Budapest is about 70 minutes from here by suburban train. R\u00e1ckeve can be reached by car by taking the M0 highway, through Hal\u00e1sztelek and Szigetszentmikl\u00f3s. From the lowland it is accessible through the Budapest-Baja main road No 51. The city’s old and new parts are connected with a bridge.<\/p>\n R\u00e1ckeve Local Government: Szent Istv\u00e1n Square 4. 2300 R\u00e1ckeve<\/strong> Szent\u00e1brah\u00e1mtelke was the predecessor town of R\u00e1ckeve. The first document mentioning it is from 1212.\u00a0 People who were escaping from the Turks settled down in Szent\u00e1brah\u00e1mtelke in 1439-1440 and created a free royal town with privileges.\u00a0 At the end of the 15th century, most of the town\u2019s inhabitants were Serbian merchants, who dealt with long-distance and local trade and shipment. Zsigmonds’s wife, the prevailing queen, received the city of R\u00e1ckeve along with the entire Csepel Island for a wedding-present.\u00a0 M\u00e1ty\u00e1s’s documents mention it as a royal possession. Csepel Island was Beatrix’s largest lot of private land.\u00a0 An Italian artist designed the Serbian church in 1487, in the style of M\u00e1ty\u00e1s’s gothic school.<\/p>\n After the occupation of Buda, R\u00e1ckeve became a city of the Turkish borderline. At the end of the 16th century, during the fifteen years war, it was destroyed but was quickly restored. After the fall of Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r in 1543, a huge group of Hungarian people settled down here.<\/p>\n Between 1684 and 1688 this area became a battlefield again because of the liberation of Buda. On the island, many villages became threatened by a dwindling population.<\/p>\n In 1698, prince Eugene of Savoya bought the island for 15,000 forints from Heisler Don\u00e1t’s widow.\u00a0 A declining Hungarian and Serbian population was augmented by German Catholics, who were given allowances for farming and building operations.<\/p>\n In 1702 the baroque castle of Eugene of Savoya was built by the plans of Johann Lucas von Hildebrand from Vienna. In 1728, the renowned military engineer Rosenfeldt came and created the maps of R\u00e1ckeve and Csepel Island.<\/p>\n In the 18th century M\u00e1ria Ter\u00e9zia reclaimed the island and gave it to her daughter Krisztina as a present for her wedding. The princess rented the region to Szaplonczay J\u00e1nos for 36,000 forints.\u00a0 From this point forward, the privileges of the town were no longer extended to the inhabitants of R\u00e1ckeve. Pet\u0151fi’s friend, \u00c1cs K\u00e1roly was born in R\u00e1ckeve and became a notable figure of the war of independence for his role in encouraging the inhabitants to turn against Vienna. After this, the emperor put him in jail. A few years later he was released and later played an important role in the translation of Serbian, Croatian and Romanian poetry.<\/p>\n After the fall of the war of independence, the development of R\u00e1ckeve stagnated.\u00a0 Although the railway connection between Budapest and R\u00e1ckeve was built in 1892, no industry had been established and in 1872 R\u00e1ckeve resigned its city rank.<\/p>\n In 1897 was the ribbon cutting ceremony for \u00c1rp\u00e1d-bridge. After the demolition of the old town hall in 1901, a new one was built in a secessionist style. A new neogothic protestant church was built in 1913. The Savoya castle was almost demolished too, because of the high restoration costs.<\/p>\n In 1920 R\u00e1ckeve’s population was 6524 inhabitants.<\/p>\n To commemorate the First World War, a statue was erected in 1930 with 133 names on it. The \u00c1cs K\u00e1roly Foundation built a Winter Agricultural School in 1940. In summer 1944 the Jewish people of R\u00e1ckeve were carried away, with very few of them ever to return.\u00a0 In 1944 Soviet forces came to liberate R\u00e1ckeve, but only 20 days earlier retreating German and Hungarian forces blew up the \u00c1rp\u00e1d-Bridge which was not to be restored until 1947.<\/p>\n After the war the administration and economy slowly regained its original shape.\u00a0 Land was distributed in R\u00e1ckeve and intellectual life renewed in several areas.\u00a0 The library was founded in 1948. In 1950 Ady Endre Secondary School from G\u00f6d\u00f6ll\u0151 came to R\u00e1ckeve, forming the intellectual centre of the town.\u00a0 The Catholic and the state schools merged to create the local primary school.\u00a0 In 1963, the \u00c1rp\u00e1d Museum was built.\u00a0 In the 1970s R\u00e1ckeve advanced further, and after some industrial development R\u00e1ckeve recouped its city rank.\u00a0 The environment and scenery of the town is really special for tourists.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Small region” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Als\u00f3n\u00e9medi\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Apaj\u00a0\u2013\u00a0\u00c1porka\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Bugyi\u00a0\u2013\u00a0D\u00e9legyh\u00e1za\u00a0\u2013\u00a0D\u00f6ms\u00f6d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Dunaharaszti\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Dunavars\u00e1ny\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Hal\u00e1sztelek Kiskunlach\u00e1za\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Kulcs\u00a0\u2013\u00a0L\u00f3r\u00e9v\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Majosh\u00e1za\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Mak\u00e1d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0R\u00e1calm\u00e1s\u00a0\u2013\u00a0R\u00e1ckeve\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Szigetbecse\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Szigetcs\u00e9p Szigethalom\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Szigetszentm\u00e1rton\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Szigetszentmikl\u00f3s\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Sziget\u00fajfalu\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Taksony\u00a0\u2013\u00a0T\u00f6k\u00f6l [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”62px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text] R\u00e1ckeve For centuries R\u00e1ckeve was the \u201ccapital\u201d of Csepel Island.\u00a0 It is 47 km from Budapest by the R\u00e1ckeve Danube branch.
