Voganj  Voganj () is a village in Serbia. It is situated in the Ruma municipality, in the Srem District, Vojvodina province. The village has the population of 1,506 (2011 census). The village is located west of its municipal seat, town of Ruma. It is stretched along the both sides of the Ruma-Sremska Mitrovica road, which southwest of the village crosses both the railway and highway Belgrade-Zagreb. It functions as an adjoining suburb of Ruma as it almost makes one continuously built-up area with it. Voganj is a rural settlement of the semi-compact type. It is located on the loess plateau at an altitude of . It covers an area of and statistically consists of two cadastre municipalities: Voganj () and Marđelos (). It is a typical road settlement, stretched along the road. It consists of two parts: much larger Voganj (simply referred to as "Selo", village) and smaller and separated Erem. East of the village flows the river Kudoš, separating Voganj and Ruma, while on the west a creek Mančelov Gat passes next to the settlement. Both streams stretch in the north-south direction and flow into the Sava river. Erem is a hamlet of Voganj, to the west. It is connected to the rest of the village via the street which splits off the Ruma-Sremska Mitrovica road near the Voganj railway station. Erem developed after World War II and was settled by the colonists from the regions of Herzegovina (today in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Lika and Kordun (today in Croatia). In 2018, Erem consisted of 33 houses centered around one, long street with some 100 inhabitants. The area was a wasteland. In the mid-18th century, the counts from the Pejačević family held large herds of pigs and cattle in the area of modern Erem and also built the quarters for their servants with families. Next to the stables they built the railway station, one of the oldest in Syrmia. Modern Voganj railway station is located on the same place. There is no definite answer on the origin of the hamlet's name. Theories include the Hungarian name for joy ("öröm"), Greek word "erēmitēs" (hermit, a man living in the wasteland), and French "ermitage", a secluded place.
