The name Eger derives from the Hungarian word égerfa (alder tree). In German, the town is known as Erlau, in Latin as Agria. History Eger has been inhabited since the Stone Age. During the early Middle Ages the area was inhabited by German, Avar, and Slavonic tribes. The area was taken over by the Hungarians in the 10th century. St. Stephen (997--1038), the first Christian king of Hungary, founded an episcopal see in Eger. The first cathedral of Eger was built on Castle Hill, within the present site of Eger Castle. Eger grew up around its former cathedral and has remained an important religious center in Hungary since its foundation. The 14th-16th centuries were an age of prosperity for Eger. Winegrowing, for which the town is still famous, began to be important at that time. The bishops of Eger built beautiful buildings in the city during the reign of King Matthias (1458-1490) when Hungary began to be imbued with Renaissance culture. During the Turkish occupation of Central Hungary, Eger became an important border fortress, successfully defended by Hungarian forces in the 1552 Siege of Eger, in the face of overwhelming odds. The castle's defenders under the command of Captain István Dobó are said to have numbered fewer than 2,000, including women and children, but successfully held off a Turkish army of 80,000 soldiers. Most Hungarians know the version of this story found in the novel "Eclipse of the Crescent Moon" (Hungarian "Egri csillagok", lit. "stars of Eger&quot by the 19th century Hungarian author Gárdonyi Géza, which is set reading under the Hungarian national curriculum. However, Eger was attacked in 1596 by a bigger army of Turks, who took over the castle after a short siege. Then followed 91 years of Ottoman rule in which Eger was the seat of a Turkish vilayet (administrative division). Churches were converted into mosques, the castle rebuilt, and other structures erected, including public baths and minarets. The rule of the Turks in Central Hungary began to collapse after a failed Ottoman attempt to capture Vienna. The Vienna-based Habsburgs, who controlled the rest of Hungary, apart from Transylvania, steadily expelled the Turks out of the country. The castle of Eger was starved into surrender by the Christian army led by Charles of Lorraine in 1687, after the castle of Buda had been retaken in 1686. Eger CastleEger soon began to prosper again. The city was reclaimed by its bishops, which caused many local Protestants to leave. Although the city supported the Hungarian leader Prince Francis II Rákóczi in the 1703-1711 war of independence against the Habsburgs, the Hungarians were eventually defeated by the Imperial army. Soon after that, the city was ravaged by plague. However, immigration into Eger was strong, and the population rose from 6000 to 10,000 between 1725 and 1750. Many new buildings were built in Baroque and later in Zopf style, including the Episcopal Palace, the county hall, the Lyceum (now housing the Eszterházy College of Education) and several churches, while others were reclaimed from being mosques. The 19th century began with disasters: a fire that destroyed half he town in 1800, and a collapse of the south wall of the Castle in 1801, which ruined several houses. Eger became the seat of an archbishopric in 1804, and the church remained in firm control of the city, despite efforts by its citizens to obtain greater freedom. In 1827, much of the city center was damaged by fire again, and four years later over 200 were killed in an epidemic. The inhabitants of Eger took an active part in the revolution in 1848. Even though the revolution was suppressed, the age of landowners and serfs had gone forever, and the municipality gained freedom from the rule of the archbishop in 1854. However, the main railway line between Miskolc and Pest failed to pass through the city, which was only later by a branch line from Füzesabony. Economic recovery was slow after World War I, although the 1899 publication of Gárdonyi's "Eclipse of the Crescent Moon" made Eger popular as a tourist attraction and archaeological excavation of the castle began. In World War II, the city suffered under the retreating German army and the arriving Soviet army, but it managed to escape bombardment. Eger today is a prosperous city and popular tourist destination with a charming Baroque town center. ?? ????? ????????? ????????? ?? ??????? ? 1552 ???? ???????? ???????? ???? ????????. ??????? ?????????? ???????? ??? ????????????? ???????? ??????? ????, ??????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ??????????? ????????????? ??? ??????????

Budapest, Hungary www.budapestinfo.hu filmje Buda Castle District, Metro: M2 Moszkva tér, M2 Batthyány tér, Várbusz (Castle Bus) The Fishermen's Bastion (designed by Frigyes Schluek) is made up of seven round towers - each one symbolising the seven Magyar tribes that effectively gave rise to the nation a thousand years earlier. Almost fairytale like in appearance, its decorative white rampart and flowing staircases stretch alongside the eastern front of the Mátyás Templom. According to tradition, the area directly behind the church housed a local fish market during medieval times - hence the name of the Bastion. During the 18th century, the Guild of Fisherman are also said to have traditionally defended this part of the castle wall. The glorious views of Parliament and Pest beyond are simply breathtaking. In fact, there's arguably no finer place in Budapest to propose to your nearest and dearest, or go for a romantic stroll on a warm summer's night! Fishermen's Castle In previous years, the area directly opposite the entrance to the Mátyás Templom was also chock-full of stalls selling Hungarian lace and other traditional souvenirs. These have since been relocated further afield towards the Royal Palace at Disz tér. However, local artists still beckon tourists to sit for caricatures, which curiously enough, all finish up with the same exaggerated facial features. (www.talkingcities.co.uk) "I was amazed when I discovered that this imposing neo-Gothic or neo-Romanesque structure was not built until 1895-1905. It is named after the Guild of Fishermen, who were responsible for defending this section of castle wall in the Middles Ages and who operated a fish market behind the nearby Matyas Church. The structure was designed by the same architect who rebuilt Matyas Church and it is purely decorative. Frankly, I wanted to consider it medieval. It looks medieval, it offers one of the best views in Budapest, and it fits perfectly with my picture of what this fort should be like. The seven white turrets apparently represent the seven Magyar tribes who entered this region in the 9th century. You can walk narrow stairways, explore secret corners, and generally imagine you are patrolling the parapet of ancient castle. It was great. The Bastion is a wonderful place for photographs. I was not particularly successful, but with correct lighting and inspired choice of position, you can produce a masterpiece here. That alone makes it worthwhile visiting for some. I was there mid-morning, but best views towards Pest are obtained early afternoon. During the peak season, there is a charge for visiting the upper level, but when I visited at the end of October, no charge applied and few people were enjoying the experience. Between the Bastion and the church, there is a fine statue of King Stephen, honouring the founder of the Hungarian nation and its incorporation into European civilization."

Es erhebt sich auf dem Burgberg an der Stelle des mittelalterlichen Fischmarkts von Buda. Der Name stammt von einer Fischergilde, für die das Monument errichtet wurde. Diese Gilde hatte im Mittelalter diesen Abschnitt der Stadtmauer zu verteidigen. Das skurrile Bauwerk, das mit seinen konischen Türmen an die Zelte der Magyaren erinnern soll, wird als Aussichtsterrasse auf Donau und Pest genutzt. Vor der Bastei steht eine Reiterstatue aus Bronze des heiligen Stephan, des Königs, der das Christentum in Ungarn verbreitete. 1906 wurde sie vom Bildhauer Alajos Stróbl entworfen und gefertigt. Das Postament, worauf die Statue ruht, wurde ebenfalls nach Plänen von Frigyes Schulek im neoromansichen Stil errichtet. Es ist mit Zierelementen geschmückt, die das Leben von König Stephan darstellen. Gleichfalls in unmittelbarer Nähe befindlich ist die überwiegend neogotische Matthiaskirche.
