Rajka, (Ger. Ragendorf) is a community in Hungary.
background
Rajka is first mentioned in a document in 1297. The church is in that today Mosonmagyaróvár small area. Until 1946, the majority of the town's population was German-speaking. In 1918, Rajka should have been awarded to Austria, but remained with Hungary. From 1946 the German-speaking population was resettled and Hungarians from Slovakia settled here instead. Since the accession of Slovakia and Hungary to the EU, however, Rajka has been a popular place of residence for Slovaks because of its proximity to the Slovakian capital Bratislava and the high prices for land and apartments there; Slovak citizens - but members of the Hungarian-speaking ethnic group - now make up the majority of the population in Rajka.
