Name

In Serbian, the village is known as Zmajevo (Змајево), in German as Alt-Keer or Altker, and in Hungarian as Ókér (Kér was the name of one of the Hungarian tribes that occupied this territory). Older Serbian names (that were given to the village only after the end of the First World War) were: Pašićevo (Пашићево), Stari Ker (Стари Кер), Ker (Кер), and Bačka Dobra (Бачка Добра). The current name, Zmajevo, derived from nickname of Serbian poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj.

History

It was recorded first in 1267. During Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), the village of Kér was populated by Serbs. Germans settled in the village in 1787, but after World War II, as a consequence of the war events, the German population (approximately 2,500 people) was exiled from the village by the communist government. The German Evangelical church was torn down and the German cemetery turned into a pheasant-farm.
