history

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1241. The Archdechan Rogerius from Wardein mentioned the place Perg in his work "Carmen miserabile" on the occasion of the Tatar invasions .

Variants of the place names were Mognu Villa Perg (1241), Perek (1320 and 1520), Nagy Pereg (1828-1851) over the years . Other spellings of the name were Beregh , Perek , Füperek , Puszta Nagy-Beregh , Deutschpereg , Nemethpereg . After the Banat was divided into three on June 4, 1920 as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , Großpereg fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Initially, Peregu German and then Peregu Mare was the official name.

The settlement of Germans took place in 1852 when 189 families from Lower and Upper Austria were settled. In 1864 new families were added from South Moravia and the Chaslau region in Bohemia .

Großpereg was known for its horse breeding . That is why it was also called "Klein-Mezöhegyes", after the famous Hungarian horse stud. Both the Hungarian and Romanian armies bought horses in Großpereg for their cavalry and artillery in the Banat.
