There are around 207,000 Hungarians in Germany.[1] Hungarians have emigrated to Germany since the Middle Ages. However, their number continues to grow at an increased pace since the end of World War I. Today, around 75% of this population live in the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hessen.
