'''Timişoara''' (pronunciation in [[Romanian language|Romanian]]: [[Media:Timisoara.ogg|{{IPA|/timiˈʃo̯ara/}}]]; [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]: ''Temesvár'', [[German language|German]]: ''Temeschburg'', ''Temeswar'', or ''Temeschwar'', [[Bulgarian language|Bulgarian]]: Тимишоара, [[Serbian language|Serbian]]: Темишвар, ''Temišvar'', [[Banat Bulgarian]]: ''Timišvár'', [[Turkish language|Turkish]]: ''Tamışvar-Tamişvar'' or ''Temeşvar''), also known as "The City of Athletes", is a city in the [[Banat]] region of western [[Romania]]. It is the capital of [[Timiş County]].
With 307,347 inhabitants, Timişoara is the 4th largest city in [[Romania]] after [[Bucharest]], [[Iaşi]] and [[Cluj-Napoca]]. It is a large economic and cultural center in [[Banat]] in the west of the country.
It is a multicultural city with influential minorities, primarily [[Magyar people|Hungarians]], [[Ethnic Germans|Germans]], and [[Serbs]], as well as [[Italians]], [[Arabs]], [[India]]ns, [[Banat Bulgarians|Bulgarians]], [[Romani people|Roma]] people, [[Jewish people|Jews]] and [[Greeks]].
The city is also called "Little Vienna", because it belonged for a very long time to the [[Habsburg Empire]] and the entire city center consists of buildings built in the [[Kaiser]] era, which is reminiscent of the old [[Vienna]]. Timişoara is an important university center with the emphasis on subjects like medicine, mechanics and electro-technology. An industrial city with extensive services, it was the first European city to be lit by [[electric]] street lamps in 1884. It was also the second European and the first city in what is now Romania with horse drawn trams in 1867. There are numerous claims that [[Gustave Eiffel]], the creator of the [[Eiffel Tower]] in [[Paris]], built one of Timişoara's [[footbridge]]s over the [[Bega River (Tisza)|Bega]].
The old city consists of historic city quarters with several historic squares and proms. These are: Cetate (Belváros in Hungarian, Innere Stadt in German), Iosefin (Józsefváros, Josephstadt), Elisabetin (Erzsébetváros, Elisabethstadt), Fabric (Gyárváros, Fabrikstadt). Numerous bars, clubs and restaurants have opened in the old center in the fine old baroque square.
==Name==
All of the variants of its name derive from the [[Timiş River]], known in [[Roman Empire|Roman Antiquity]] as river ''Tibisis'' or ''Tibiscus''. The evolution of the river name from antiquity (with the phonetic change "b" → "m") can be explained by the transition of [[Latin]] into Old [[Romanian language|Romanian]]. Although the [[Bega River (Tisza)|Bega]] passes through Timisoara, the city received its name from the Timiş river because at the time of the setting of the name, the Bega and Timiş river's paths were very much mixed up. It is frequently spelled in [[English language|English]] simply as Timisoara (without the diacritical mark beneath the s which actually produces a "sh" sound as in "shape").
==History==
{{main|History of Timişoara}}
[[Image:Timisoara fountain.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A fountain in the centre of Timişoara]]
[[Image:Fn wagner-tm.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Timişoara in a 1685 engraving by Wagner]]
In the Roman period, in the place where Timişoara is today, or in its immediate proximity there was a military camp named Zambara or Zurobara.<ref>[http://www.onf.fr/europe/life-urbanwoods/pdf/Urban_wood_modern_life%20_Roumanie.pdf Urban wood and modern life- the example of Timisoara City] by Gheorghe Florian Borlea, Radu Brad, and Oliver Merce - Forest Research & Management Institute- ICAS Timisoara, RO</ref> During the time of the invasions of the nomad tribes from the Central-Asian plains, especially that of the [[Eurasian Avars|Avars]], on the site of the ruins of Zambara, a new settlement, called Beguey, was built.
In 1019 the locality of Dibiscos/ Bisiskos/ Tibiskos/ Tibiskon/ Timbisko/etc., presumed to be the future Timisoara , was mentioned for the first time in written documents of the [[Byzantine Emperor]] [[Basil II]], although not all historians do agree with this identification. In 1154, the Arabian geographer Sarif [[Muhammad al-Idrisi|al Idrisi]] mentioned the city telling that "it is a nice city offering a lot of riches". The first mention of the fort of Timişoara ''(Castrum Temesiensis)'' is found in the decree of King [[Andrew II of Hungary]] dating from 1212. Timişoara itself was first mentioned in official documents as a city in 1474. It was conquered by the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottomans]] in 1552 and remained under their control until it was taken by the Habsburg army led by the Prince [[Eugene of Savoy]] in 1716.
The demographic conditions of the region changed dramatically during the 167 year of Ottoman rule. In 1582, the city of Temeswar, in spite of the bloody siege, still had a Hungarian majority (the chief judge was István Herczegh<ref>Preyer, Johann N.: Monographie der königlichen Freistadt Temesvar, 1853</ref>). Later, the largest ethnic group in the city were Muslim Turks, and other smaller groups included Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies.<ref name="popo">Dr. Dušan J. Popović, ''Srbi u Vojvodini'', knjige 1-3, Novi Sad, 1990 </ref>
After the city was occupied by the [[Austrian Empire]], the Turkish population fled. Of the remainder, we know of about 600-700 inhabitants out of which 446 were Serbs, 144 Jewish, and 35 Armenians. <ref>According to captain Graf Paolo Wallis - Neumann, Victor: ''Istoria evreilor din Banat''. Buc. 1999 </ref> The "Armenische Stadt" as a separate quarter existed until the [[Great Plague of 1738]].
According to the 1720 data, the largest ethnic group in the city was Serb. Other smaller groups included Romanians and Jews; there were no Hungarians or Germans in the city at that time.<ref name="popo"/> Later, many Germans settled in the city, and gradually they became the largest ethnic group.
In 1718, the first beer factory in Transylvania was built. The first [[tobacco]] [[mill (factory)|mill]] in today's Romania was set up in Timişoara. Between 1728 and 1771 a canal [[Bega]] was built to unite the city with the [[Danube]] river. In 1849 Timişoara became the capital of the Austrian crownland of [[Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat]] as the result of the [[Spring of Nations]] revolution; the province was ethnically extremely diverse, as its population was made up of [[Romanians]], [[Germans]], [[Serbs]], and [[Hungarians]]. The crownland was abolished in 1860 and passed to Hungarian rule in 1867 with the creation of the [[dual monarchy]].
The city was also the first city in the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] to have public lighting using suet candles and lamps with oil and grease. Timişoara also became the first city in Europe to have electric public lighting on the 12th of November 1884,<ref>{{cite web
| title =Timisoara the Capital of Banat| publisher =Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy| url =http://www.umft.ro/en/general_information/timisoara's_history.html| accessdate =2007-12-31 }}</ref> (four years after [[New York City]]). A tram hauled by horses also came into service around this period. Meanwhile, in 1869 Timişoara was also the first city in the [[Kingdom of Hungary]] to have an ambulance station.
[[Image:Timisoara Sreet Light Description.jpg|thumb|right|100px| A street light description]]
In 1910, the town had 72,555 inhabitants: 31,644 (43.6%) Germans, 28,552 (39.3%) Hungarians (most probably including the Hungarian speaking Jews) , 7,566 (10.4%) Romanians and 3,482 (4.8%) Serbs.<ref>''Atlas and Gazetteer of Historic Hungary 1914'', [http://www.talmakiado.hu/ Talma Kiadó]</ref>
After [[World War I]], the town was occupied by [[Serbia]]n troops in [[November 24]], [[1918]]. They withdrew from the city on [[July 26]], [[1919]] and the Romanian army entered the city on [[August 3]] after an ultimatum of the Romanian government. This situation was confirmed by the [[Treaty of Trianon]].
During the next decades as a result of the city's development and of population movements from the Romanian villages of the surrounding region and from other regions of the country, Romanians became the majority in the city. A relative Romanian majority was first recorded in the 1941 census. After the [[Second World War]] many ethnic Germans emigrated in Germany, also almost all of the Jews emigrated to Israel and to the West. Timişoara's population has more than tripled over the last 50 years (it was slightly more than 90,000 at 1930 census), while the percentage of Magyars (Hungarians) has decreased from 30% to 7.5%, the Germans' from 30% to 2% and the Jews from 8% to almost 0%.
On [[December 16]], [[1989]] many citizens of the town came to support the Hungarian [[Calvinist]] [[pastor]] [[László Tőkés]] against the authorities and [[Securitate]] (secret police)'s decision to deport him. In these circumstances on 17th December a popular uprising started in Timişoara against the [[Communist]] regime of [[Nicolae Ceauşescu]]. This was the beginning of the [[Romanian Revolution of 1989]], which put an end to the Communist regime a week later.
==Demographics==
Timişoara has a population of 303,200 (2006). The average annual population growth is -1,5%. 14,2% of the population are under 15 years of age, 4.0% are old over 75.

==Economy==
[[Image:Iulius Mall.jpg|thumb|200px|Iulius Mall with its 210 shops is one of the largest shopping centres in Romania<ref>[http://www.iuliusmall.com/timisoara/ IuliusMall] {{ro icon}}</ref>]]
Timişoara has been a strong economic center since the 18th century when the [[Habsburg]] administration was installed. Due to the Austrian colonization, the ethnic and religious diversity and the innovation of laws, the economy began to develop. The technicians and craftsmen that settled in the city established guilds and helped develop the city’s economy.
During the [[Industrial Revolution]] most of the modern innovations were introduced. It was the first city with streets illuminated in the monarchy, and the first city of [[Europe]] illuminated by electric light. In this period the [[Bega River (Tisza)|Bega]] river was channelled - [[Bega canal]]. It was the first navigable canal in the recent Romanian territory. In this way the city had contact with Europe, and even with the world through the Black Sea. This led to the evolution of commercialism.
In the 19th century the railway system of the [[Hungarian Kingdom]] reached Timişoara. It is the first city in today’s Romania with international routes. In this way the city had all the needs for commercialism.
In recent years, Timişoara has enjoyed a significant [[economic boom]] as the number of foreign investments, especially in [[high-tech]] sectors, has risen constantly. It is frequently considered the second most prosperous city in [[Romania]] (following Bucharest) and there have been frequent debates on whether the so-called "Timişoara Model" could be applied to other cities. In an article in late 2005, French magazine ''L'Expansion'' called [http://www.lexpansion.com/art/6.0.133980.0.html Timişoara Romania's economic showcase], and referred to the increased number of foreign investments as a "second revolution".
Apart from the several local investments, many substantial investments from the [[European Union]] take place in Timişoara, particularly from [[Germany]] and [[Italy]], as well as from the [[USA]]. [[Continental AG]] has produced tires here for several years. The company [[The Linde Group|Linde]] produces technical gases, and a part of the wiring moulds for [[BMW]] and [[Audi]] vehicles are produced by the company [[Draexelmaier]]. The US company [[Solectron]] maintains a large workplace in the west of the city for the production of mobile telephony and government inspection department devices. The American company [[Procter & Gamble]] manufactures washing and cleaning agents in Timişoara. The [[Swiss]] company [[Nestlé]] produces waffles here.

The city is connected to a series of major European and domestic destinations. Timişoara is a major railway centre and is connected to all other major Romanian cities, as well as local destinations, through the national [[Căile Ferate Române]] network.
