Banater Akten
In
the
Finanz
und
Hofkammerarchiv
(HKA)
[Finance
and
Court
Chamber
Archive]
in
Vienna
can
be
found
over
1600
pages
of
documents
from
the
period
1749-1804
which
are
designated
Banater
Akten.
They
include
the
Wiener
Listen
[Vienna
Lists]
or
Wiener
Abfertigungslisten
[Vienna
Passenger
Lists].
These
are
consignments
of
colonists
who
emigrated
through
Hungary,
not
only
into
the
Banat.
The
documents
list
surname,
given
name,
occupation,
place
of
origin,
age,
number
of
childen
and
destination
and
constitute
one
of
the
most
important
sources
for
Donauschwaben
research.
Schlafkreuzerrechnungen
A
small
portion
of
the
Banater
Akten
are
the
Schlafkreuzerrechnungen.
Close
study
reveals
that
there
are
93
individual
documents.
One
document
may
consist
of
one
or
several
pages
in
which
are
contained
names
and
house
numbers
of
homeowner-hosts
and
the
names
of
settlers
in
49
towns
in
the
Banat.
The
purpose
for
writing
the
SKR
was
twofold.
The
Austrian
government
who
had
called
the
new
settlers
into
the
Banat
before
their
new
homes
were
ready,
had
the
newcomers
move
in
with
the
already
established
settlers.
The
hosts
were
paid
one
"Kreuzer"
(a
small
denomination
of
Austrian
currency)
per
person
per
night
for
the
length
of
stay
of
their
guests.
Hence
the
coining
of
the
name
"Schlafkreuzerrechnung".
The
records
vary
considerably
in
content,
but
can
be
helpful
to
genealogists
because
they
usually
contain
the
name
and
house
number
of
the
host
in
the
particular
village,
dates
of
arrival
and
departure
of
the
new
settlers,
number
of
members
in
each
family,
and
may
contain
ages
and
occupations,
history
of
births,
deaths,
marriages,
and
the
name
and
house
number
of
the
new
residence
of
the
settlers.
