This is very likely, since several groups of Germans have settled in Hungary.
The first group, called the Saxons, arrived in the 12th and 13th centuries
and live mostly in Transylvania in what is today Romania. The other group,
the Swabians, arrived in the 18th century, much after the time we are looking
at.

the author's name then be Rumpolt Marx, as we use names? >>
Yes, Hungarian name order was the same then as it is today with the family
name first and given name second. This would only hold true however for an
ethnic Hungarian. Since Rumpolt appears to be a German, his name would be in
the usual order for German names.
