Frătăuţii Vechi (Frătăuţii Vechi)
Frătăuții Vechi (Alt Fratautz, Alt-Frautautz, Alt-Deutsch-Fratautz) is a commune located in Suceava County, Bukovina, northeastern Romania. It is composed of two villages: namely Frătăuții Vechi and Măneuți (Andrásfalva).
From 1786 to 1941, Măneuți village was inhabited by the Székelys of Bukovina. During the 1780s, 16 ethnic German families settled in Frătăuții Vechi in the course of the Josephine colonization (Josephinische Siedlung).
As it is the case of other rural settlements from the countryside of Suceava County, Frătăuții Vechi (just like Frătăuții Noi for example) was previously inhabited by a sizable German community, more specifically by Bukovina Germans during the late Modern Age up until the mid 20th century, starting as early as the Habsburg period and, later on, the Austro-Hungarian period.
