Even though life on the territory of Srijem and Nijemci started back in the Stone Age, first records of the place date back to the first century and the time of the Roman Empire. In 6th century, the Romans were replaced by the Avars, the Croats arrived in the 8th century, while as of the 15th century until the intrusion of the Turks, Nijemci were in the possession of the Zápolya noble family who even produced a Hungarian-Croatian king.
In 16th century, the place was conquered by Suleiman the Magnificent, and a little over a century and a half of Ottoman rule brought economic and demographic progress andthe place got a mosque and a hamam. Not only this –it became the centre of the Catholic Church in Srijem.
The Turks left, centuries passed, generals, cultures and customs changed…, and the plain remained just as beautiful.

To come to Srijem and not taste‘kulen’ or ‘kulenova seka’, bacon or sausages, almost equals sin. In the homely spirit, each dish wills start with a small glass of aromatic plum brandy (šljivovica).
