The place with the unpronounceable name is located in central Hungary not far from Budapest. There was found a treasure trove of silver coins, almost certainly lost on the crusade of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1189. The find consists exclusively of German coins of the period from about 1150 to 1185. The origin of these coins shows that the knights who accompanied the emperor came from all parts of the empire. A few months later Barbarossa died still on the road, without having seen the Holy Land.
