history
The first documentary mention comes from 1308, when Fellok is mentioned.
Over the centuries, different spellings of the place name appeared: Fullak 1330, Fellak 1333, Fallak 1335, Feellak 1455, Felak 1501, Fenlax 1561, Felnak 1600, Feollak 1647, Follak 1700, Follach 1701, Fenlak 1717, Funlok 1723, Fonlak 1828 , Felnac 1921, Falnic 1926.
Fenlak was first occupied by the Turks in 1551 . After the Treaty of Karlowitz (1699) Arad and the Maroscher Land came under Austrian rule , while the Banat south of the Marosch remained under Turkish rule until the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) . According to General Starhemberg's plans , the first garrisons of the Tisza-Marosher military border were set up in August 1699 and June 1701 , including Felnac. The remains of Felnaker Castle from the 14th century are located on the area of the municipality. It was destroyed in 1701 under the supervision of the Imperial General Feldzeugmeister Georg Wilhelm Löffelholz von Kolberg . The scholar Marsigli left a detailed description of the Fenlak fortress along with a map of the new border between the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottoman Empire .
On the Josephine land survey of 1717, Fenlak is registered with 42 houses and belongs to the Temescher Banat . As a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . The official - Hungarian - place name was Fönlak at that time .
The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts , whereby Fenlac fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
