find historical information about this German-Hungarian village in Tolna
province.
This information is intended especially for those who are researching their
Danube Swabian
family history.
From about four hundred German settlements in Hungary, Mucsi was one of only
twenty-four which were repopulated after the 150 year long Turkish occupation.
The new settlers were peasants and artisans from around Fulda in the Hessen
province of Germany and were described as Stifollers - from Stift Fulda. They
undertook the major part of the reconstruction of the almost entirely destroyed
country and established a high standard of agricultural and industrial society. |
