Late modern period history

During the 1780s, 12 ethnic German families settled in Ilișești in the course of the Josephine colonization.[2] These ethnic Germans were part of the then emerging Bukovina German community which was formed in Suceava County and the entire historical region of Bukovina during the late Modern Age, more specifically during the Habsburg period and, respectively, the Austro-Hungarian period.
