Late modern period history

During the 1780s, 12 ethnic German families settled in Ilișești (German: Illischestie) in the course of the Josephine colonization.[2] These ethnic Germans were part of the then emerging Bukovina German (German: Bukowinadeutsche or Buchenlanddeutsche) community which was formed in Suceava County and the entire historical region of Bukovina (German: Bukowina or Buchenland) during the modern period, more specifically during the Habsburg period and, later on, the Austro-Hungarian period.
