There are around 120,000 Hungarians in Germany. Hungarians have emigrated here since the Middle Ages. However, after World War I, their number continues to grow at an increased pace. Today, around 75% of this population live in the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hessen.
Only about 60% arrived with a Hungarian passport, as many of them arrived from areas of the former Kingdom of Hungary (see Treaty of Trianon, 1920).
Major population changes:
In 2006/2007, Hungary presented its country and culture in Germany with a whole series of cultural events including the exhibition "Germans in Hungary – Hungarians in Germany. European Lives".
