The paper describes the cultural and social history of Székesfehérvár at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The author introduces the modernization of a town with medieval traditions in the new age while also looking at the development and alteration of the concept of ’nation’ and national awareness, as these are some of the main components of identity development during the civilization process in the town. The author investigates the processes by which the majority of the residents became speakers of Hungarian from German, the dominant first language after the Turkish era.
