History and etymology

The first written mention was in 1326 under the name Machiaka . At the time the Banat was taken over by the Turks (1552), the residents of the place fled. In the years 1770–1771 there was an immigration of German settlers. They gave the newly founded village the name Blumenthal . The name Blumenthal was also to be found in the first community temple. Around the years 1834-1834 one found in the changed community temple , the name Virag Völgye (Virag = flower, Völgye = valley), the direct translation from the German Blumenthal. In the years 1874–1875, the stamp, which has now been changed again, said Blumenthal above and Máslak below . The current name is Mașloc . 1770–1771, 95 houses were built on the newly developed area for the Blumenthal village complex.

school

The first school was built in 1771. The language of instruction in this elementary school was German from the start. Six and later seven classes were housed in the classrooms. In 1890 the school building fell victim to a fire. A year later a new, larger school building was built. After the Viennese court administration had left the Banat to the Hungarians , they tried again and again to change the language of instruction to Hungarian. This only succeeded in Blumenthal in 1907. After the end of the First World War , Blumenthal was allocated to Romania as a result of the Treaty of Trianon and German schools were re-admitted. The changeover to the German language took place in the 1918–1919 school year.

As a result of the Waffen-SS Agreement of May 12, 1943 between the Antonescu government and Hitler's Germany , all men of German origin who were conscripted into the German army. Before the end of the war, in January 1945, all ethnic German women between the ages of 18 and 30 and men between the ages of 16 and 45 were deported to the Soviet Union for reconstruction work .

After Romania had made the transition from the Western powers to the Allies on August 23, 1944 , during World War II , the German population lost all rights. As a result, the language of instruction in the school years 1944/1945 and 1945/1946 was Romanian. The Land Reform Act of March 23, 1945 , which provided for the expropriation of German farmers in Romania, deprived the rural population of their livelihoods. In the school years 1946/1947 and 1947/1948 there was again a German denominational school. According to the new school law, all denominational schools were banned in 1948 and a state school with German as the language of instruction was established. Through the nationalization law of June 11, 1948 , which provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, the expropriation of all economic enterprises took place regardless of ethnicity.

economy

In 1936 a milk hall was opened in the cooperative yard after the Association of German Cooperatives was founded in Timisoara in 1928 and the Banater Agraria goods center in 1934 . The milk hall association had 250 members. The customers were pig farmers and the Timisoara butter factory. After the general nationalization of all economic goods, the agricultural state economy (GOSTAT = Gospădaria agricolă de stat ) and in 1950 the agricultural production cooperative (CAP = Cooperativa agricolă de producţie ) was founded, colloquially known as "collective".

After the Second World War , the proportion of the German population in Maşloc fell sharply due to flight and resettlement. Today the community is almost exclusively inhabited by Romanians. In 2002, of the 3977 inhabitants, 3387 were Romanians, 155 Hungarians, 31 Germans, 100 Roma and 304 others.

As a special feature, there is a homeopathic clinic for cancer patients and other chronic diseases in Maşloc. Next to the clinic, the church is the second largest building in Maşloc. The population is about 2200 people (2007).
