  • This video starts from a mortuary in the middle of the cemetery and follows a random path through the graves.
    Like the other Romanian cemeteries I've been to, paths are not a priority and some graves have inscriptions and mementos on both sides of the headstone.
    I came here in December 2022, and probably would have come anyway, but I came specifically for 2 reasons.
    There was a revolution in Romania in 1989 to over throw the communist president Nicolae Ceaușescu, which was successful and he was executed on 25 December 1989.
    The revolution started in Timișoara and peaked on 17 December, when many students and protesters were killed.
    While I wasn't born in 1989, that is my birthday.
    The cemetery has several memorials, the largest is for victims of this event and I have 2 videos posted here showing it and a few others of the military areas.
    The other reason was not as easy to find information on, in fact there doesn't seem to be anything in the actual cemetery at all.
    Near the main cathedral, across from the Timișoara town square, is a park now known as Anton Scudier Central Park.
    From 1738 to 1771 there was a civil and military cemetery covering that area, where about 9,000 people were buried, especially during the plague of 1738-9.
    That cemetery was closed after the development of the new cemetery in Calea Lipovei.
    A century later, the commander of the local region of Banat, General Anton von Scudier, ordered the bodies to be moved to the Calea Lipovei cemetery, and trees to be planted in the previous burial area to make a promenade park.
