Parcul Regina Maria in Timișoara is the oldest park in the city and was laid out around 1850 on the initiative of Count Johann von Coronini-Cronberg. The Art Nouveau entrance gate, built in 1910, is an outstanding architectural feature. It is located directly opposite the Neptune Palace.

The building, also known as Neptune Baths or Baia Publica Neptun, is located in the Fabrick district of Timisoara. It was built between 1912 and 1914 according to the plans of architect Laszlo Szekely and is a beautiful example of Viennese Art Nouveau, also known as Secession style. Originally, the building served as a modern public swimming pool. Today, it houses various offices, apartments, and a restaurant.

The impressive bell tower of the Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Timisoara (in Romanian: Biserica Nasterea Maicii Domnului) houses six historic bells from 1936, which ring out in a harmonious arpeggio. As a freestanding structure, it complements the Byzantine-inspired architecture of the church and is considered a striking landmark of the Elisabetin district.

The Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the city of Timisoara was built according to plans by architect Karl Salkovics. Construction of the neo-Gothic building began in 1912, was delayed due to World War I, and was finally completed in 1919. Originally part of the Josefstadt parish, the church was granted the status of an independent parish. Masses are held in German, Hungarian, and Romanian in the church.

The Orthodox Church of the Ascension, known in Romanian as Biserica “Inaltarea Domnului,” is located in the Mehala district of Timisoara.

Particularly striking are the central dome and the six towers, which give the church a distinctive silhouette.

Just a few kilometres from Timișoara, in Timiș County in the Romanian Banat region, lies the village of Charlotenburg (also known as Sarlota). Charlotenburg is unique: it is considered Romania’s only “round village”. It was founded in 1771 by 32 families – a total of 171 people – who immigrated from Baden-Württemberg, Alsace-Lorraine and the German-speaking Trentino region.

The village was founded primarily by Count Karl-Ignaz von Clary und Aldringen, who was appointed president of the Banat administration in 1769. According to his plan, a village was built in a perfect circle with an inner diameter of around 210 metres.

We would like to thank Mr Frank Schleßmann for sending us these pictures and the corresponding (partial) text/explanation.

Today, the tower is a listed building and is increasingly being used for cultural events.
