history

Brestowetz was first mentioned in a document in 1440, when the place belonged to the Șoimoș castle . Romanians from Transylvania settled in 1583 . During the Turkish wars in the 17th century, Aga , as the place was called under Hungarian rule , was completely destroyed and devastated. Prestovaz was rebuilt between 1717 and 1722 . At that time 113 Serb families lived here . In 1797 Hungarians and Slovaks settled. In 1828 other Hungarian families came. In 1847 Germans were also settled.

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the law for the Magyarization of place names (Ga. 4/1898) was applied. The official place name was Temes-Aga . The Hungarian place names remained valid in the Kingdom of Romania until the administrative reform of 1923 when the Romanian place names were introduced. The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts , whereby the town fell to the Kingdom of Romania . From 1924 to 1925 the place was called Brusturi . Since 1925 the official name is Brestovăț .

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. The Germans from Romania had to pay for this after Romania switched sides on August 23, 1944. 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 .

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. The expropriated land was distributed to smallholders, farm workers and colonists from other parts of the country.

The nationalization law of June 11, 1948 , which provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, resulted in the expropriation of all commercial enterprises. The collectivization of agriculture was initiated in the early 1950s .

According to the population structure, there are two churches in Brestowatz , the Catholic and the Orthodox . The Catholic parish was founded in 1847, the Romanian Orthodox in 1927.
