The German Municipality of Baja, the Public Foundation for the Germans of Baja and the German Cultural Association of Baja, in consultation with the General Cultural Centre of the Germans in Hungary, decided to build an "Ulmer Schachtel", a dereglie in the original size of Baja.

The memorial will remind future generations of their origins and will also proclaim our commitment to our narrower homeland, the Bácska.
