history

At the time of Roman rule there was a settlement called Vibech in the area of ​​today's Peciu Nou . In 1333 a settlement under the name Veybech was first documented in writing. 1401–1406 the place was Hungarian royal territory and had city status under the name Opidum Regys Vyebech , while it was named Vzbech in the 16th century .

In 1526, when Hungary came under Turkish rule and the place was inhabited by Serbs, it was called Vibech Peciui , and in the 17th century Peciuiu . The location did not appear on the Mercy map from 1723 to 1725, suggesting that the settlement was destroyed during the Turkish Wars. The first German settlers settled here in 1723. The conscription of 1743 noted a settlement with the name Uypez .

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Neupetsch also belonged, fell to Romania.

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 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 Nationalization Act of June 11, 1948 provided for the nationalization of all industrial and commercial enterprises, banks and insurance companies, whereby all commercial enterprises were expropriated 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.

Cultural life

The school of Peciu Nou was built in 1726 and the language of instruction was German. In 1823 the building of today's kindergarten was built and in 1874 the new school. Between 1871 and 1919 the language of instruction was Hungarian. At the beginning of the 20th century, in addition to a primary school, there was also a girls' school and a two-year training course for craftsmen in Peciu Nou.

economy

In Peciu Nou, wood extraction, the wood processing industry as well as the food industry and metal processing are particularly developed. But animal breeding (such as cattle breeding) also plays an important economic role alongside the cultivation of grain and wine.

Caritaskinderheim St. Nikolaus

In the first months of 1990, large amounts of aid were brought to Romania to better equip the children's homes there. The realization grew very quickly that this is not enough, but that the staff must also be qualified. This resulted in a technical school for home and curative education in Timisoara, but also the will to open a so-called model children's home. In 1990 the Caritas employees found a large, empty rectory in Peciu Nou in the diocese of Essen . With the help of the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia , a total of five houses in Peciu Nou were completely renovated and furnished for this purpose. Today a total of 22 children are cared for here.
