Srpska Crnja (Serbian Cyrillic: Српска Црња; Hungarian: Szerbcsernye; Romanian: Cernea Neamț) is a village in Serbia, situated in central-east Banat alongside the border with Romania.
It is located in Nova Crnja municipality, Central Banat District, Province of Vojvodina.
Former German-populated settlement that is now part of this village was known as Nemačka Crnja (Немачка Црња) in Serbian, Deutsch-Zerne or Deutsch-Tschernja in German, and Németcsernye or Nemacske-Csernye in Hungarian.
In the 16th-17th century, it was part of the Ottoman Empire and administratively belonged to the Temeşvar Eyalet.
In the first half of the 18th century, this area was included into the Habsburg monarchy, but Crnja was without inhabitants in this time.
After communist prison camps were dissolved (in 1948), most of the remaining German population left Yugoslavia mainly because of economic reasons.
Since 1944, the area was part of Yugoslav Vojvodina, which, from 1945, was an autonomous province of new socialist Serbia within Yugoslavia.
As a result of the current bad economic situation in the Banat region, a sizable number of local Serbs is emigrating to large Serbian cities or to other countries (like Austria and Germany), searching for jobs.
