Late modern period history

As it is the case of other rural settlements from the countryside of Suceava County, Frătăuții Noi (just like Frătăuții Vechi 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.
