Pișchia (Hungarian: Hidasliget or Piski; German: Bruckenau) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

At the census made by the Austrians in 1717, immediately after their conquest of Banat, the locality called Peschkan had only eight houses left.

[5] Shortly after the installation of the Austrian administration, under the leadership of Count Mercy, in 1724, the first colonization of Pișchia with Germans took place.

[5] It is the beginning of the colonizations of Banat and Pișchia enters the plan of Germanization of the chain of villages between Lipova and Timișoara, with strategic-military purpose.

The settlers were given a place to live, arable land and household tools, which they would redeem within three years and at low rates.

Christian Crusius [de]' Topographisches Post-Lexikon (1804) speaks of the locality, saying "Bruckenau which is also called Piskia, near Timișoara, not far from Giarmata, with hills and many vineyards, with mineral waters.

The forests within the village belonged to the royal estates and thus Pișchia was often visited by high dignitaries and even by kings.

[4] During the interwar period, especially between 1922–1924, many poor German families from Pișchia emigrated to the United States, Canada, Argentina and Brazil.
