Budaörs [ budɒ.ørʃ ] (German Wudersch ) is a Hungarian medium-sized city in Pest county , district Budakeszi , on the western edge of the capital Budapest area. It owes its German name to the fact that the community is actually a Swabian settlement. This can be seen, for example, from the buildings and their systems in the locality.

history

Budaörs was first mentioned in 1236 under King Béla IV . In 1921, when King Charles IV of Hungary tried to return for the second time, his troops were stopped at Budaörs, killing 19 soldiers.

Until after the Second World War , Swabians lived in the community , who became a minority after 1946 when they were expelled . The Swabian minority that still lives in the village today has retained its own Middle Bavarian dialect .

Simultaneously with the expansion of the cemetery, a Volksbund peace park with a total of 674 trees was created on the site.
