The Budapest100 database

Since the launch of Budapest100 in 2011, we have tried to find and invite all the houses to join that are related to the theme of the year. Every year we collect around 2-300 buildings in a list, and invite them to join the programme. On average, 40-50 of these buildings will finally open their doors during the Budapest100 weekend each year, and it is mainly these that will be the subject of detailed research, while the rest will have an online house data sheet containing the basic information.. Each year, the research – the basis for building history exhibitions, games, quizzes and even permanent displays in the houses – is carried out by enthusiastic volunteers who have a passion for urban history.

In the map below, we have indicated all the buildings contacted, so it is intended to make the database, which is growing year by year, easy to search and browse.

Would you like to contribute with your research or even your personal memories to the history of the buildings? Contac us at budapest100@kek.org.hu!
