Hungarians in Germany
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
There are around 120,000 Hungarians in Germany.[1] Hungarians have emigrated here since the Middle Ages, with an increase after World War I. Today, around 75% of this population live in the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hessen.[1]
Population
Only about 60% arrived with a Hungarian passport, as many of them arrived from areas of the former Kingdom of Hungary[1] (see Treaty of Trianon, 1920).
Major population changes:
- About 30,000 arrived after 1945
- About 25,000 arrived after the Hungarian Revolution of 1956
- 25,000 Gastarbeiter from Yugoslavia after 1960
- Around 5,000 migrants from Czechoslovakia after the Prague Spring of 1968
- Approx. 30,000 Hungarians from Transylvania after 1975
- About 15,000 fleeing communism in Hungary
- 15,000 moving to East Germany (until the 1990 German reunification)
Culture
In 2006/2007, Hungary presented its country and culture in Germany with a whole series of cultural events including the exhibition "Germans in Hungary – Hungarians in Germany. European Lives".[2]
