Ronaț
45°45′22″N 21°10′13″E / 45.7561888°N 21.1702519°E Ronaț (Hungarian: Rónáctelep; German: Ronaz)[1] is a district located on the western outskirts of Timișoara. It is a district where houses and villas predominate, which means a low population density.[2]
History[edit]
A rural settlement from the Daco-Roman era (2nd–4th centuries AD) and an incineration necropolis from the Early Middle Ages (10th–11th centuries) were discovered here in the 1980s.[3] Both were listed in the National Register of Historic Monuments in 2004.[4]
Ronaț appeared around 1900 as a workers' colony. The history of this district is closely linked to CFR, most of Ronaț's inhabitants being at some point its employees and their families.[5] The CFR Pavilions were built in the 1930s. Initially, they served as homes for CFR staff, being later converted into a halt mainly for commuters.[6] The current station, from which Ronaț got its name, is today a freight terminal.[7] During the communist period, Ronaț was proposed for demolition, the tram line was removed and construction permits were no longer issued.[8]
