Kisbudmér (German: Kleinbudmer; Croatian: Mali Budmir) is a village and municipality (Hungarian: község) in Baranya county, Hungary.
Etymology
The name comes from Slavic personal name Budimír.[3] Budmer (1291).[3]
Until the end of World War II, the inhabitants' majority was Danube Swabian, also called locally as Stifolder, because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from Fulda (district).[4] Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, pursuant to the Potsdam Agreement.[5] 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.
