Abstract
After the First World War, radical changes took place in Central Europe, which also affected the great Hungarian landowners, who owned numerous lands and other assets in the territories that had separated from Hungary in the fall of 1918. In Transylvania, a large part of these landowners, who settled in Hungary, were considered absentees, and their assets were expropriated by the Romanian state in accordance with the agrarian reform law of 1921. Among the large expropriated owners was Christina Wenckheim, who owned the Sebiș-Moneasa estate, which it included both agricultural land and forests, as well as the spa resort of Moneasa, mines, railways and other industrial assets. Through this study we tried to determine the way in which Christina Wenckheim and her descendants tried to obtain compensation for the assets expropriated by the Romanian state.
