Triebswetter “Heimatbuch der Heidegemeinde Triebswetter im Banat ” by Dr. Anton Peter Petri & Dr. Josef Wolf; Germany, 1983 by The Association of Former Residents of Triebswetter. English Title: “Triebswetter A Village in the Banat” It’s Past and It’s People. Translated by Henry Fischer, edited by Ray Borschowa & Karen Preston. Published in July 2016 by Ray Borschowa.
Ray Borschowa Comments: It covers the history of Triebswetter from the time of its founding in 1772 up through the Baragan deportation in the 1950s. It has many tables, name lists of people, the original colonists and where they came from, 115 pictures and two maps in the back. When writing this book the authors had access to the parish history book, the Historia parochiae, and other parish archived material so it is more detailed than many of the homeland books. Since Triebswetter was primarily settled by French colonists, the situation of the French in the Banat is covered quite well, and it includes the “French Movement” that took place during and after World War II. This book should be of particular interest to those who are descendents of Triebswetter, as well as those who are interested in the history of any of the Banat villages, particularly the French villages in the Banat.
It is hard cover book printed on high quality paper. With the front section included, it is 486 pages. Printed and bound in Portland, Oregon USA. For further details, or if you want to order a copy, contact Ray Borschowa.
