Location: German National Landscape House in Varoslud

Your city is second. See. It was a purely German settlement until the end, but then 452 people were displaced and replaced by Highland Hungarians. It was not easy for those who remained here to continue their lives and maintain their German identity. The heirs of a deceased couple have decided to hand over their parents’ house free of charge for the purposes of a German country house. We are looking at the concrete memories of the Germans here, while talking about the fact that the settlement is half Bavarian and the other half Frankish, coming from the eighteenth century. In the 20th century, they were hostile to each other, but over time they blended together and a special local dialect was formed that is not found anywhere else. They talk about the Bacony Christkindl tradition, which is extinct in Western Europe, only the name (still) preserved in Christmas fairs – Christkindlmark. They collected local history and building traditions, and declared that the material heritage of deceased elderly people should not be disposed of during garbage disposal, but should be invited so that they can salvage the ethnographic values.
