DRAGOIESTI, SUCEAVA, ROMANIA

The city of Suceava is in the Suceava County seat in Bukovina, Moldavia region, in north-eastern Romania. The city was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia from 1388 to 1565.Dimitrie Cantemir in his famous work Descriptio Moldavie gives the origin of the name as Hungarian: Szűcsvár, meaning city of furriers. For nearly 200 years the city of Suceava was the capital of the Moldavian state and main residence of the Moldavian princes (between 1388 and 1565). The city was the capital of the lands of Stephen the Great, one of the pivotal figures in Romanian history, who died in Suceava in 1504. He built a church every time he defeated an enemy army. During the rule of Alexandru Lăpuşneanu, the seat was moved to Iaşi in 1565. Michael the Brave captured the city in 1600 during the Moldavian Magnate Wars in attempt to unite Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania, but he was defeated the same year and Suceava failed to become the capital again. Together with the rest of Bukovina, Suceava was under the rule of the Habsburg Monarchy (later Austria-Hungary) from 1775 to 1918; the border of Habsburg domains passed just south-east of the city. At the end of World War I, it became part of Greater Romania. During the communist period in Romania, Suceava was heavily industrialized. In the past few years Suceava started to evolve more rapidly. The most important sights in the town date from the time as a princely capital: Mirǎuti Church - founded in 1390 by Petru I of Moldavia, it is the oldest church in Suceava. Stephen the Great was crowned in this church in 1457 and the church remained the coronation church of Moldavia until 1522; Church of Saint George, part of the Monastery of Saint John the New - founded by Bogdan the One-eyed in 1514. It has frescoes painted on the outside, typical of the region, and is one of the seven churches listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Saint John the New was a Moldavian monk who preached during Turkish occupation and was subsequently martyred in Cetatea Alba, present-day Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in Ukraine. Alexander the Good brought his relics to Moldavia in 1415. The monastery serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Suceava and Radauti; Church of Saint Demetrius - this church was founded by Petru Rareş, the sun of Stephan the Great, in 1534, with a bell tower added in 1561, and the frescoes inside restored recently; Church of Saint John the Baptist - build by Basil the Wolf in 1643. There are numerous museums in the city: the Bucovina History Museum, the Bucovina Village Museum, the Bucovina Ethnographic Museum (housed in an inn from the 17th century), and the Natural History Museum. Furthermore, there is the Cetatea de Scaun or Princely Citadel, like the Mirǎuti Church founded by Petru I of Moldavia when he moved the capital from Siret to Suceava. Alexander the Good and Stephen the Great expanded the citadel, and it became strong enough to hold off an attack by Ottoman sultan Mehmed II (the conqueror of Constantinople), in 1476.

Dragoiesti school, Suceava

Drăgoieşti is a commune located in Suceava County, Romania. It is composed of three villages: Drăgoieşti, Lucăceşti and Măzănăeşti. The school in Drăgoieşti was built in 1871, with the lessons being taught in German, a general rule at that time in Bucovina. The only schools where the lessons were taught in Romanian in the proximity of Drăgoieşti were those from Ciprian Porumbescu and Ilişeşti, even if in Ilişeşti there was another school where the lessons were taught in German. At the beginning, the school in Drăgoieşti functioned in private houses, first being organized in one classroom, then later in three classrooms, where the children of the local people were gathered. This situation is encountered until somewhere at the beginning of the 20th century, more exactly in 1909, when the old building of the Drăgoieşti school is built, with seven rooms, which make up the classrooms, the teachers’ room and the annexes rooms. Towards the beginning of the World War II and during it, the Drăgoieşti School had much to suffer. The local population was evicted, the school staff was taken on the front, which makes it impossible for the educational process to take place for a long period of time. After the World War II, the reorganisation of the countryside institutions began, amongst which was also the school. The number of students from the village rose. In 1947, the lessons were taught at Drăgoieşti in several classrooms and it had nine subjects. A new situation appeared in the school year 1948-1949, at the moment when a new reform took place. In 1955 the new building of the village school was built, as a result of the growth in number of students, the new building having several classrooms , absolutely necessary for the educational process. Some of the most respectable and cherished teachers who shared to the students of Drăgoieşti the secrets of the world of knowledge were Sofronie Brădăţan and Alexandra Brădăţan ( in 1914), the teacher Făgăraş and Veninschi with his wife ( in 1925) and Emil Movileanu (in 1950) was the headmaster of the Drăgoieşti school for twenty five years. Nowadays, most of the teachers working at this school are not from Drăgoieşti.
