history

The village was founded between 1784 and 1786 during the Josefin settlement by German colonists under the name Rittberg, after an Austrian general. Due to unrest in the population, the German colonists were relocated to Darova in 1791 . Only eight German families remained in Rittberg. 78 Reformed Hungarian families from Csanád , Csongrád and Békés came to the houses abandoned by the Germans . The foundation stone of the reformed church from Rittberg was laid in 1794 and completed in 1888. The organ comes from Carl Leopold Wegenstein . After the Austro-Hungarian settlement in 1876, Rittberg was renamed Végvár on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the town. After the Treaty of Trianon , when the Banat was divided into three parts and two thirds fell to Romania, the place was first named Voicu, then Tormac after an ancient place called "Tormas" on the territory of the present-day village.
