At the start of the year 1783 imperial advertising was spread to all the market spots and villages of the Rhine region and southwest Germany of the imperial settlement patent.  At first the imperial princes tolerated the emigration, however many reported that some princes had difficulties with the emigration and gave no passes.  Also "Winkelpässe" (angle passes - waves) and all sorts of notes had to be (seyn) good for it." (ref. Eimann) So once the emigrant came to Regensberg there was no danger of them turning away anyone.  Here they received the proper passes.  In Vienna they had to report to the Hungarian court chancellery.  There they were registered and with 2 Guilders travel expenses per person they were directed to go to the "highly praised court chamber" in Ofen (Buda, western part of Budapest).  In Ofen the settlers were assigned to the separate comitats (large administrative districts).

          Those colonists assigned to the Bacser (Batschka) Comitat had to report the settlement rent (pension) office in Zombor (Serbian=Sombor).  For the travel from Ofen to Zombor each person received another 2 Guilders.
