The present State Theatre was built more than 100 years ago and it took just two years to build it. Adolf Lang – one of the most talented European architects of 19th century, who projected some buildings in Budapest and taught at universities in Vienna, Romania and Holland as well- became entrusted with the construction. It is built in the style of eclecticism with elements of Neo-baroque style and seces- sion. The interior is richly decorated with plaster ornaments, the stage is lyre-shaped. The ceiling of the building is decorated with scenes from William Shakespeare’s tragedies Othello, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The reconstruction of the building was needed in the 90’s and after that the theatre was included between the most beautiful theatre buildings in Europe. 8 THEATRE The Diary of been translated into 60 languages, and it is for whom it is going to be the first guest perfor- the second most read book in the world after mance in the Košice State Theatre. “It was a big Anne Frank the Bible. challenge for me.

  • The Restricted Design Competition
    RIHA Journal 0198 | 10 September 2018 The Restricted Design Competition for the New York Life Insurance Company Building in Budapest A Late Nineteenth-Century International Design Competition in Central Europe Katalin Marótzy and Márton Székely Abstract Rapid industrialization and urbanization in Europe and the United States introduced new building types and new methods of construction, leading to important changes in the architectural landscape of major cities. Public and corporate construction proliferated, and design competitions were called upon to identify architectural projects that best suited the needs of a particular state institution or private company. Although initially these competitions were open to all members of the architectural profession, towards the end of the nineteenth century, their format changed to be more effective, with only a restricted number of architects competing for the commission. The present paper focuses on the competition for the New York Life Palace in Budapest and sheds light on its connections with the international trends. Introduction [1.] During the second half of the nineteenth century, Budapest, the capital of Hungary, was one of the most rapidly growing cities in Europe; by the 1910s, it had become one of the largest on the continent.1 Europe and post-Civil War United States became closer partners regarding economy, technology and, to a certain extent, architecture. The pace of economic development in the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries was unprecedented on both ends.2 The development of transportation and communication media created new opportunities for an international capitalism, and modern forms of foreign investments appeared in the industrialised countries.3 Corporations now 1 Gabor Preisich, Budapest városépítésének története Buda visszavételétől a II.

  • Tefiloh Sefas Yisroel
    A Brief History of The City Of Bad Homburg And Its Jewish Residents The city's name Homburg, which was derived from the castle "Hohenberg", appeared in 1500 for the first time. By 1528 the city was renamed Homburg vor der Höhe (translated as "Homburg in front of the height"). The word “Bad” is normally used as a prefix to denote that the town in question is a spa town. The town is best known for its medicinally used mineral waters and spa. The eight mineral springs which form the attraction of the town to strangers, belong to the class of saline acidulous chalybeates and contain a considerable proportion of carbonate of lime. Their use is beneficial for diseases of the stomach and intestines, and externally, for diseases of the skin and rheumatism. Homburg is located in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau, prettily situated at the south-east foot of the Taunus Mountain mountain range, located 12 kilometers north of Frankfort-on-Main, with which it is connected by rail. The local population is approximately 52,000. The tallest peak in the range is the 878 meters high Großer Feldberg. Other notable peaks are the Kleiner Feldberg (825 meters) and the Altkönig (798 meters). Homburg consists of an old and a new town, the latter, founded by the Landgrave Frederick II of Hessen- Homburg (d. 1708). Besides the palatial edifices erected in connection with the mineral water-cure, there are churches of various denominations, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Russian-Greek and Anglican, schools and benevolent institutions. On a neighboring hill stands the palace of the former landgraves, built in 1680 and subsequently enlarged and improved.
