The present compilation is a courageous attempt to satisfy an important general demand for a good overview of all Danube- Swabian home town books, local histories and family books of places. Overall they can be very helpful for the genealogically interested, since in the cited works - also of course in the family books of places - particulars about the colonists and population of a place can be found.

Places from all the regions of Danube-Swabian settlement are listed, as are places to which they fled or were expelled. Listings are in alphabetical order according to their  p r e s e n t - d a y  n a m e s . An earlier, usually German, name is also listed. In parenthesis in most cases can be found the number of German inhabitants just prior to the Second World War. In addition all the variant place names in accordance with their changing histories are interspersed throughout; these refer one back to the present-day official names, which have been selected (following the lead of the second edition of Donauschwäbisches Ortsnamenbuch by Regenyi and Scherer, see below). Before each place name is also listed its country code and national postal (ZIP) code, when available.
