Why do Hungarians know German? I noticed this when I was there. Do they study it in school as a first second language or is it carryover from the A-H empire?

At the time I visited I only knew some German, but I was glad to know even that as it helped me.

This is one of the reasons I find German to be a "handy" language, but I suspect that English is more convenient to know now.
