A guardian of the past of Vršac and Banat who helped build the town’s museum and library.
Born in Vršac, he devoted most of his life to researching and preserving its heritage.
Life and work
Feliks Mileker developed from a teacher into a tireless researcher of Banat. His interests included archaeology, history, numismatics and the past of local settlements. His work helped preserve objects and knowledge in public collections.
He became curator of the Vršac museum in 1894 and also played an important role in the town library. He left more than two hundred published works, including the Banat booklets.
A visit to the museum and an introduction to the library’s local-history collection make his contribution tangible: the story of a town preserved through patient research.
