More about Hungary
With a total area of around 93,000 km², Hungary is one of the small states on the European continent (compared to Germany: 357,000 km²). The inland borders with the Slovak Republic in the north, Ukraine in the northeast, Romania in the east, Croatia and Serbia in the south, Slovenia in the southwest and Austria (Burgenland) in the west.
The country is part of the Pannonian Basin, an extensive lowland plain in Central Europe. In the west it borders on the foothills of the Alps. In the north-west lies the Small Hungarian Lowland, to which the Hungarian Central Uplands adjoin. The Great Hungarian Lowland extends east of the Danube. Hungary is a predominantly flat country. At 1,015 m, the Kékes is the highest mountain in the country. It is located in the Matra Mountains in northern Hungary.
More than half of the country’s area is used for agriculture. Bell peppers, for example, are grown on huge areas. The word “paprika” was taken from Hungarian. The steppe landscape of the Puszta extends east of the Danube in the south of the country. It is one of the last retreats for the great bustards (bustards). About 20% of Hungary’s land area is covered by forests, which are home to wild boars, deer, roe deer and foxes, among others. There are wine-growing regions in the south of the country. Ten national parks are spread across the country.
The Danube flows through the middle of Hungary and is the most important waterway. The longest river is the Tisza. There are well over 1,000 lakes. Because of its size, Lake Balaton is also called the “Hungarian Sea” and is the largest lake in Central Europe. In the German-speaking region it is called Lake Balaton because it is long, narrow and shallow, i.e. flat. The Lake Neusiedl lies both in Hungarian and on Austrian territory.
Hungary has a temperate continental climate with dry and hot summers and stormy and cold winters.
A serious chemical accident occurred when the Kolontár dam broke on October 4, 2010. Caustic soda and heavy metals from an aluminum factory flooded the Kolontár region in western Hungary.
Population and Religion
Hungary has 9.8 million residents (2018). Almost three quarters of the population lives in cities. Budapest is the economic, political and cultural center of the country, around every fifth Hungarian citizen lives here. The rural areas are only sparsely populated. The entire country has a population density of 108 people per km 2. Germany is more than twice as densely populated.
Around 87% of the population describe themselves as Hungarians (Magyars). There are also 13 national minorities who maintain their language and culture within Hungary, including Hungarian Germans, Slovaks and Croats. The Roma immigrated to what is now Hungary in the 15th century and form the largest ethnic minority. They often live in isolation on the outskirts of towns and villages in great poverty. A lack of school education and a lack of integration lead to social tensions. Roma are quickly labeled “criminals” and “parasites”. Antigypsyism in large parts of Hungarian society continues to lead to hate crimes against the Roma. After the First World War, Hungary had to give up almost two thirds of its national territory in 1918. That is why there are still Hungarian minorities living in neighboring countries, the so-called Hungarians abroad.
According to the 2011 census, almost 53% of the population belong to different Christian denominations. Half of them do not provide any information or are non-denominational. The largest Jewish community in Central Europe is located in Hungary – mainly in Budapest.
A large number of people have social security. You have health and pension insurance. Social problems have been successfully reduced with social and relief benefits since 1990. The suicide rate, which was among the highest in Europe, and alcoholism fell. But homelessness has doubled since the 1990s. Problems are caused by the shortage of skilled workers and, above all, doctors, because many well-trained Hungarians work abroad, as well as the poor structural condition of many hospitals. The life expectancy of Hungarians is significantly lower than in most EU countries.
