David Preston <banatmailer@...> updated the photo albumKeglewitschhausen: Keglewitschhausen is a small village about halfway between Tschanad and Altbeba. Keglewitschhausen is one of the westernmost villages in Romania, 3 km (2 miles) from the Hungarian border and 11 km (7 miles) from the Serbian border. In 1900 it had 1200 inhabitants (98% of them Germans), now it has only about 600 inhabitants, none of them German.The village was founded relatively late (only in 1844), with German families from nearby Tschanad. The village was named after count Gabriel Keglevich, who was then president of the Hungarian Royal Chamber and was responsible for settler affairs too.
