Balatonőszöd is a small Hungarian municipality in the small area of ​​Balatonföldvár . The municipality became known in 2006 through the so-called Őszöder speech by Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány , which had a strong influence on domestic political events in autumn 2006.

Place name

The name of the community probably comes from the personal name Ősz . Imre Várkonyi, on the other hand, in his book “The system of localities in Somogy County” (Várkonyi Imre: Somogy megye helységneveinek rendszere) takes the view that the name comes from the Hungarian adjective ősz (“gray-haired”).

In 1914 the name of the municipality was changed from Őszöd to Balatonőszöd.

history

The village was first mentioned in 1082. In a document from 1229 the village was named Eussed . In the Middle Ages the village belonged to the cathedral chapter of Székesfehérvár .

While it belonged to the Ottoman Empire , the village was not depopulated, in contrast to many other regions. In the Turkish documents of 1563, six houses were registered in the village. In the 16th century, the residents of Őszöd paid double taxes - on the one hand to the Ottomans and on the other to the castle of Tihany .

In 1807 the congregation came to the Piarists and Őszöd already had a Calvinist church at that time .
