Pasarét

Pasarét is a neighbourhood on the Buda side of Budapest.

On the maps edited around the beginning of the nineteenth century it was called Sauwiesen (Pig-meadow) and also as Schmalzbergel (Fat-hill). In cities people spoke German as well, it was the countryside that preserved the Hungarian language). On earlier army maps simply as Ried (meadow). As here were the river meadows of the Serbs (rácok) living under the castle-district this place was also called pasa (which is meadow in Serbian). In 1847 connected the two same meaning words Gábor Döbrentei to form the present name of this part of Buda.

The first vehicle of the Budapest Cog-wheel Railway ran from 4 p.m. on June 24, 1874, and regular traffic began on the following day.

The clay-mines which made possible to build up the road in Pasarét in the 1880's were on the place of the now Vasas Sporttelep (Sport Stadion).

The huge Ludovika Engineer Academy was built up in 1895 vis-á-vis the than woody excursionspot with famous restaurant-gardens "Szép Ilona". After creating an association for settling down became the Pasarét the villa-quartier in the beginning of the twentieth century. Great artists and scientists settled here. One of them was Béla Bartók.
