Between August and October, church dedication festivals take place in many former German villages of the Banat (in western Romania). On October 19, the Evangelical community of Liebling celebrated its festival (pictures). On such occasions, the beautiful traditional costumes of the Banat Swabians are worn.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for sending us these beautiful pictures (photos from October 19, 2024) and the informative text accompanying them.

Lugoj (Hungarian: Lugos, German: Lugosch) is a commune in Timiș County in the historical region of Banat. It consists of the town of Lugoj and the villages of Măguri and Tapia.

The Church of the Dormition of the Mother of God, also known as the "Church with Two Towers," is a Romanian Orthodox church located at Victory Square in Lugoj. Built between 1759 and 1766 in Baroque style, it is one of the most remarkable Baroque buildings in Banat.

We thank Ms. Corinna Haisch / Adriana Weimer for sharing and allowing us to use these images.

There is a lot happening in summer and the city is looking forward to welcoming its guests. Next weekend the Flight Festival will take place, in two weeks the JAZZx Festival, and much more.

On July 19, 2025, the annual church festival of the city of Deta, in the historic Banat region, will take place. The city of Deta is located about 40 km south of Timișoara (just over an hour by car), always along national road 59.

Our thanks to Camping Casa Ferch Deta (facebook.com/p/Casa-Ferch-Deta-100057270287313) for this information.

Tradition and customs in the Banat—those who see the pictures without knowing the history of the Danube Swabians might believe they are somewhere in Germany, in the Swabian region. But no, these photos are from Romania.

Images from the Kirchweih festival in the community of Liebling, located in Timiș County in the historic Banat region. In the German communities of Banat, Kirchweih festivals are traditionally celebrated. On this occasion, the beautiful Swabian folk costumes are worn. If you travel through Banat from summer to autumn, visiting a Kirchweih festival is well worth it.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for providing these wonderful images and the accompanying text/explanation.

A walk through Timisoara... "The Little Vienna"... from a few days ago. The city on the Bega River is a cultural center in western Romania. As one of the few cities, it has three different theaters: a German, a Hungarian, and a Romanian one.

Timisoara, always beautiful and of course we also had to visit our probably biggest fan 😊 in Take Five Coffee / Bazara, Lucian Blaga Street 5, parallel to the street with the umbrellas.

The small cafe in the heart of the city, yet located on the first quiet side street, is always worth a visit. And besides the very nice hostess, you will find there, as you can see in the picture, not only our brochure "Holiday in Romania" but also avid readers of it 🥰🥰

If you want to visit Charlotenburg, you can find this place in the Romanian Banat, Timiș County.

Charlotenburg (or Sarlota, also Barita) is a village in the commune of Bogda, Timiș County. It is the only "round village" in Romania.

The village was founded by 32 families (171 people) who immigrated from Baden-Württemberg, Alsace-Lorraine, and the German-speaking Trentino. Its existence is mainly thanks to Count Karl-Ignaz von Clary and Aldringen, who was appointed President of the Banat Administration in 1769. The village was designed and built in a circular shape, with an inner diameter of 210 meters.

We thank Mr. Frank Schleßmann for providing these images and the corresponding (partial) text/explanation.

Pictures from today and yesterday from Ortisoara, a municipality directly on the county border between Timisoara and Arad. "Luna, apa si timpul" in the west of the commune, lies on a small river and two smaller lakes.

We thank Mr. Uwe Tauber, who is currently there, for the beautiful and current pictures. At the lakes there is a restaurant (quote: "with very friendly innkeepers") and, as you can see on the pictures, there is also a little space for a camper / tent there. According to the Google description, it is an event location / campsite.

Around 140 years ago, Timișoara / Temeswar already proved its uniqueness as a city in Europe.

On 12 November 1884, nearly 60 kilometers of streets in the city center of Timișoara were electrically illuminated with 731 lamps*. At that time, it was a record in Europe and the second place in the world after New York.

* The number of lamps and kilometers are based on various sources with the same statement found online.
** Of course, the lamps were smaller than the one shown in the picture. This lamp was placed only as a reminder and is no longer used for lighting in Timișoara.
