 Freidorf - Wikipedia
Freidorf ("satul liber" în gemană) este un cartier din Timişoara, amplasat în partea de sud-vest a oraşului.
Cartierul a fost iniţial o comună germană, înfiinţată în 1723 şi scutită de impozite, ceea ce i-a dat şi numele de Freidorf.
La ieşirea din cartierul Freidorf spre Utvin a fost construită în perioada comunismului o fabrică de zahăr iar în jurul acesteia s-a dezvoltat un mic cartier muncitoresc, pe strada Polonă.

 Johnny Weissmuller Summary
Official Olympics sources say he was born in Windber, Pennsylvania, on June 2, 1904, but there is credible evidence that he was born at Freidorf, near Timisoara, Romania, and emigrated with his parents to the United States as a young child.
It is believed by biographer David Fury and others that Weissmuller's parents later switched his identity with that of his American-born brother in order to qualify him for the U.S. Olympic team.
He was registered as János Weißmüller when he was born in Freidorf, Banat, at the time part of Austria-Hungary (today a suburb of Timişoara, Romania), the son of German-speaking parents, Petrus Weißmüller and Erzsébet Kersch, according to his Hungarian birth and (Roman Catholic) baptismal records.
