The document summarizes the history of German settlement in the village of Szigetbecse, Hungary. It notes that approximately 30% of the village's 1,400 inhabitants are of German nationality. It then discusses how Germans have lived in the region for over 1,000 years and were organized to colonize Hungary in the 18th century. It provides examples of German cultural traditions that were practiced in the village until World War II, when many Germans were deported or fled as refugees. Today the village works to preserve German heritage through organizations, education of the language, and cultural festivals.
Though Tallinn's Christmas market only became a yearly tradition in 2001, it has already established itself as amongst the most well-loved and happily-visited Christmas markets in Europe. Certainly what it lacks in tradition it makes up for in atmosphere and ambiance, dispelling December's darkness with colourful lights, music and activity

Emigrationist Colonialism
Idea of the ‘unbounded German nation’ (Sauer, 2007).
Germans could be Germans away from new German nation state
The nation as ‘imagined community’ centred on culture
Breaking in and farming the soil of ‘new territory’ the core ‘national’ economic task
Colonialist also because displacement of indigenous peoples taken for granted, seen as a natural effect of necessary German expansion.
A refutation of state-based nationalism & core duty - military service

On the following day, the 22nd [of August 1895] ..[t[owards half past twelve our steamer anchored in Queenstown harbour on the Irish coast to take on board new passengers. Long before we had reached the harbour however, several small boats approached our steamer propelled by powerful oar-strokes and in no time had fastened themselves to the ship’s sides. Nimble boys climbed on board and secured rope ladders, and in a matter of moments a dozen Irish pedlar-women (Händlerinnen) were on board hawking all manner of things to the passengers.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

National Assembly ordered the organised colonization.
In the 18th century the Germans have been colonysated to

The majority of Germans came to Hungary from middle and south
part of Germany. The settlers arrived to Szigetbecse from
Bavarian and Styrian provinces.

and worked in the mine. 39 peoples died as a result of hunger and
life-threatening work.

War was the
evacuation.
400 people were
deployed out of
Szigetbecse.
19. They had to leave
their houses and lands
here.
Instead Hungarians
resettled from
Slovakia.
Hungarians and
Germans lived and live

/ Here is the family together. /
After the II. World

broken in three parts.
22. After the II. World War it was forbidden to

In 2002 was founded the German Ethnical
Municipality, which aims are to preserving our
heritage and assist the German education in
the kindergarten and in the school.
