The village of Easter, was settled in 1772 under the Empress Maria Theresa, during the second great Schwabenzuges (1763-1773). At that time, the heath was a desert of marshes, dotted with thistles, cane and weeds. In 1807 the construction of the church began. The Banat Swabians were a German population in the Banat. They were combined with other German-speaking minorities from this region of Southeastern Europe under the collective name Donauschwaben. Their ancestors were settled by the Austrian Court Chamber since the end of the 17th century from various parts of southern Germany and from Lorraine in the after the Turkish Wars partially depopulated and devastated Pannonian Plain.
In the 1970s, the wave of emigration of German residents to Germany began, so that the population structure of Easter was subject to a huge structural change.
