German Minority Village House - Vértesboglár
German Minority Village House
Address: 8085, Vértesboglár Petőfi u. 53.
Opening hours: On prior notice
Vértesboglár is a village in Fejér County, on the southern slopes of the Vértes Hill, with the population of nearly 1000. Before WWII, the population was made up of Swabians solely.

The methodical peopling of Vértesboglár took place in the 18th century. Ferenc Eszterházy invited settlers to Boglárpuszta in 1760 hoping to have God-fearing, peaceful and true people in his estates. He offered three tax-free years for the newcomers. During these years, they were required to build a house, begin deforestation, tilling soil and growing vine. 35 landholder serves and 22 cottars settled in Boglár arriving from the Tata estates of the Esterházy family and from Schwarzwald, in Bavaria. A number of present day family names in the village can be discovered among the names of the first arrivals in Boglár.

The German Self-Government formed in 1994 in the village with the objective of establishing a Village House and preserving tradition. In 1998, they purchased an old Swabian

Entering the house from the veranda, the visitor find themselves in the kitchen. Turning left, they enter the room looking at the street, with made beds, and a cradle inside.

Crocheted curtains hung over the windows on the left and right of the table and corner bench. The furniture reflects the life of settling Germans. Beautiful cupboards, holy pictures on the walls, and photos in addition to male and female clothing are to be seen in the room. There is also a Prayer book in the German language, and a number of documents.

Objects in the kitchen reveal that the tenants who once occupied the house led a parsimonious, but not poor life.

The back room opening from the kitchen has two small windows looking at the yard where the families spent their days. A Singer sawing-machine under the window, old photos on the wall, a military chest and an armchair are in this room.

From the chamber, a wooden ladder leads up to the attic.

The maintainers are hoping to set up a barn and a shed, in addition to further developments.
