Knićanin

After the abolishment of the frontier in 1873, the village was included into Torontál County, which was administratively a part of the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary.

Before the end of the World War II, the population of the village was mainly composed of ethnic Germans (Danube Swabians).

At the end of World War II, in 1944, one part of local Danube Swabian inhabitants left from the area, together with defeated German army.

[2][3][4][5] After communist prison camps were dissolved in 1948 due to the pressure of the Red Cross and the Vatican,[6] most of the remaining German population left Yugoslavia.

A memorial dedicated to internees who died in the prison camp was constructed nearby in 1998 with an inscription in both Serbian and German.

The larger sign on the memorial reads: "Here rest our fellow citizens of German descent, who died of hunger, sickness, and cold in the camp Knićanin from 1946 to 1948.
