Count József Esterházy moved Catholic Germans from Westphalia in the 1730s, which have a built in Hungary German characteristic street village, traces of which can also be seen nowadays. The community has its own self-government since 1990 and since 1994, the German minority administration operates in Dunaszentmiklós. 2003, a holiday village was built within the settlement of Dutch tourists.
