Budaörs (Hungarian:[ˈbudɒørʃ];German:Wudersch;Croatian:Jerša,Erša orVundeš;Latin:Vicus Teuto) is a town inPest County,Budapest metropolitan area,Hungary.
A suburb ofBudapest, the town lies among theBuda andCsiki hills and the Tétény plateau in the Budaörs-basin. The dramaticTörökugrató[ˈtørøkuɡrɒtoː] hill (Türkensprung in German) rises above the town.
The first settlements of the area date from 3500 BC. Excavations near theHosszúrét creek resulted in findings from theBronze Age (1900 BC to 800 BC). Before theRomans, theCelticEraviscus tribe occupied the area for about 100 years. Severalvillas have been recovered from theRoman times aroundKamaraerdő[ˈkɒmɒrɒɛrdøː].
Little is known of the early history of the settlement after theHungarian conquest. The name originates from the name of one of theKabar tribes that joined the Hungarians.
The first written mention ofÖrs dates from 1236 whenBéla IV, king ofHungary donated a church together with the St. Martin chapel to theCistercians. Under theTurkish occupation duringOttoman rule the area was uninhabited and was resettled bySchwab peasants in the early 18th century by the countess Zsuzsanna Bercsényi.
While at the end of the 18th century only 1143 peasants lived here, in 40 years the number tripled.World War I affected the town badly, and it was the scene of a short fight between Hungarian royalists and the government in theBattle of Budaörs on 23–24 October 1921. AfterWorld War II, it was at Budaörs where theCommunist government begun forcing ethnicGermans to leave their homes.
As of 2009[update], Budaörs had a population of 26,400.[2]
