The area proposed to be investigated is that of the German settlement around the city of Carei in Sathmar county in Romania. In this area Swabians (Germans) settled starting 300 years ago (2012 was the anniversary). Literature on their stepwise settlement has been consulted. Carei was the headquarter of a mighty count. 1834 a strong earthquake occured, affecting the area. The count called Miklos Ybl, who was to become the most significant Hungarian architect, to reconstruct some of the landmarks, including churches. This was the start of his career. 2014 in Hungary it was national Miklos Ybl year, but the works on today's territory of Romania, such as in and around Carei, are less investigated.
The city of Carei was a count's residence who brought German immigrants from the Danube spring, about 100 years before a major earthquake affecting the area, which again caused reconstruction through the one who was to become the best known Hungarian architect of all times, Miklos Ybl. Born in 1814, the architect was young and the reconstruction work launched him as court architect of the Karolyi family, one of the mightiest in the Habsburg Empire of that time.
The routes of migration and the differences in architectural development in the two settlements are a good subject for psychogeographic representation such as at Guy Debord. The method applied for mapping started to be developed by Bostenaru and Panagopoulos (2013) and was continued as a cooperation between Bucharest and Karlsruhe in 2014 and 2015 (Bostenaru and Dill, 2014) for the area main test area. This research makes a continuation of the initial model by Bostenaru and Panagopolos (2013) which investigated an 18th century earthquake, the impact of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. The routes network implements the method of historical network research, which will be applied for the historical landmarks using the software ORA.
