history

Card of 1661, Rascia was between Donau and Save or Danube and Bârzava localized

In the 15th century, Orthodox Slavs who had fled the Ottoman Empire began to settle in the Kingdom of Hungary . Large Raiz communities emerged during the reign of the kings Sigismund , Matthias Corvinus , the imperial administrator János Hunyadi, and above all under King Leopold I in Buda , Pest , Komárom , Esztergom , Szentendre and Arad . During the Turkish War from 1683 to 1699, thousands of Orthodox Slavs fled the Ottoman Empire north. Leopold I allowed the Raizian community to settle and guaranteed religious freedom. The fled Patriarch of Peć , Arsenije III. Črnojević was the first metropolitan in Hungary from 1691 to 1706, with his seat in Szentendre.

Today there are still some Hungarian places whose Hungarian names begin with the prefix Rác and indicate their Raizian past, for example Rácalmás , Ráckeresztúr and Ráckeve . The old German name Raitzenstadt for Novi Sad referred to the Raizen. In what is now the first district of the city of Budapest , the Tabán district was called Raizenstadt by German residents because of its high Slavic proportion . The Viennese suburb of Magdalenengrund used to be called Razenstadl . The family name Rácz also refers to the Raizen. Important personalities of the Raiz population were u. a. Teodor Janković-Mirijevski , Jovan Rajić, born in Karlóca , and Dositej Obradović from Csák .
