Unlängst waren wir im Kaf­fee­haus und haben getan, was man im Kaf­fee­haus halt so tut: Kaf­fee trin­ken und das Gespräch am Nach­bar­tisch mög­lichst unauf­fäl­lig belau­schen. Das geht am bes­ten in die Lek­tü­re einer Zei­tung ver­tieft, doch was tun, wenn alle anstän­di­gen Zei­tun­gen besetzt sind und nur noch das Raiff­ei­sen-Zen­tral­or­gan ver­füg­bar ist? Man liest also einen Kurier und […]

Hand hoch, wer von euch kennt Karl Goldmark? Vermutlich nicht alle, daher hier ein paar Eckpunkte: 1830 in der Nähe des Balaton geboren, verbrachte er seine Kindheit in Deutschkreutz, das unter dem Namen “Zelem” zu den berühmten Siebengemeinden zählt. Das ist eine Gruppe von sieben kleinen Städten im damals ungarischen Burgenland, die im 18. und 19. Jahrundert zu den Zentren des jüdischen […]

Going to School in Hungary in the 1950s

April13,2026 The first memory that came to mind when I thought about attending elementary school in the early 1950s was getting hit on the knuckles with a ruler by a nun because I wrote with my left hand, and the nuns trained me to use my right hand for writing. I was eight years old. While searching for a Catholic school in Sopron, Hungary on Google Maps, I found the St. Orsolya Roman Catholic School (run by the Ursulines, established in 1757), and the road I took to go to this school came […]

#Szombathely 🇭🇺 in June 2011, at dusk, at about nine in the evening. That day, I travelled from #Zagreb 🇭🇷 to #Vienna 🇦🇹 on board train #284. This through service, via #Hungary, only existed for about two years, if I remember well.
A #GySEV Class #V43 electric will take us as far as #Sopron.

Sopron, Hungary, 1968

Fortepan has added several thousand photographs to the archive from Hungarian architect Anikó Gazda. During the communist era, Gazda worked on the preparation and restoration of listed buildings, and was widely regarded as a leading authority on both Hungarian folk architecture and synagogue architecture. Although many of her images document buildings, her work is equally shaped by a deep interest in the people who lived in and around them.

This photo of hers caught my eye because of the way the three people in it bring life to a scene that would otherwise be just formal angles of buildings and streets.
