Budaörs

Budaörs is a town in Pest county close to Budapest. The ceremonial flag is white with red stripes and blue wolfteeth.

Before WWII inhabitants of Budaörs where "Danube Swabian" that lived in Hungary for 300 years. After WWII , 92% of the Budaör's Danube Swabian population was forcibly removed from their homes and deported to West Germany or East Germany and placed into Refugee Camps.

Even though they spoke German, they where Hungarian in a foreign and unfriendly country. To this day those of us that where born in Budaörs still have an emptiness in our souls because our home of ancestry was torn away from us.

After WWII Budaörs as many towns and villages through -out Eastern Europe fell victim to ethnic cleansing and forced population removal. The Ethnic German Hungarian inhabitants of Budaörs where resettled in various communities through-out Germany.

Eventually some families, such as ours opted to immigrate to the United States and start a new life here.

The book titled "Budaörs Heimatbuch" a book of remembrance. The book gives the history of Budaörs it has pictures of Village Life, population statistics, village history and family names living in Budaörs before 1945 the year of our forced removal. In the future I will scan the book and make the pages available on this site.

The illustration to the left is the old Coat Of Arms of the Village of Budaörs from 1743.

The peoples are spread throughout the world but their roots cannot be denied. The Village of Budaörs has erected a monument and has established a Museum Remembering the Hungarians that where forcibly removed from their homes and county

The information below was provided by
Tibor Szabó.

You can find the ruins of a tower in the graveyard of the village of Bokor. Supposingly it was just a watch-tower belonging to the castle of Buják, which is located south of Bokor. Presumably the tower had been built in the 15 century. It is a pity, but we do not have any diploma in which it is mentioned.

The village itself (not the castle!) was mentioned in a diploma in 1265.

The king donated Buják and the belonging Bokor to István Báthory in 1439. It was occupied by the Turks in the 16 c.

Later the village was owned by the Darvas family (1770), then by the Zsembéry, Gyürky and the Károlyi families in the 19 c.

Hungarian National Anthem

Lyrics: Ferenc Kölcsey (1823)
Music: Ferenc Erkel (1845)
Adopted: 1844

God bless the Hungarian,
With good cheer, and abundance,
Extend to him a shielding arm,
If he battles with the enemy;
Torn by ill fate for too long,
Bring onto him joyful year,
These people have expiated,
The past and the future!
