history
The place is mentioned for the first time in 1366 as "Fulyfalua", at the same time the two brooks, Černec brook, "riuulum Chernech", and Kutschenitza brook, "riuulum Olsinch" are mentioned. In 1499 the settlement was called Fwxlyncz and in 1627 it was recorded that the village belonged to the parish of Saint Helena (Sv. Jelena in Pertoča ). At that time, the parish was looked after by the Protestant clergyman Gregor Gerber from Lichtenstein near Meißen .
The place names Fükszlincz and Fuxlincz are documented in a visitation log of the Diocese of Győr / Raab for the year 1698, and it is also recorded that the settlement was assigned to the parish of Saint Helena and that a considerable part of the population, under the pressure of the Counter-Reformation , was already Catholic again Faith had returned.
In 1890 the village is officially called Kismáriahavas and had 372 inhabitants, 347 of them known as Germans, 8 as Hungarians, and 17 as Slovenes. The place was in the Muraszómbat district (Slov. Murska Sobota ) in the Hungarian county of Vas / Eisenburg. In the census of 1910 the place was officially called Máriahavas, it had 397 inhabitants: 382 Germans, 10 Slovenes and 5 Hungarians.
The Treaty of Trianon gave the village to the Kingdom of SHS on June 4, 1920, without consulting the population . For the place now officially called Fükšinci, the following data were determined in the first Yugoslav census on January 31, 1921: 381 residents, 364 Germans and 17 Slovenes, of these 381 residents all professed to be Catholic.
When the Übermur area fell to Hungary after the Wehrmacht invaded Yugoslavia in 1941, Füchselsdorf, including the neighboring communities of Sinnersdorf , Rotenberg and Guizenhof, became part of the Reichsgau Steiermark of the German Reich due to the German-speaking majority of the population .
After the reintegration into Yugoslavia, the German-speaking population was forcibly resettled to Austria in 1945 and 1946 and settlers from the interior of Slovenia were settled in return .
