Bezenye
Bezenye ( hr, Bizonja; german: Pallersdorf; sk, Beziň) is a village in Győr-Moson-Sopron County, Hungary. It is situated 6 km from the Slovak border and just 25 km from the Slovak capital Bratislava. The population of 1600 consists mostly of Hungarians, with a large Croatian minority and smaller communities of Slovaks and Germans. Consequently, the inhabitants communicate in a mixture of languages, none of which are used in their standard forms. Archaeological investigations reveal that the earliest inhabitants of the area were Germanic tribes. Many artifacts can be seen in the Hanság Museum in the town of Mosonmagyaróvár which is 25 km away, near Győr. Later on Magyar people settled in Bezenye until it was sacked by Turkish troops. Gradually the village was repopulated, this time largely by Croatian communities from Dalmatia, as well as by Germans. The Germans called it "Palersdorf", the Croatians called it "Bizonja".

These areas were occupied by the Turks (Ottomans) during the Turkish wars (1533–1584). The refugee Croats were given land and independent ecclesiastical rights by the Austrian King Ferdinand I, because many of their villages had been pillaged by the Turks. This gave the Croats a safe place to live while providing Austria with a buffer zone between Vienna and the Ottoman ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
