What happened with the Swabian speaking people who lived in Hungary?

The Germans had areas of settlement in Eastern Europe since the middle age or even earlier. A well known "tribe" were e.g. the "Sudetendeutsche" in todays Czechia or the "Donauschwaben" in Hungary. Many of these settlements were purely German and only few local nationals left among them. After WW II many of this people were chased out of their homes and spread over what is now Germany. However, several stayed esp. in Romania and Hungary and some of them are still there. Slowly they get assimilated by the local culture. There are still people with German origin leaving Romania, Hungaria or Russia and settling in todays Germany.

Des isch ja eu frechheit hier,dass keu eusger Satz in schwäbischm dohsteht

Dann schreib halt einen rein! BTW these Donauschwaben moved to this regions from about 1680 to 1800. So no connection to the middle age! Tilda —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.23.232.229 (talk) 18:20, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
