The settlers arrived in Kismaros, in the Danube Bent, at the bottom of the Börzsony, from German speaking areas in the Danube Valley in the first part of the 18th century. The people formed a closed community for long after their arrival. They completely preserved their language until the beginning of the 20th century, partially until 1945. Education was in the languages German and Hungarian.

A permanent exhibition opened in the building of the former people's school called Kismaros Swabian Museal Collection in 1993, the material consisting of documents, photos household equipment used by the German population, laces, cloths for babies, bedclothes etc.
