МОЛИН – СЕЛО КОЈЕ ЈЕ НЕСТАЛО ИЗ СРЕДЊЕГ БАНАТА
MOLIN – THE VILLAGE THAT DISAPPEARED FROM THE CENTRAL BANAT

Summary/Abstract: In the area of central Banat, the municipality of Nova Crnja, village of Molinexisted until the mid-20th century. Specifically, the village existed until 1957, when itwas forced to displace. The village and municipality Molidorf (Molin) was founded byCount Ferraris with his wife in 1833, settling exclusively German immigrants. Molin is oneof the few villages in the Banat which disappeared after World War II. The cause of thisforced displacement is high groundwater, which is in some parts of village area only 1.1 m below the surface. The most critical were the lowest points of the village where groundwater was only 0.5 m below the surface. Due to the extremely high rainfall in 1955, andlong-term retention of snow cover at the beginning of 1956 and high rainfall in June of the same year, floods in that year were great. According to the latest census in 1953, thevillage of Molin had 1,121 inhabitants.
