Ág ( [ˈɒɡ], German: Neuda) is a village ( Hungarian: község) in northern Baranya County, Hegyhát District, in southern Hungary. Its population at the 2011 Census was 177. [2] Until the end of World War II, the inhabitants' majority was Protestant Danube Swabians. Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1945–1948, following the Potsdam Agreement. [3] Only a few Germans of Hungary live there, the majority today are the descendants of Hungarians from the Czechoslovak–Hungarian population exchange. They got the houses of the former Danube Swabian inhabitants.
