80 Years Since the Expulsion of Germans from Hungary
Organiser Donauschwäbisches Zentralmuseum:
The year 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the start of the expulsion of all Hungarian Germans, ordered by the Hungarian government. It officially began on January 19, 1946, in Wudersch/Budaörs and ended in June 1948.
In total, approximately 170,000 Hungarian Germans went to the American-occupied zone of Germany, and another 50,000 to the Soviet zone. Roughly the same number of Hungarian Germans remained in Hungary, as Germany’s capacity to accept them had been exhausted.
The event begins with a reading from eyewitness accounts, followed by a discussion on the consequences of the expulsion for both those who were expelled and those who remained in their homeland. Participants: Joschi Ament (Federal Chairman of the Association of Germans from Hungary), László Schindler (Regional Self-Government of the Hungarian Germans), and journalist Krisztina Szeiberling. Moderator: Tamás Szalay (DZM)
A joint event organized by the DZM, the Association of Germans from Hungary, and the Cultural Affairs Officer for the Danube Region
