Gospođinci

Gospođinci (Госпођинци) is a village in the municipality of Žabalj, in the South Bačka District of Serbia. It is situated in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The village has a Serb ethnic majority and its population is 3,896 (2002 census).

Name

Its name derived from the Serbian word "gospođa" ("lady" in English). In Serbian, the village is known as Госпођинци or "Gospođinci", in Croatian as "Gospođinci", in Hungarian as "Boldogasszonyfalva", and in German as "Frauendorf".

Features

This is a typical Vojvodinian village with its inhabitants mostly working in agriculture or in the capital of Vojvodina, Novi Sad. Most of the village streets are straight from one end to another with houses built one next to the other.

History

From the time of the Roman Empire just outside the village, on the west, lies the trench which Romans have used for transport. During the Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), the village of Gospođinci was populated by ethnic Serbs. During the Habsburg rule in the 18th and 19th century, the village belonged to the Military Frontier province (the Šajkaš Battalion section).

Since 1918, the village was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and subsequent South Slavic states. During the Hungarian Axis occupation, in 1942 raid, 85 inhabitants of the village were murdered, of whom 47 were men, 19 women, 15 children, and 4 old people. By nationality, victims included 73 Serbs, 10 Jews, and 2 Rusyns.

As the data from 1981 to 1991 shows, the village had greater mortality rate then natality, which was, and still is, the main problem in whole of Vojvodina, due to dropping of standard caused by the death of Josip Broz Tito, and the communists ideals, which led to escalating crysis in former SFR of Yugoslavia. However, the data from 1991 to 2002 shows population increase caused by the Serb refuges from Bosnia and Croatia who settled in the village during the Yugoslav wars. Fact|date=April 2007
