Abstracts

The study considers the origin of the City theatre in Pressburg at the end of the 19th century in relation to the cultural history of the city. The circumstances of the building of a new theatre by the well-known pair of architects Ferdinand Fellner jun. and Hermann Gottfried Helmer demonstrate the political and social situation in the city, which wanted to maintain a German character, while also satisfying the demand for Hungarian theatre from Hungarian members of elite urban societies. Thus, the building of the new theatre was closely connected with an effort to renew the cultural memory of the city and present its rich past using new media of cultural transfer, but it was also an instrument for the promotion of political interests.
