Antonie Moisei (Ukraine, Bukovinian State Medical University in Chernivtsi/Cernăuți, Department of Social Sciences and Ukrainian Studies) puts forth a monographic analysis of Roșa, a former settlement currently incorporated into the municipal boundaries of Cernăuți/Chernivtsi, inhabited by Romanians and Germans (Bukowinadeutsche). Methodologically, the research is twofold, targeting both documentary research in Ukrainian National Archives (Romanian, German and Ukrainian records from the 19th and 20th century) and c. 25-40 oral interviews with local elderly people on the topic of spiritual heritage. Roşa settlement is situated on the western outskirts of Cernăuți/Chernivtsi. It was documented as a village under Moldavian rule in the 14th century, probably protected by Țețina (Ceciun) citadel. Once the fortress was destroyed (shortly after 1480), Roșa declined, and the number of inhabitants decreased considerably. When the region came under the administration of the Austrian Empire (1774-1918), the depopulated village was resettled with German colonists from Swabia and Banat, leading to its economic regeneration. The status of Roşa as a ‘Dominium’ (feudal dependence on Cernăuți/Chernivtsi) caused long-term conflicts regarding the tithe between the peasants and the urban administration (a topic probably documented in the archives, still unexplored). In 1847 Roșa became a suburb of the nearby city, preserving its multi-ethnic and pluri-confessional character. This case study will highlight the transformative nature of cultural heritage over several centuries of political and social change
