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 children and destination and constitute one of the most important sources for Donauschwaben research.
