Elisabetin
Elisabetin ( hu, Erzsébetváros; german: Elisabethstadt) is a historic district of Timișoara. History The land on which Elisabetin is located today was ceded to the inhabitants of Cetate by ''Grundbrief des bürgerlichen Terrains'' (Deed of ownership of citizen lands) on 5 April 1718. Until after 1750, there were only three buildings in what is now Elisabetin: the Rosalia Chapel built in 1739–1740 (demolished in the 1960s), the Dissel House and the Cambiatura (a place for exchanging post-horses); of these, only the Dissel House is preserved to this day. Only after 1750, until 1770, a residential neighborhood appeared between the present-day Church Square and Cozia Street, south of the esplanade, the 948-meter-wide ''non ædificandi'' belt. The neighborhood was called Maierele Vechi ( hu, Régi Majorok; german: Alte Mayerhöfe) or Maierele Vechi Valahe and was inhabited by Romanians coming from Cetate (where they were no longer allowed to live) or Palanca Mică.

Elisabetin Roman Catholic Church
The Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Roman Catholic church in the Elisabetin district of Timișoara. Located in Nicolae Bălcescu Square, the neo-Gothic church was built between 1912 and 1919 after a project by architect Károly Salkovits. Holy Masses are celebrated in German, Hungarian and Romanian. The church is run by Salvatorian monks, a relatively young order founded in 1881 in Austria. History As early as 1899, an association for the construction of a Roman Catholic church was formed in the Elisabetin district. The collection of the necessary sums began at the ''La trei coroane'' restaurant, where a fundraising event was organized every year. In 1902, a piece of land was bought in the Grundhaus Square (present-day Nicolae Bălcescu Square) from George Buresch. For its construction, the bishop of Cenad, , assistant to the pontifical throne, donated 50,000 Kronen and requested that the church be of the Salvatorian Order.

Nicolae Bălcescu Square, Timișoara
The Nicolae Bălcescu Square is a square and junction in Timișoara. It is named after Romanian historian, writer and revolutionary Nicolae Bălcescu (1819–1852). The square is located in the Elisabetin district. Well-known buildings of the square are the Sacred Heart Church, a Roman Catholic church completed in 1919 and the ensemble of the Grigore Moisil Theoretical High School.

Empress Elisabeth Of Austria
Duchess Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie in Bavaria (24 December 1837 – 10 September 1898) was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary from her marriage to Emperor Franz Joseph I on 24 April 1854 until her assassination in 1898. Elisabeth was born into the royal Bavarian House of Wittelsbach. Nicknamed Sisi (also Sissi), she enjoyed an informal upbringing before marrying Emperor Franz Joseph I at the age of sixteen. The marriage thrust her into the much more formal Habsburg court life, for which she was unprepared and which she found uncongenial. Early in the marriage, she was at odds with her mother-in-law, Archduchess Sophie, who took over the rearing of Elisabeth's daughters, one of whom, Sophie, died in infancy. The birth of a son to the imperial couple, Crown Prince Rudolf, improved Elisabeth's standing at court, but her health suffered under the strain. As a result, she would often visit Hungary for its more relaxed environment. She came to develop a deep kinship ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Post Riders
Post riders or postriders describes a horse and rider postal delivery system that existed at various times and various places throughout history. The term is usually reserved for instances where a network of regularly scheduled service was provided under some degree of central management by the State or State licensed monopoly. These networks included predefined routes known as post roads complete with distance markers and waypoints. Unlike other forms of mounted courier, post riders collected and delivered mail over the course of their route, meeting with other riders at scheduled times and scheduled places to exchange forwarded items. In this way correspondence could pass reliably from rider to rider and cover a considerable distance in a reasonable time at reduced cost. While some integration with local postal services in larger centers occurred, by and large the post riders were a separate entity under separate management and tariff structure.
