Beremend (German: Behrend; Serbian: Бреме, romanized: Breme) is a village in Baranya County, Hungary on the Croatian border, it constitutes the southernmost point of the country.[1] Residents are Magyars, with minority of Serbs.[2] Until the end of World War II, the inhabitants were Danube Swabians, also referred to locally as Stifolder, because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from Fulda (district).[3] Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, consequent to the Potsdam Agreement.[4] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there, the majority today are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange. They got the houses of the former Danube Swabian inhabitants.

EU Refugee Crisis

Thousands of refugees arrived from Croatia enter Hungary as Hungarian army members take security measures at Hungarian-Croatian border on September 19, 2015.[6] Thousands drowned while trying the cross the Mediterranean from Libya and Turkey to Europe, prompting an EU-wide mission to intercept people attempting to make the crossing. However, Hungary sent armored vehicles to its border with Croatia, as tensions mounted between the neighboring countries over the migrant crisis.[7]
