Banovci (German: Schider Banovci,[5] Serbian Cyrillic: Бановци / Шидски Бановци,[6] Hungarian: Forró / Újbánóc);, also known as Šidski Banovci, is a village located in the Vukovar-Syrmia County of Croatia, near the Serbian border.[2] The village had a population of 256 as of the 2021 census.
Originally settled in the 1730s as the new village of Vinkovački Banovci, it is today part of the Nijemci Municipality. The village of Banovci has undergone several name changes over the past, reflecting the shifting political landscapes of the region. Historically referred to as "Small Switzerland," Banovci has a rich cultural and historical legacy, influenced by its Danube Swabians Protestant settlers. Today, the village is primarily inhabited by a Serb community and is known for the local Serbian Orthodox Church of the Holy Venerable Mother Parascheva, and its local football club, NK Borac, established in 1940.
The village is connected with the rest of the country by the D46 state road connecting it with the town of Vinkovci and continuing into Serbia as the State Road 120 to the nearest town of Šid and by the Zagreb–Belgrade railway and the Šidski Banovci railway station.
