Hernádnémeti is a large village in Miskolc district of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County in northeastern Hungary. It is situated on the left bank of the Hernád River,
14 kilometers from Miskolc.
The village was originally settled in the times of Prince árpád. During the Mongol invasion it was completely depopulated;
it was resettled in 1254 by Germans who were invited to the country by the king.
From these German settlers the village gets its name (‘német’ being the word in Hungarian for German).
The village was again destroyed during the Turkish invasions; in 1567 the area is referred to as being unpopulated.
Gradually it was repopulated and in 1596 it was included into the Rákóczi estates.
After the failure of the Rákóczi War of Independence, the village became the property of Julianna Rákóczi.
In 1730, King Charles III donated one half of the settlement to Jakab Meskó and the other half to the Almássy family.
