The neighborhood
Budapest is often mentioned as "The Pearl of the Danube", and consists of two main parts: the hilly Buda on the right bank of the Danube, and the mostly plain Pest on the left bank of the river. Seven bridges connect the two halves of the city. Budapest covers an area of 525 square km and has about 2 million inhabitants.
Óbuda
Óbuda (Old Buda) is the oldest part of Budapest situated in Buda. District 3 lies on the ruins of the huge, ancient military camp of Roman legionaries called Acquincum, the northernmost frontier of
the Roman Empire in continental Europe. Consequently, several
amphitheatres and artifacts have been unearthed here.
Medieval Óbuda used to be a suburb filled with silk refineries and
boat factories, forming part of Budapest by the time of its unification
in 1873. Óbuda was inhabited mostly by german-speaking Swabian
farmers, and, because of its village-like atmosphere, was a favorite
place of the petite bourgeoisie of Pest for outings.About Jewish history of Budapest
A Jewish community existed in Óbuda in the 15th century, and vanished after the Turkish conquest in 1526. In 1712 a Jewish settlement was renewed by Yaakov Lob. In 1727 there were 24 Jewish families living in Óbuda, under the protection of the counts of Zichy. In a document recognized by the royal court in 1766 the Jews were granted freedom of religion, trading rights against payment of special taxes, and permission to live anywhere in the town - a privilege granted in Óbuda only.The Jews of Óbuda practiced agriculture, commerce and various trades. The textile factories, established in Óbuda by Jews, among them the Goldberger company, had a reputation throughout Hungary. ... more
