Beremend

Beremend (Behrend; Бреме) is a village in Baranya County, Hungary on the Croatian border, it constitutes the southernmost point of the country. Residents are Hungarians, with minority of Serbs.

History
Until the end of World War II, the town's inhabitants were Danube Swabians, also referred to locally as Stifolder, because their ancestors arrived in the 17th and 18th centuries from the German district of Fulda. Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, consequent to the Potsdam Agreement.

Few Germans remain today. The majority of the modern population are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange. They occupied 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. 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.
