Hertelendyfalva was ‘once’ an independent village in Serbia, in Vojvodina, South Banat, in Toronto County. Today it is a suburb of Panchova. 

On July 21, 1883, the settlement was named Hertelendyfalva in honor of the then chief of the Toronto county and the caretaker of the village, József Hertelendy.

The natives of Hertelendyfalva (mentioned in the memoirs of government commissioner György Nagy mention 500 Germans and 566 Slovaks) were the inhabitants of the flood-affected Marienfeld, therefore Marienfeld is considered to be the outpost of Hertelendyfalva.

The settlers have been keeping their registers since 1869, according to which the majority of the population of Hajduszica is Lutheran Slovak or German. There are also a smaller number from other  villages: Kovačica, Lalić Pivnjica, Pazova, Gložanj, Padina, and even smaller numbers from the counties of Nógrád, Nitra and Trenčín. A small number of German settlers come from the province of Württemberg, Goldstein Palatinate.

After the Marienfeld was destroyed during the floods, the residents were given a flood-free area next to the Vojlovica forest, along the road between Starčevo, where in 1882-83. Szeklers from Bukovina also settled between.
