfehérvár (Belgrade), which was the southern gateway to Hungary. But the Hungarian army, led by Hunyadi János, won a decisive victory over the twice to three times larger Turkish army. The Pope had earlier ordered that church bells should be rung every noon to pray for the victory of the defenders. Hunyadi János died of plague in the camp after the battle.
1462, 1467
Turks tried to occupy Temesvár in vain, because it was a key element in the defence system of Hungary during the reign of King Matthias.

Battle of Mohács and the splitting of Hungary into two parts
Little more...
1526
Sultan Suleiman I launched a war against Vienna, instigated by the French. Ferdinand I, Duke of Austria, was the brother-in-law of King Louis II of Hungary. The army of the Ottoman Empire defeated the much smaller Hungarian army at Mohács, and King Louis II died in the battle. A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.
1541
The Turkish occupation of the capital, Buda, and the division of Hungary into three parts
Little more...
1541
The Turks conquered Buda, the capital of Hungary, after the death of King John I. The central part of the country was under Turkish rule for 150 years. The western and northern parts (including present-day Slovakia) formed the Kingdom of Hungary ruled by the Habsburg emperors. The eastern parts (now mainly under Romanian rule) were ruled by the successors of King John I of Hungary, who later established the Principality of Transylvania.
July 1551
The child John Sigismund's guardian, George Martinuzzi, with Castaldo's imperial army, forced Queen Isabella to surrender the Eastern Hungarian Kingdom (including Transylvania) to King Ferdinand I. Isabella left for Poland with her child, the heir to the throne. Temesvár was received by Losonczy István and his Hungarian soldiers. The Turks then launched a punitive campaign against Hungary.
October 15, 1551
The Turks tried to capture Temesvár unsuccessfully.
July 1552
Pasha Kara Ahmed's army of 30,000 besieged Temesvár defended by only 2,000 soldiers. The imperial mercenary army of Castaldo stationed in Transylvania did not come to their aid. Near the end of the 25 days siege, the Turks destroyed the water tower of the town. Captain Losonczy István, ispán of Temes County, had to agree to surrender the town. The terms included, that the soldiers and the inhabitants could leave the town unharmed. The Turks did not keep their word, and on 27 July they massacred the survivors of the siege while they were leaving the castle. Losonczy István was beheaded. The Turks held the castle for one and a half century, which completely lost its former Hungarian characteristics.
after 1552
Temesvár became the seat of an Ottoman province equal to that of Buda, under the leadership of a pasha. The firs Sephardi Jews started to settle in the town. The Turks launched their attacks from Temesvár against the neighbouring areas.
1556
The Estates of Transylvania, dissatisfied with Habsburg rule, recalled Queen Isabella to the throne, to which the Sultan gave his consent. On her return, she regained control of eastern Hungary.

Little more...
1570
John II (John Sigismund), the son of King John I of Hungary, renounced the title of King of Hungary in favor of King Maximilian of the House of Habsburg, and henceforth held the title of Prince. This formally created the Principality of Transylvania, which was the eastern half of Hungary not ruled by the Habsburgs and was also a vassal of the Ottoman Empire. John II died in 1571, after which the three nations of Transylvania (the Hungarian nobility, the Székelys and the Saxons) elected the prince.
1591-1606
Fifteen Years' War
Little more...
1591-1606
The Ottoman Empire started a war against the Habsburg Empire. The war was waged in the territory of Hungary. The Turks defeated the combined armies of the Habsburg Empire and the Principality of Transylvania in the battle of Mezőkeresztes in 1596, but their victory was not decisive. The war devastated the Principality of Transylvania, which was occupied by the Habsburg army, and General Basta introduced a reign of terror.
1595
Bán Borbély György of Karánsebes, appointed by Prince Báthory Zsigmond of Transylvania, fought successfully and liberated the lower valley of the Maros River from the Turks, including Arad. Prince Báthory Zsigmond besieged Temesvár, but they had to give up the siege after 40 days.
1597

1603
General Basta left Transylvania with his imperial army. Székely Mózes set out from Temesvár with Székely and Turkish armies to liberate Transylvania.

The Habsburgs mobilized their vassal, Voivode Radu Serban of Wallachia, who attacked the camp of Székely Mózes at Brassó at night on 17 July. The Prince was killed and General Basta returned to Transylvania.
1604-1606
Uprising of Bocskai István
Little more...
1604-1606
The alliance of the Habsburgs and the Principality of Transylvania was defeated by the Ottoman Empire in the Fifteen Years' War. The war devastated Transylvania, which was occupied by the Habsburg imperial army, and General Basta introduced a reign of terror. The nobility and the burghers were upset about the terror, the plundering mercenaries and the violent Counter-Reformation. Bocskai István decided to lead their uprising after the Habsburg emperor tried to confiscate his estates. Bocskai also rallied the hajdú warriors to his side. He was elected Prince of Transylvania and soon liberated the Kingdom of Hungary from the Habsburgs. In 1605 Bocskai István was crowned King of Hungary with the crown he received from the Turks.

23 June 1606
Bocski István made peace with Emperor Rudolf. Their agreement secured the constitutional rights of the Estates of Hungary, and the freedom of religion. The counties of Szatmár, Bereg and Ugocsa were annexed to the Principality of Transylvania. Bocskai died of illness in the same year, leaving to his successors the idea of unifying Hungary from Transylvania.
1619
The campaign of Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania in the Thirty Years' War
Little more...
1619
At the beginning of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania went to war against the Habsburg emperor as an ally of the rebelling Czech-Moravian-Austrian estates. The whole Kingdom of Hungary joined him, only the Austrian defenders of Pozsony had to be put to the sword. With his allies, he laid siege to Vienna. However, he was forced to abandon the siege because the Habsburg-loyal Hungarian aristocrat Homonnai Drugeth György attacked his heartland with Polish mercenaries. On 25 August 1620, the Diet of Besztercebánya elected Bethlen Gábor King of Hungary as vassal of the Turks. He continued to fight after the defeat of the Czechs at White Mountain on 8 November 1620, but without real chance to achieve decisive victory, he decided to come to an agreement with Emperor Ferdinand II.
31 December 1621
Peace of Nikolsburg
Little more...
31 December 1621
Prince Bethlen Gábor of Transylvania made peace with Emperor Ferdinand II. Their agreement secured the constitutional rights of the Estates of Hungary, and later it was supplemented with the freedom of religion. Bethlen renounced the title of King of Hungary in exchange for seven counties of the Upper Tisza region (Szabolcs, Szatmár, Bereg, Ugocsa, Zemplén, Borsod, Abaúj) for the rest of his life, other estates in Hungary as his private property and the imperial title of Duke of Oppeln and Ratibor (Opole and Racibórz), one of the Duchies of Silesia.

On 18 July 1645 his army joined forces with Torstenson's Swedish army under Brno (Moravia). The excellent artillery of Transylvania opened fire on the city walls. However, Rákóczi had to give up the siege, having been informed that the Turks were planning a punitive campaign against Transylvania, because he went to war against the Sultan's prohibition.

16 December 1645
Prince Rákóczi György I of Transylvania made peace with Emperor Ferdinand III. It secured the freedom of religion for the Protestants and extended it also to the serfs.

Turkish defeat at Vienna and the formation of the Holy League
Little more...
1683
The combined armies of the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Poland defeated the Turkish army besieging Vienna. Emperor Leopold I wanted to make peace with the Turks, but was refused by Sultan Mehmed IV. In 1684, at the persistent urging of Pope Innocent XI, the Holy League, an alliance of the Kingdom of Poland, the Habsburg Empire, the Republic of Venice and the Papal States, was formed to expel the Turks from Hungary. Thököly Imre, who had allied himself with the Turks, was gradually driven out of northern Hungary.
1686
Recapture of Buda and the liberation of Hungary from the Turks
Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.
1697
After Prince Eugene of Savoy achieved a decisive victory over the army of Sultan Mustafa II in the battle of Zenta, the Turks retreated to Temesvár. The Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699 left Temesköz in Turkish hands. The area of Temesköz (the plain enclosed by the Maros, Tisza and Danube rivers), formerly populated by mostly Hungarians, became completely uninhabited by that time due to constant wars.
1716
A new war broke out between the Habsburg and the Ottoman empires. After his victory at Pétervárad, Prince Eugene of Savoy attacked Temesvár. Cannonading destroyed most of the town in the siege that lasted 48 days until finally Pasha Mustafa surrendered.
1716
Prince Eugene of Savoy entrusted Claude Florimond de Mercy with the governance of Temesköz (the area bounded by the rivers Maros, Tisza and Danube). Mercy was later appointed civil and military leader of the Bánság of Temes by King Charles IV of Hungary (Emperor Charles VI).
1717
The brewery of Temesvár was established.
1719
Temesvár became the seat of the Bánság of Temes. Temesköz was not reincorporated into Hungary, but was governed separately from Vienna under the name of Bánság of Temes. The Habsburgs wanted to repopulate the area with Roman Catholic Germans and to make it an Austrian province, part of the Erblande (the Hereditary Lands of the Habsburgs). Habsburg rulers aimed to divide Hungary into separate parts and Germanize them one by one. To this end, they forbade the return of Hungarians to the Bánság of Temes, which was a Hungarian majority area before the Turkish invasion. Instead, the area was repopulated by German, Vlach and Serbian migrants.
1728-1732
The Béga Channel was constructed and the swamps were drained. The channel connected the town with the Danube River through the Béga and Tisza rivers.
1723-1765
The star shape fortress was constructed around the town in Vauban style. The town was built within the walls of the fortress with regular street system.
1732
The Diocese of Csanád, established by King Stephen I of Hungary, was moved to Temesvár.
1736-1773
The Roman Catholic cathedral was constructed.
1738-39
Plaque decimated the population.
1745-1748
An Orthodox church was built after the town became the seat of an Orthodox diocese. Serbian and Wallachian migrants followed the Orthodox religion.
1751
Empress Maria Theresia reorganized the administration of the Bánság of Temes. 8 of the 11 districts were removed from military governance and placed under civil administration , but the emperor exercised absolute power over the area. Of the remaining three districts, she organised the Military Border Region of Bánság.
1778
At the demand of the Estates of Hungary, Empress Maria Theresia returned the area of the Bánság of Temes that was under civil governance to Hungary. This ended the unconstitutional status of the area and the counties of Torontál, Temes and Krassó, which ceased to exist due to the Turkish conquest, were formed. Hungarians were no longer prohibited from settling in the area. Hungarians started to move to Temesköz in larger numbers but they could never regain their former majority. The area was continued to be called simply Bánság (Banat refers to its eastern part that belongs to Romania now, and it is the simple translation of the Hungarian Bánság).
1780
The two separate magistrates (Catholic and Orthodox) of the town were united.
1790
The Piarist grammar school was established.
1797
An earthquake shook the town.
1782
Emperor Joseph II made Temesvár a free royal town.
1788-1789
Turks held the town under occupation in the Habsburg-Ottoman war between 1787 and 1791.
1809
The Habsburg crown jewels and the Holy Crown of Hungary were rescued to Temesvár from the attack of Napoleon.
1831, 1836
Cholera decimated the population.
1848-1849
Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
May 1848
Serbian migrants started a rebellion and created an autonomous region called Serbian Voivodina. Their goal was to secede the territory from Hungary and unite it with Serbia. Volunteers arrived from the Principality of Serbia, which was under Turkish protectorate, to support them in order to create Greater Serbia. The rebellious Serbs fought on the side of the Habsburgs to crush the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence. The Serbs began a large-scale ethnic cleansing campaign in Hungarian and Vlach villages, which extended to the area of Bánság.
1849
The Hungarian army held Temesvár under siege for 114 days. The German garrison, which ran out of supply and was also decimated by diseases, was about to surrender, when the Russian intervention ended the Hungarian War of Independence.
after 1849
After the Hungarian War of Independence was suppressed by the Russian intervention, the Habsburg emperor created the province called Serb Vajdaság and Bánság of Temes from the former territories of the Bánság of Temes and some parts of Serbian Voivodina declared arbitrarily by the Serbian rebels. This province was controlled directly from Vienna. This meant that the Habsburg emperor did not fulfil the Serb's demands, in return for which they turned against the Hungarians. None of the nationalities (Hungarians, Germans, Vlachs, Serbians) were anywhere near a majority in the new province.
1856
The Hunyadi Castle had to be completely rebuilt after the siege. The castle was originally built by King Charles I of Hungary and transformed by Hunyadi János, Governor of Hungary. The castle was used as a museum from 1872.
1857
The town got railway connection.
1860
The province called Serb Vajdaság and Bánság of Temes (created in 1849) was abolished and the area was re-incorporated into Hungary. This was part of the October Diploma issued by Emperor Franz Joseph, which brought a minor ease in Habsburg absolutism.
1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.
1869
A horse-drawn railway was established.
1871
Temesvár got railway connection with Arad.
1884
Temesvár was the second European town after London (1881), where electricity was used to operate public lighting. Temesvár was also the first town in the Habsburg Empire to introduce public lighting, for which gas was used from 1857.
between 1892 and 1910
The fortifications were demolished.
1914-1918
World War I
Little more...
1914-1918
As part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Hungary took part in the war on the side of the Central Powers.
1916
On 27 August, Romania declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and launched an attack against Hungary. This triggered a huge wave of refugees from Transylvania, as the population feared a repeat of the Romanian ethnic cleansing of 1848-49. Austro-Hungarian and German forces drove the invaders out of the country by mid-October and occupied Bucharest on 6 December. Romania surrendered and signed a peace treaty with the central powers on 7 May 1918 (Treaty of Bucharest).
October 31, 1918
The local military and political elite formed the People's Council of Bánság under the leadership of the German Otto Roth together with the representatives of the major nationalities (Germans, Hungarians, Serbians, Vlachs). Their goal was to keep the area within the scope of Hungary. They declared the Republic of Bánság on 1 November, whose capitol became Temesvár. They wanted to organize the republic on the model of Switzerland.
1918
On 3 November, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy signed the Armistice of Padua. The already defeated Romania then declared war on Germany on 10 November, just one day before the Germans signed the armistice near Compiègne. The Romanians then launched an offensive against Hungary, which had already unconditionally ceased fighting at the demand of the Entente. Romania was only recognised by the Entente powers as one of the victors of WWI only later.
November 1918 - January 1919
The Czech, Romanian and Serbian occupation of Hungary
Little more...
November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.
from 1918
By 1922, 197,000 Hungarians were forced to leave the Romanian-occupied part of the country. By 1939 a further 169,000 Hungarians had left Transylvania, mostly aristocrats, intellectuals and a significant number of farmers. Most of them moved to Hungary. Before the Romanian invasion, 1,662,000 Hungarians lived in Transylvania, 32 percent of the population.
November 14, 1918
Temesvár was invaded by the Serbian army, which took over the administration.
December 3, 1918
The French army invaded Temesvár. The French arbitrarily divided the area of Bánság between the Serbians and the Romanians. Temesvár went to the Romanians. They completely ignored that the area had been part of Hungary since the end of the 9th century and it had significant Hungarian and German population, who anyway formed the majority in Temesvár.
August 3, 1919
The Romanian army invaded Temesvár and aggressive Romanianization started.
4 June 1920
Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.
July 1944
The air force of the Allies bombed Temesvár.
August 1944
The Romanians took the staff of the German military headquarter captive after they switched to the side of the Soviet Union. The town was invaded by the Soviets.
October 1944
The German air force bombed the town.
1956
Students organized sympathy demonstrations on the side of the Hungarian revolution and demanded the ease of communist dictatorship. The protests were violently suppressed by the Securitate.
from the 1950s
800,000 Romanians were settled in Transylvania from Moldavia, but many also came from Wallachia. The aim was to Romanianize the still majorly Hungarian towns and to break up the ethnic Hungarian blocks. While previously there was a Romanian majority in only a few small towns, this has been reversed by now.
1960's, 70's
During the forced industrialization of the town, Romanian migrants from all parts of Romania became the majority in Temesvár.
December 1989
The anti-communist revolution of Romania started in Temesvár. On 15 December, the Romanian authorities tried to evict the Hungarian pastor of the Calvinist church, Tőkés László, who became famous for protesting against the Ceausescu regime. The pastor resisted and the believers gathered in front of the church to express their solidarity silently. This turned to a mass demonstration against Ceausescu the next day. The protests continued and the Securitate, the police and the army responded with brutal violence. On 20 December the authorities stopped resisting and Temesvár was declared the first free town of Romania. Up until that moment there were no demonstrations in any other towns of Romania. The Ceausescu couple was executed five days later on 25 December.
2002
7.2 million people lived in Transylvania, including 1.42 million Hungarians. There were 1.65 million Hungarians out of 5.2 million in 1910. The proportion of the Romanians increased from 53.78% to 74.69%, while the proportion of the Hungarians decreased from 31.64% to 19.6%. The proportion of the Germans dropped from 10.75% to below 1%. These changes were mainly the results of migration and the persecution of Hungarians and Saxons. Transylvania here refers to the entire territory that once belonged to Hungary, which is much larger than historical Transylvania.

St. George Roman Catholic Cathedral
History
In 1732 the centre of the Diocese of Csanád, founded by King St Stephen of Hungary around 1030, was moved by the Habsburgs to Temesvár. The former Losonczy Square (now Unirii Square), rich in sights, is lined mainly with Baroque buildings built in the 18th century by the Austrian authorities. On the eastern side of the square is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St George, built between 1736 and 1765 with low towers to be kept out of the way of cannonballs during sieges. It was designed by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach from Vienna.
Between 1788 and 1790, during the Turkish-Austrian War, the church was a salt warehouse. The church was damaged during the siege of 1849, when the Hungarian army tried to liberate the town in the War of Independence. Inside, a painting by Michelangelo Unterberger from 1754 depicts St George on horseback fighting the dragon. The 6 side altars are by the German painter Johann Adam Schöpf. The organ was made in 1908 in Temesvár.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross Piarist Church and Monastery
History
In 1788, by order of Emperor Joseph II, the Piarist grammar school in Szentanna was moved to the monastery of the Bosnian Franciscans in Temesvár. The new building of the eight-grade high school was built in 1909 according to the designs of Székely László, Temesvár's chief architect, and Baumgarten Sándor from Budapest. In addition to the school, it included a monastery and a chapel. The chapel was consecrated on 20 January 1912. During the Second World War, the German, then the Romanian and Soviet armies occupied the building and the school equipment was completely destroyed. The school was nationalized in 1948. In 1992, the "Gerhardinum" Roman Catholic Theological Lyceum was opened there. The Piarist Order was only able to recover its stolen property in 2006, and today it houses the Pelbárt Roman Catholic Theological Lyceum in Temesvár.

Chapel of Virgin Mary, Memorial to Dózsa György
History
The chapel was built in 1906 in eclectic style according to the plans of Székely László, the chief architect of Temesvár. It is located next to the Reformed Church. The statue of Mary in the middle is the work of Kis György. The chapel was erected on the presumed place of Dózsa György's execution. Legend has it that at the time of Dózsa György's execution, the Virgin Mary appeared to the praying monks and serfs. Dózsa was the leader of the peasant uprising of 1514 and was burned on a throne of iron. Her image was then placed on a column and in 1906 a chapel was erected around it.

History
The church of St Catherine is the successor of the medieval church of the same patron saint. The medieval church was the burial place of the wife of King Charles I of Hungary, Mary Catherine, who died in the 14th century when Temesvár was the royal seat of Hungary for a short period. Temesvár and its region was populated by Hungarians until the Turkish occupation. The church belonged to the Franciscan monks of the Salvatorian order. In 1723, the church was demolished for the construction of the fortress and the monks moved to the centre of the town, where they built a new Baroque church on the site of an old mill between 1753 and 1756. Between 1887 and 1889 it was rebuilt in neoclassical style.

History
Temesvár has been the seat of the Serb Orthodox bishopric since 1748. The cathedral was built in the Baroque style under Serb Orthodox Bishop Gheorghie Popovici between 1745 and 1748, which is strange, especially as it is an Orthodox church, but the architectural style in 18th century Temesvár had to be uniformly Baroque. For political reasons, the towers were not rebuilt until 1791. The paintings are by the well-known Baroque church painter Constantin Daniel.

History
The only 18th century building on the south side of the square. In 1733, the salt office was built on its site. It was converted into the Chamber House, the west wing of which incorporates the building of the salt office. Between 1746 and 1747 it was converted into an enclosed courtyard building. It was then the regional branch of the Austrian Imperial Chamber. In 1754, it was adapted for civil administration and the interior was modified. The adjoining building of the Chamber Treasury was also joined to it. During the 1774 rebuilding, another wing was added, mirroring the old wing, so that it now had two enclosed inner courtyards. Soon afterwards it was used as a county hall. After the suppression of the Hungarian War of Independence, it was the seat of the Serb Vajdaság and Temes Bánság from 1849 to 1861, and then it became the seat of Temes County again. Between 1885 and 1886, the architect Jacques Klein removed the Baroque elements of the building, with modifications mainly affecting the main facade. The wing separating the two courtyards was also demolished. Since 2006, it has been home to the Temes Museum of Art.
Museum of Fine Arts:
The first painting was registered in the inventory of the Museum of Bánság in 1879. This was followed between 1888 and 1895 by donations from Ormós Zsigmond, one of the museum's founders. In 1943, the museum moved to a wing of the Palace of Culture and in 1947 to the Hunyadi Castle. In 1987, the Fine Arts Department of the Banat Museum moved to the western wing of the Baroque Palace. On 1 January 2006, the department was transformed into the Museum of Fine Arts with more than 8,500 exhibits.

History
The theatre was built between 1872 and 1875 in the neo-Renaissance style according to plans by the Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. It was originally named after Franz Joseph. The building also housed a ballroom, a concert hall, a hotel, a café and a restaurant. It was used jointly by the German and Hungarian companies, and from 1885 it had a permanent Hungarian company. It burnt down in 1880, but was rebuilt in its original form.
It burnt down again in 1920 and was only rebuilt in 1928 in the neo-Byzantine style, according to the plans of Marcu Duiliu, during which the interior was replaced and the exterior lost its former appearance. It was then that this mask was placed in front of the facade, behind which the original facade remains almost intact.
The building hosts performances of the Romanian Opera and the Mihai Eminescu Romanian National Theatre, while the former ballroom is home to the State German Theatre and the Csíky Gergely Hungarian Theatre.

The former Lloyd's Row (now Piața Victoriei) consists of two relatively long promenades, with a landscaped section between them. The western promenade was once the haunt of bourgeois families, with elegant restaurants and shops. Both promenades were lined with imposing blocks and apartment buildings erected after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. One such building is the Lloyd Palace, a four-storey Art Nouveau house built in 1912. It was built by the British insurance company Lloyd's, based on the designs of Baumhorn Lipót. The ground floor housed the Café Loyds, while the first floor was used for the insurance company's offices and a grain exchange. On the upper floors were luxury apartments. The café is still in use today, and above it is the Rector's office of the University of Technology.

Hunyadi Castle
History
In 1872, the newly-appointed ispán of Temes County, Ormós Zsigmond, founded the Historical and Archaeological Society of Southern Hungary and began to research the history of Bánság. He donated his private collections to the Society's museum and left a substantial sum to the Society in his will. The History Museum had had several locations over the years, before moving into the Hunyadi Castle in 1947. It has several departments: archaeology, history and natural history (with the largest collection of birds, butterflies and rocks in Eastern Europe). Two permanent exhibitions are devoted to old violins and the history of information and telecommunications technology.
The building stands on the site of the former castle built by King Charles I of Hungary in the early 14th century, when Temesvár was the capitol of Hungary for a short period. It became the property of Hunyadi János, who had it rebuilt between 1443 and 1447. Hunyadi János was the ispán of Temes County between 1441 and 1456. Between 1552-1716, during the Turkish rule, it was the seat of the Turkish military headquarters. Afterwards it was used as an artillery barracks and ammunition store. It was ruined by the siege of 1849 and was rebuilt in its present form in 1856. The castle is a two-storey rectangular building with an inner courtyard, next to the main square. Two bastions and a Tower remained by now.
In 2008, excavations began around the castle and in the courtyard. Here archaeologists discovered the ruins of a medieval castle.

History
Temesvár was retaken from the Turks by Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1716. The construction of the fortified city of Temesvár followed, lasting from 1723 to 1765. It was a Vauban-style regular star-shaped system fortified with nine bastions. It was enclosed by two outer defensive lines with moats between them. The fortified city was approached through three gates. The bastions were named Charles, Francis, Theresa, Joseph, Hamilton, Castle, Mercy, Eugene and Elizabeth, and the gates were named Vienna, Petrovaradin and Transylvania. Demolition of the fortifications began in 1892, and today only the Maria Theresa Bastion, built between 1730 and 1735, remains. It houses, among others, the ethnographic department of the village museum.

History
As the town is located in a marshy area, the provision of drinking water has been one of the biggest challenges for the town administration. Deep wells were considered to prevent the plague epidemic that was already decimating the population by providing clean drinking water. The contract for drilling the well here was awarded to industrialist Seidl Gyula, who owned a machine factory and also specialised in drilling wells. His men dug a 406 m deep well in 1890. At first it was an artesian well. The area around the well has changed several times.

History
Klapka György was born in this house on 6 April 1820. He was a Hungarian general of the War of Independence of 1848-49 and the captain of the fortress of Komárom, which was the last to surrender to the Austrian and Russian invasion forces. A commemorative plaque is on the wall of the house.
On 28 August 1823 the house became the property of Klapka József, father of Klapka György. Until that time, he and his first wife, Dávid Terézia, owned it jointly. Klapka József's first wife died in 1817. Klapka sold this house to Hertelendy Miksa in 1829. The Hertelendys built the courtyard parts; it remained in the Hertelendys' possession until 1859, when it passed into the possession of Pumrner Mátyás. In 1894, it was bought by Kossák József, one of the city's most famous photographers, who added a third floor to the two-storey building, and had the whole building remodelled in Renaissance style. The architect placed a plaque in the outer masonry of the 2nd floor, with the inscription: Built by Reiter Ede 1894.

Statue of Shame, Rukavina Memorial, Austrian Military Memorial
History
Temesvár, founded and inhabited by Hungarians during the Middle Ages, was rebuilt as a fortified military town by the Habsburgs after the expulsion of the Turks, where for a long time Hungarian settlement was forbidden. In 1848, the Hungarian Revolution was greeted with enthusiasm also in Temesvár, but the city was occupied by a large imperial army. In June 1849, the Hungarian army led by Vécsey Károly besieged the city. The siege lasted 107 days. By August the defenders were in a hopeless situation. They ran out of food and ammunition, the water supply was cut off by the besiegers, and a serious epidemic broke out among the defenders after they were forced to drink from the wells in the castle. Their leader, Imperial General Georg Rukavina, along with some 2,000 defenders, fell victim. The siege was ended by the Austrians under Haynau on 9 August, after their victory over the Hungarian War of Independence with the help of a huge Russian intervention army. On the occasion of Emperor Franz Joseph's visit in 1852, he personally laid the foundation stone of a monument commemorating the victory in one of the central squares of the town, which then bore the name of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The monument was designed by Josef Kranner and unveiled in 1853. To build it, the Baroque Plague Memorial Column, which the people of the town had had erected by vow, was dismantled. The statue's main figure was a woman holding the keys to Temesvár. Surrounding her were 4 statues representing the virtues of the defenders, and at her feet were figures of monsters snarling upwards. The monsters were repeatedly defaced by the townspeople, who knew that they represented the Hungarian soldiers trying to liberate the city, and poured pitch over them. The monsters were removed when the monument was redecorated in 1885. The citizens, however, would have had the whole monument removed. After the Romanian invasion, the side figures were removed and the head of the female figure was broken off. In 1936, the entire monument was dismantled and moved to the cemetery on Lippai Street, where many of the former defenders are buried.

Baroque Palace, Former County Hall, Museum of Fine Arts
History
The only 18th century building on the south side of the square. In 1733, the salt office was built on its site. It was converted into the Chamber House, the west wing of which incorporates the building of the salt office. Between 1746 and 1747 it was converted into an enclosed courtyard building. It was then the regional branch of the Austrian Imperial Chamber. In 1754, it was adapted for civil administration and the interior was modified. The adjoining building of the Chamber Treasury was also joined to it. During the 1774 rebuilding, another wing was added, mirroring the old wing, so that it now had two enclosed inner courtyards. Soon afterwards it was used as a county hall. After the suppression of the Hungarian War of Independence, it was the seat of the Serb Vajdaság and Temes Bánság from 1849 to 1861, and then it became the seat of Temes County again. Between 1885 and 1886, the architect Jacques Klein removed the Baroque elements of the building, with modifications mainly affecting the main facade. The wing separating the two courtyards was also demolished. Since 2006, it has been home to the Temes Museum of Art.
Museum of Fine Arts:
The first painting was registered in the inventory of the Museum of Bánság in 1879. This was followed between 1888 and 1895 by donations from Ormós Zsigmond, one of the museum's founders. In 1943, the museum moved to a wing of the Palace of Culture and in 1947 to the Hunyadi Castle. In 1987, the Fine Arts Department of the Banat Museum moved to the western wing of the Baroque Palace. On 1 January 2006, the department was transformed into the Museum of Fine Arts with more than 8,500 exhibits.

Maria Theresia Bastion, Museum of Bánság
History
Temesvár was retaken from the Turks by Prince Eugene of Savoy in 1716. The construction of the fortified city of Temesvár followed, lasting from 1723 to 1765. It was a Vauban-style regular star-shaped system fortified with nine bastions. It was enclosed by two outer defensive lines with moats between them. The fortified city was approached through three gates. The bastions were named Charles, Francis, Theresa, Joseph, Hamilton, Castle, Mercy, Eugene and Elizabeth, and the gates were named Vienna, Petrovaradin and Transylvania. Demolition of the fortifications began in 1892, and today only the Maria Theresa Bastion, built between 1730 and 1735, remains. It houses, among others, the ethnographic department of the village museum.

Indeed, when the Hungarians built a castle here in the 10th century, the Temes was still flowing by. Today, the river bypasses the town a few kilometres to the south, and the town is bisected by the B\u00e9ga Canal, built in the first half of the 18th century, when the surrounding marshes were drained. The seat of Temes County became the capital of Hungary for a short time in the early 14th century, when King Charles I moved his court here to escape the oligarchs ruling most of the country, notably Cs\u00e1k M\u00e1t\u00e9, and had a stone castle built. The castle, damaged in an earthquake, was repaired and strengthened by Hunyadi J\u00e1nos, who was appointed isp\u00e1n of Temes County in 1441. The castle still bears his name. In 1514, the army of D\u00f3zsa Gy\u00f6rgy, who led the greatest Hungarian peasant uprising, was crushed near the town and he himself was burnt here on a blazing iron throne. A chapel of Mary was erected on the site of his execution in 1906. The Hungarian town met its fate on 27 July 1552, when Captain Losonczy Istv\u00e1n, who had left the castle that became impossible to defend after 25 days of siege with the promise of free retreat, was slaughtered by the Turks with the town's entire population. Until the Romanian occupation, the main square of the town was called Losonczy Square in his honour. Temesv\u00e1r became the seat of an Ottoman province and was ruled by a Pasha until 1716, when it was captured from them by the imperial army of Prince Eugene of Savoy. During the Turkish Wars, the region called Temesk\u00f6z, once inhabited mostly by Hungarians, was completely depopulated and the town itself was destroyed in the siege. The Habsburgs created the Banate of Temes with the seat of Temesv\u00e1r in the area. The Hungarians were forbidden to return to the area, and it was repopulated with German, Serbian and Vlach settlers. The town was completely rebuilt and a modern star-shaped fortress was built around it. In 1732, it became the seat of the Bishopric of Csan\u00e1d, established by St Stephen of Hungary in the 11th century. In 1778, the area became part of Hungary again and Temes County was re-established, but the geographical area has been called B\u00e1ns\u00e1g (Banate) ever since. By the early 20th century, it had become the most multicultural region of Hungary. This was ended by the Trianon Dictate, which divided the Banate between Romania and Serbia. Since then the Germans have disappeared and the Hungarian population have dwindled.","nameorigin":"","history":"#1|@10th century|A hillfort was built with ramparts and palisades by the Temes River (now: B\u00e9ga Channel).@#3|@1212|The castle of Temesv\u00e1r (Castrum Temesiensis) and the castle county was mentioned for the first time in a letter of donation issued by King Andrew II of Hungary.@#5|@1266|Temesv\u00e1r was called Castrum Tymes in a document, when Hungary was ruled by King Stephen V.

Between 1885 and 1886, the architect Jacques Klein removed the Baroque elements of the building, with modifications mainly affecting the main facade.

In 1848, the Hungarian Revolution was greeted with enthusiasm also in Temesv\u00e1r, but the city was occupied by a large imperial army. In June 1849, the Hungarian army led by V\u00e9csey K\u00e1roly besieged the city. The siege lasted 107 days. By August the defenders were in a hopeless situation. They ran out of food and ammunition, the water supply was cut off by the besiegers, and a serious epidemic broke out among the defenders after they were forced to drink from the wells in the castle. Their leader, Imperial General Georg Rukavina, along with some 2,000 defenders, fell victim. The siege was ended by the Austrians under Haynau on 9 August, after their victory over the Hungarian War of Independence with the help of a huge Russian intervention army. On the occasion of Emperor Franz Joseph's visit in 1852, he personally laid the foundation stone of a monument commemorating the victory in one of the central squares of the town, which then bore the name of Prince Eugene of Savoy. The monument was designed by Josef Kranner and unveiled in 1853. To build it, the Baroque Plague Memorial Column, which the people of the town had had erected by vow, was dismantled. The statue's main figure was a woman holding the keys to Temesv\u00e1r. Surrounding her were 4 statues representing the virtues of the defenders, and at her feet were figures of monsters snarling upwards. The monsters were repeatedly defaced by the townspeople, who knew that they represented the Hungarian soldiers trying to liberate the city, and poured pitch over them. The monsters were removed when the monument was redecorated in 1885. The citizens, however, would have had the whole monument removed. After the Romanian invasion, the side figures were removed and the head of the female figure was broken off. In 1936, the entire monument was dismantled and moved to the cemetery on Lippai Street, where many of the former defenders are buried."},{"sightId":2470,"townId":66,"active":1,"name_LO":"","address":"Bulevardul Ion C.
