XIX. century, the beginning of the plan has also been published in a
connecting Pest and Buda to construct a permanent bridge over the
Danube. This bridge could account for an area that is easily
accessible, not yet built and the city is relatively close to the
center. Two such places have been considered: one for today March 15
Tabán space and the other is today's Roosevelt Square and the area
between the rows. While the former was less than the distance
between the two banks, but the bed is narrowed due to rapid streams,
springs and the works have been significantly hampered. The decision
versions of the Castle Hill, however, so the future of the bridge
approach Vizivárosi the Tabán Krisztinaváros and places would have
been quite uncomfortable, as soon as the castle would have had to
climb down from there in the Buda abutment.
In 1837, Daniel Novak engineer has proposed that a tunnel linking
Buda and Pest together. This is a sloping tunnel incision was
started in the parish Krisztinaváros beside and across the Danube in
Budapest have been discovered in the street Mázsa surface. Despite
the fact that by this time have built a tunnel in London, this plan
was unworkable, so a year later, the author has put forward a more
modest version.
In 1842, István Széchenyi Hill suggested the drill-through. In 1845
adopted the final draft, which is similar to Novak plan, but
engineer from Clark.

Section of the tunnel
plan
Reputation at home and abroad went to the tunnel construction, the
news report also provided several pages about it already in 1845 and
1848, when the work has not started yet. The construction company
was granted the iránytáró drilling is planned to be started in April
1848 have been added, but in the meantime the revolution broke out.
Haynau later, Alexander Bach, and then failed because of the work
since it relied on the strategic role of the Castle. The Austrians
saw an attempt of the tunnel plan, which is intended to undermine
the strength of the Castle.
Joseph Ürményi reorganized company building the tunnel. Franz Josef
800 tons of gunpowder in the building in exchange for free passage
of the army was providing the facility.

The Governor's Council in 1845, yet the condition imposed on the
design: first the workers a 4-foot-tall, 3 feet wide tunnel to carry
two mountain sides. Later it was extended in 1851 with the passage
of two strong wrought-iron gates to be closed, so as to prevent the
vent through the tunnel to the castle can not access any bombers.
Austrian officials in addition to many other people were also wary,
because many of the plan was considered suspicious because it was
authorized. Many people were convinced that the hand of Vienna which
is the only mean bad luck for us. And almost everyone agreed that
the tunnels will not be launched from two directions meet each other.
The miners were only a thin wall between the grooves, which is the
1853rd On 25 October the company's management in the presence of the
tunnel broke through the entrances and yellow and black flags
lobogózták up. The company's president, Joseph Ürményi Szechenyi
hailed his speech, and then unfurled after the partition, the guests
went over the hill below.
The tunnels so they met each other against it, so that the work is
accelerated. Clark, governor of the decree that tentatively the
first time only two one-meter-wide tunnel is build, has been ignored.
The St. George area is recessed 39 feet deep pit hordatta off the
rock. A kerosene lamp provided illumination.
1856th March 6, the cost of the work so far progressed that the
permeable for pedestrians, the tunnel was made. Then the people
still under the mine timber, high noise and dust are often large,
had access to it, was still free.
The Castle Hill over a period of seven and a half months have
drilled over 9.5 meters in width and 349.66 feet long. The center is
only 7.83 meters in height in the lighting of the entrances to rise
10.6 meters. Inside, it was nevertheless necessary gas lamps. The
wall was then covered with tiles, the stone was sold out on the
Danube embankment construction. The eastern facade is neoclassical
Clark, romantic western gate was designed by Louis Frey. The total
work 524 thousand forints.

1857th April 30 is the vinyl profiles for the opening of the tunnel,
but then the gates were not yet ready. From that date, all
passers-by had to pay a pennies a pedestrian, the owners of three
one-horse wagon, the wagon owners kétlovas and six pennies were
required to give the toll-collector. Even small amounts of this
income has been received pretty well, the first two months of 5968
to Ft enriched the owners.
The wealthy citizens of Pest and Buda Castle soon became fashionable
during átkocsizás. But others are happy to have visited the tunnel,
especially in the evening, when the gas lamps shining in the area is
flooded with light.
Only fully completed in 1858 after the construction. Reitter Ferenc
doorways of the tunnel, completed in Budapest kiépítője piers. The
governor declined to vasrácsokról, gateway to the Danube and the
simple, noble lines of decoration has become a Pest-Buda.

The turn of the century gave way to gas lighting, then the electric
lights from 1915.
In 1918, the usage fee was abolished, then in 1919, initially
covering the road over the stone replaced wood frames. In 1944, the
building is damaged, the recovery took place in 1949. The west gate
was reconstructed after the plans Benkhard Augustus. Then the road
was asphalt, and the 6-foot widened visible to 6.90 meters. In 1973,
the tunnel of Buda, Pest and Buda unification of the centenary of
refurbished and upgraded. |
