The numbers of Danube Swabians livng in hungary now are cited from the German wiki article [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banater_Schwaben#.22Aderlass.22_nach_der_Wende], but seems to be wrong (see discussion page there). According to the latest Hungarian census(2001), the number of '''all''' ethnic Germans (which is not limited to Danube Swabians alone) should be about 120,000 (1.2% of a total population of about 10 million). As such, I think it needs to be corrected, and/or if alternative sources exist, there should another sentence dealing with that and indicating the source, '''after''' the official census results are given. As for German mayors in Hungary, I am not sure about that, and this sentence (oddly enough) seems to apply to Romania. The mayor of a major city (Sibiu) is German (see there, and [[Klaus Johannis]]), as well as mayors of smaller towns -- see DFDR. There could be more discussion on the topic, but I will leave it here. 19:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC) |

Germans in Hungary
The numbers of Danube Swabians livng in hungary now are cited from the German wiki article [1], but seems to be wrong (see discussion page there). According to the latest Hungarian census(2001), the number of all ethnic Germans (which is not limited to Danube Swabians alone) should be about 120,000 (1.2% of a total population of about 10 million). As such, I think it needs to be corrected, and/or if alternative sources exist, there should another sentence dealing with that and indicating the source, after the official census results are given. As for German mayors in Hungary, I am not sure about that, and this sentence (oddly enough) seems to apply to Romania. The mayor of a major city (Sibiu) is German (see there, and Klaus Johannis), as well as mayors of smaller towns -- see DFDR. There could be more discussion on the topic, but I will leave it here. 19:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
