(Timișoara, 28.06.2025-30.06.2025) I have visited Timișoara several times, most recently in 2023, when Timișoara was European Capital of Culture. The university city is the historical, economic, and cultural center of Banat, a multi-ethnic border region between Romania, Serbia, and Hungary. The Romanian revolution against Nicolae Ceaușescu's communist dictatorship started here. Was Timișoara's designation as Capital of Culture just a flash in the pan? No, because the economic boom in Romania's third-largest city was already noticeable before that, and this trend has gotten stronger over the last two years. The biennial currently taking place and the rich cultural offerings are eagerly embraced by young and old alike – including me. Brutalism and lost places can also be found here. The S.T.P.T. tram depot will have to wait until my next visit to Timișoara.
