History

Topographic history

In 1911, the Orthodox church Assumption of Lord's Mother was built. Before completion of the church, the Orthodox residents had to go to the church of the competent parish community in Sefkerin.[1]

Demographic history

In 1936, the new local group of the Schwäbisch-Deutscher Kulturbund was found by Germans. The member Michael Lang became leader of local echelon of paramilitary Deutsche Mannschaft of the regional Einsatzstaffel Hermann Göring (operation echelon Hermann Göring). During the Belgrade Offensive by Allied Armies, first troops of Soviet Red Army arrived in the village on 4 October 1944.[2][3]

On 30 October 1944, 127 Germans were killed by shooting near the floodplains next to the road to Opovo by Special commands of Yugoslav Partisans. The number had a symbolic one. 100 persons were representative for the escaped First-rate officials of national socialist organization of Danube Swabians. 27 persons were representative for the same number of killed persons of about 3,600 prisoners from Bor. The prisoners had to camp there during the day until dusk. Members of Hungarian guards and paramilitary Deutsche Mannschaft killed them by hitting because they tried to get river water for drinking despite the ban. An interviewed eyewitness indirectly named this event only. He did not mention the place of action. He did not even mention all of the facts that happened then. But he described this event with the word watermelons. That happened on 27 September 1944. Almost all of killed Germans were young Second-rate officials from Glogonj and Opovo. The contemporary witness of a Danube Swabian publication called that area of floodplains airfield. He meant the Germans way to heaven only and mentioned nothing about the prisoners from Bor. According to that report, the parson of Glogonj was killed in the village center. However, it was the most prominent man of the Gross family, who became appointed German mayor of Sefkerin during the time of Autonomous Banat. The village was and is mostly populated by Serbs. The tortured man was publicly hanged to the tower of fire brigade on 4 October 1944.[4][5]
