history

The Szomor area was already inhabited in Roman times. In the 19th century, an almost complete four-wheeled Roman carriage was found in the Somodorpuszta district, which was brought to the Hungarian National Museum . The name of the settlement was first mentioned during the Árpád era in the 13th century. In the Great Turkish War , the place was destroyed and then rebuilt. Szomor is a former German farming village about 7 km from Schambek and is one of the four villages in the county (Máriahalom, Leányvár and Környe ) from which an expulsion took place. In 1945 about 30 of the 900 inhabitants were Magyars , the rest were Germans. About 650 people were expelled to Germany on April 12, 1946 (Dachau, Schwäbisch Gemünd, Böblingen, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg).
