Name
In Serbian, the town is known as Titel (), in Hungarian as Titel, in German as Titel (and
sometimes Theisshgel), and in Latin as Titulium.

History
The Titel Plateau is an elevated region between the Danube and Tisza rivers, close to the
confluence; about 16 by 7 kilometres (9.9 by 4.3 miles); roughly 80 square kilometres (31 square
miles). It has an ellipsoid form and is characterized by steep slopes at the margins. It has a
substantial loess cover and is often called the Titel Loess Plateau; the loess on the plateau is
considered to contain the most detailed terrestrial palaeoclimate records in Europe, with a thick and
apparently continuous record extending to the middle and late Early Pleistocene.[3] It represents a
major archaeological site at the Danube-Tisza confluence with prehistoric and ancient findings.[4]
Early medieval sources are scarce. Slavs are mentioned in the area in the late 7th and early 8th
century, while Magyars (Hungarians) settled the Pannonian Plain in 896, already in the next century
holding the Tisa-Danube confluence. Grand Prince rpd (r. 895907) is believed to have defeated
the Bulgars (Salan) at Titel. Titel was an important strategical location, and was included in the
Bcs County. Ladislaus I of Hungary (r. 107795) and his brother Lampert founded an Augustinian
monastery here. On 17 October 1389 a Clement was inscribed at the Vienna University, who in
Titel taught reading and cantillation. In 1439 Albert II's army awaited in Titel military aid from the
county to help ura Brankovi defend Smederevo, but the aid never arrived.[5]
From 1526, the town was part of the Ottoman Empire. According to the first Ottoman census from
1546, the town had 87 houses, of which most were Serb, three were Croat, one Hungarian, and one
Vlach. The duke of the town was Vuk Radi. That census recorded that five of the citizens were
immigrants, meaning that others lived there before Ottomans conquered the town.
In the outset of the Ottoman rule, the town had one Orthodox and one Catholic church. In the first
quarter of the 17th century, the town had three mosques, two tekkes and three medreses.
From 1699, the town was part of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was included in the Habsburg Military
Frontier. Between 1750 and 1763, the town was under civil administration (in the Batsch-Bodrog
County of the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary), until it was returned to the jurisdiction of the
Military Frontier (ajka Battalion).
In 1848 and 1849, Titel was part of Serbian Vojvodina, a Serb autonomous region within the
Habsburg Empire. Between 1849 and 1872, it was again part of the Military Frontier, and after
1872, it came under civil administration as a part of the Bcs-Bodrog County within the Habsburg
Kingdom of Hungary (part of Austria-Hungary).
After 1918, the town became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and subsequent
South Slavic states. During the World War II Hungarian occupation, in a 1942 raid, 51 inhabitants
of the town were murdered, of whom 45 were men, 1 child, and 5 old people. By nationality,
victims included 49 Serbs, and 1 Jew.
