history

In the Middle Ages there was a settlement called "Kokenyer" or "Cocheni" on the area of ​​today's village. This settlement was completely destroyed during the Turkish War of 1552. After the Peace of Passarowitz on July 21, 1718, after 164 years of Turkish rule, the Banat was attached to the Habsburg Monarchy and, as the imperial crown and chamber domain, was subordinated to the Vienna government. The Habsburg colonization of the Banat began with the so-called Swabian trains . The present village was founded in 1842-1844 through internal migration. The settlers came from the neighboring towns of Marienfeld , Triebswetter , Altbeba , Kleinsanktnikolaus and Tschanad .

The name of the village goes back to the camera administrator "Graf von Keglevici". The Germans called the place "Keglewitschhausen". As a result of the Austro-Hungarian settlement in February 1867, the Banat came under Hungarian administration internally . A huge wave of Magyarization began, which peaked at the beginning of the 20th century. During the Hungarian administration at the time of the dual monarchy , the official name was "Keglevichháza".

After the Banat was annexed to Romania as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , the place was temporarily called "Porumbeşti" and since 1925 first "Chegleviciu" and then "Cheglevici". Until 1919 Cheglevici belonged to Torontál County, Sânnicolau Mare County. In 1950 the villages of Colonia Bulgară, Pordeanu and Chereştur were incorporated into the Cheglevici municipality. Since the administrative-territorial restructuring of the country in 1968 Cheglevici belongs to the municipality of Dudeştii Vechi.

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 18–30 and men between the ages of 16–45 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 collectivization of agriculture was initiated in the early 1950s . 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.

Since the population along the Romanian-Yugoslav border was classified as a security risk by the Romanian government after the rift between Stalin and Tito and his exclusion from the Cominform alliance, "politically unreliable elements" were deported to the Bărăgan on June 18, 1951 . Steppe regardless of ethnicity. At the same time, the Romanian leadership aimed to break the resistance against the impending collectivization of agriculture. When the Bărăgan abductees returned home in 1956, the houses and farms expropriated in 1945 were returned to them. However, the field ownership was collectivized.
