Summary/Abstract: Nowadays it is believed that the Crusades, the hunger, epidemics and had the social discontent as a basis, the triggering factor of the Settlements in southeastern Europe constituted. During the Crusades, the Kingdom Hungary and better known by the Crusaders as a country with many Temptations and unlimited opportunities discovered. Unfortunately remains unknown to which extent the German settlers of the King Geisa II for the settlement in Hungary / Zips / Transylvania were called for the journey to the Kingdom of Hungary affected by the positive propaganda, the Crusaders following the passage of Hungary after their return to the Arpadenreich gamacht had. In any case the contact was established with the quotas for the Crusaders Arpadenkönige that seeks a positive campaign had to make - see, in this Sense, the messages that they as a country of all possibilities and in full Development momentum mention - a great opportunity for a successful to conduct settlement in the tract. The previously portrayed raises its reiteration that the mobility of the Crusades in the The case of Transylvania, an excitation factor in triggering the immigration represented, because the coincidence between the moment of implementation of each Crusade and that the settlement waves due to the "musical chairs" had taken place, would be too large. If participated in the first two crusades Arpadenreich the more passive had crossed it in the Third Crusade (1189-1192) to an active stage of, although his support was modest.

Not coincidentally gave the Arpadenkönig in this context - the basis of reciprocity - financial support 1211 in the German knights Burzenland located. The establishment of the Teutonic Knights in Burzenland was ultimately a result of the involvement of Arpadenkönige and of course the papacy in the crusades, the latter was at the church-administrative and spiritual conquest in the eastern part of Europe interested. The time of the settlements under the Arpad was thus tied to the history of Kreuzüge first connected. The Arpadenkönige knew how it without a direct Participation, but with the commitment and support of the papacy, which on the offensive of Catholicism in the East was interested in the inflow of the Pilgrims, the Hungarians crossed on his way to Jerusalem should benefit; so had the end of the Crusades, the Kingdom of the greatest profit.
