What is Danube Swabians?
The '''Danube Swabians''' are [[Germans|German]] [[settler]]s of the former [[Austria-Hungary]] Empire. They founded [[villages]], and worked as [[farmer]]s. Their ancestors were once settled from 1686 - 1829 by the order of the [[House of Habsburg]] in [[Hungary]], and parts of former [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Romania]] who belonged to the Habsburger Monarchy, from different parts from [[Austria]] and Germany like [[Hesse]], [[Bavaria]], the [[Palatinate (region)|Palatinate]], [[Hunsrück]], [[Baden-Württemberg]], [[Swabian Jura]] [[Fulda (district)]], [[Rhön]], [[Franconia]], [[Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis]], [[Swabia (Government Region)]], but also [[Alsace]], [[Lorraine]], [[Southern Netherlands]] and [[Luxembourg]] etc. The city [[Ulm]] at [[Alb-Donau-Kreis]], in [[Swabian Jura]], was the startpoint, where this German emigrants went with the ''Ulmer Schachtel'' (a small boat), along the [[Danube River]], this is why they got the name ''Danube Swabians''. They speak different German dialects. They believed in [[Roman Catholicism]] and [[Lutheranism]] and hold much of the old [[Norse mythology]]. After [[World War II]], most of the Danube Swabians were expelled by the order of the [[Potsdam Conference]], to [[Allied-occupied Austria]] and [[Allied-occupied Germany]]. Only a few Danube Swabians live today in this country who once belongend to the Habsburger Monarchy. Most Danube Swabian descendants live in Austria and Germany, but also some in USA, Canada and Australia.<ref>http://www.danube-swabians.org/</ref><ref>https://www.dvhh.org/history/</ref><ref>https://www.dvhh.org/history/1700s/DS-history~tullius.htm</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.donauschwabencleveland.com/donauschwaben-history | title=Donauschwaben History }}</ref> ==Stiffoller== The Germans from the Hochstift [[Fulda (district)|Fulda]] settled at 25 villages in the [[Baranya]] and in the city [[Pécs]] arround 1717 - 1804,<ref>https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/311888384</ref> this subgroup is named ''Stifolder'' or Stiffoller.<ref>https://www.feked.hu/etc/Sti
