Lovrin (German: Lowring, formerly Lorandhausen; Hungarian: Lovrin, formerly Lóránthalma) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Lovrin. It also included three other villages – Gottlob, Tomnatic, and Vizejdia – until 2004, when they were split off to form Gottlob and Tomnatic communes.
The commune itself is a significant railway junction served by local railway lines radiating in five directions. It is an agro-industrial and urban center for the surrounding region.[4] Until the early 1990s, the majority of inhabitants were of German descent, but emigration has significantly reduced their numbers.
