Jarmina
municipality and settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia
Jarmina is a village and municipality in the Vukovar-Syrmia County in Croatia.
Name
In German the village is known as Jahrmein or Hermann, in Hungarian as Járomnaszentmiklós, and in Serbian Cyrillic as Јармина.
Demographics
Following Ottoman retreat from the region, the Lordship of Nuštar was established, and the village became part of its domain.
First German settlers moved to the village from 1770 onwards while the school in German language was established in 1790. Historical records indicate that increase in tax burdens in 1770 forced the entire local Serb population as well as large majority of Croats to leave the settlement.
Before World War II there was a substantial German-speaking Danube Swabian population here.
According to the 2011 census, there are 2,458 inhabitants, 99.27% which are Croats.
Characteristics
The municipality is home to a monument to defenders and civilians killed in the Croatian War of Independence which has the names of 15 deceased people.
Near Borinci, a hamlet between Jarmina and Vinkovci, there is a 171 metres tall guyed mast for FM-/TV-broadcasting.
Jarmina is unofficial name of the Vinkovci Marshaling yard and freight railway station.

Why this record matters
The phrase “municipality and settlement in Vukovar-Srijem County, Croatia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1277225. VIAF identifies the subject as 316747575. Authority coordinates are 45.317, 18.733. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1770, 1790 and 2011.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
