Banat Swabians


The Banat Swabians[1]are part of the Danube Swabiansan a ethnic German population in Southeast Europe. In the 18th century they emigrated to what was then known as the Austrian Empire's Banat of Temeswar province, which was later included in the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary.

Please see my note below from June. Would love to be apart of this and do a page for Kathreinfeld, my grandparents village.

Eva, I was wondering if you'd allow me to do a page for my grandparents' village. I don't claim to know everything or even a lot about it but I'd like to take it on and I can learn about it as I work on the page. I'm already involved in the Donauschwaben Project and would like to get more active and involved.

Lori, you don't need anyone's permission here. Feel free to create a free space page about Kathreinfeld by clicking "Add" -> "New Free-Space".

Kind regards from Black Forest

Just seeing this, Florian. I'm very cautious about stepping on toes so I wanted to make sure it was okay. This was also before I joined the sub-project. I will see what I can do when I have some free time.

I'm also going to try to read thru your proposal on Banat locations. I have ADD, so I really have to have the time to focus.
