Nagypall is a small village in Baranya County and it is located south of Zengő, the highest peak of the Mecsek range of hills. The nearest town is Pécsvárad and it is at a distance of three kilometres from the settlement. The village of Nagypall is accessible from trunk road No. 6.
Legend has it that a feudal lord by the name Nagy Pál had estates here in the 1700s. The name of the settlement occurred first in the form ’Pol’ in a document around 1220. The name Pall is a version of the Hungarian first name Pál (Paul). The settlement got first mentioned as part of the list of settlements, paying taxes to the Abbey of Pécsvárad, which had been founded by King St Stephen.
Nagypall was inhabited throughout the Turkish period of Hungarian history. Its population remained Hungarian after the Turkish Conquest as well. It was only in the second half of the 18th century that German settlers arrived and stayed in the village.
In the early 18th century the Village of Nagypall became the property of the Bishop of Pécs. In the middle of that century the inhabitants of the village were mainly Protestants. During the reign of Empress Maria Theresia the Hungarian inhabitants of the village were villeins, while the Germans were mostly servants. The main crops, typical of the settlement included corn, rye, oat, maze and grapes. Oxen, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep were kept by the villagers and two mills ground the locally grown grains.
Before the second world war the Hungarian and the German inhabitants lived in two separate parts of the village. The Hungarians were protestants, while the Germans were Catholics. Members of both religious congregations built their own church in the village; the listed building of the Calvinist church was built in 1793, while Nagypall’s Catholic church was erected in 1852. Two schools operated in the village in that era. The settlement’s Roman Catholic school was bilingual and both German and Hungarian were used as languages of instruction in it. In the Protestant school children learnt in Hungarian.Hungarian inhabitants were villeins, the germans were mostly servants.
