Abstracts GÁBOR WINKLER Historical study of the southern suburb of Sopron The town of Sopron grew up in the 13th century within walls built on Roman foundations. Anyone building outside the castle faced having their houses tom down. Despite royal prohibition, the need for access to a market and tensions between German- and Hungarian-speaking inhabitants prompted people in the 13th century to move to land outside the castle walls. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, four outlying districts - fertály, derived from Viertel, built up beyond the glacis, the broad protective strip left empty between the town centre and the outer districts. Mayor Kristóf Lackner built a second wall around these suburbs between 1617 and 1627. By the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, nearly two thirds of the population were living outside the castle wall, in areas bounded by the external walls. The layout of buildings in the south, along the Langezeile - now the streets Hosszúsor, Móricz Zsigmond utca, Magyar utca and Széchenyi tér (square) - and the approximately perpendicular Pócsi utca and its surroundings, has largely remained intact ever since. Archive research has discovered the plans of still-standing buildings and traced step by step how the buildings in the suburb gradually took on an “urban” character. The area has gone through several changes in status over the last two hundred years, and is now somewhat neglected and disordered, no longer the respectable area of town it was. The paper makes recommendations for improvement of certain blocks and protection of the townscape and the surviving architecture.
