Cărpiniș (German: Weißbuchenau or Gertianosch; Hungarian: Gyertyámos; Serbian: Грћанош, romanized: Grćanoš; formerly Gertiamoș) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

The relatively smooth surface of the plain imprinted wandering courses with numerous arms and swampy areas on the flowing and retreating waters.

Cărpiniș's climate is classified as temperate and continental, characteristic of the southeastern part of the Pannonian Basin, with some sub-Mediterranean and oceanic influences.

[4] Being predominantly under the influence of maritime air masses from the northwest, Cărpiniș receives a higher amount of precipitation than those registered in the Wallachian Plain.

On the expanse of the commune, the forests are missing, but there are plants characteristic of the steppe:[4] As fauna, representative of this area are rodents, many of them harmful to crops (susliks, hamsters, voles, mole rats, hares), animals of prey (polecats, foxes, badgers), large mammals (deers) and ground-nesting birds (larks, buntings, bustards, quails, partridges).

[5] The village is destroyed in 1552 by the Ottoman troops led by Kara Ahmed Pasha; in the next two centuries, it appears as uninhabited place in local chronicles and on medieval maps.

[4] This ordinance was due to the fact that Empress Maria Theresa organized the two great colonizations in this area in 1740–1780; they were coordinated by the administration councilor Johann Wilhelm von Hildebrand.

[4] The authorities relocated Romanians and Serbs from Cărpiniș to Bazoș, in order to make room for the settlers, who also came from the neighboring villages of Iecea Mare and Lenauheim, but also from Luxembourg and Schwarzwald.
