Nițchidorf (literally "Niczky's village"; German: Nizkydorf; Hungarian: Niczkyfalva, originally Kutas) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.
[2] Traces of a fortress were discovered on the nearby Schlossberg ("Castle Hill"; Romanian: Dealul Cetății).
According to Hungarian historians Samu Borovszky [hu] and Felix Milleker, quoted by Nicolae Ilieșiu [ro], there was a medieval settlement here, attested in 1370 with the name Kwtus.
The current village was founded in 1784–1786 during the third wave of colonization of Banat, under Emperor Joseph II.
The exodus of the Germans began after World War II and accelerated in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
