Városlőd (German: Waschludt) is a village in Veszprém county, Hungary. Its partner town (sister city) is Wiesthal, Germany. Városlőd, or Waschludt (German), was established after the end of Ottoman rule in 1699, when German settlers from Mainz, the Rhine area and the Spessart came to the region. It was a popular migratory area due to its woods and the rich resources of clay and ore. Thus, many settlers built glass and iron-hammer factories or worked as lime-burners. The first foreman was Rubner Péter János who had come to Városlőd from the region of Linz with his family and a group of iron workers. Business leaders and Foremen that followed were of German origin as well, such as Michael Gasteiger from Upper Bavaria and Ferdinand Adler from Moravia who came from a famous dynasty of glass factory owners.
