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 .
