The "French"
colonization of the Banat
started about 1748 with
emigration from Lorraine and the territories bordering on it.
The settlers from Lorraine that established Neu-Beschenowa in
the summer of 1748 had to
complete a military training
ordered by Maria Theresia, so
that they would be able to serve
as soldiers in case of war.
