Csernus Lukács - Triff Zsigmond: The Cemeteries of Budapest - Our Budapest (Budapest, 1999)

Mosaic-covered wall in the vault of the Wellisch family

vine tendrils (the work of metal workers Forreider and Schiller) is now on display in the Hungarian National Gallery. Passing the next corner, we can take a look at the vault of Zsigmondi Kornfeld, one-time president of the Budapest Stock Exchange, bank manager and member of the tipper House. Another interesting mausoleum by Béla Lajta is that of the Gries family, which is decorated with a parabola shaped cupola covered with pyrogranite elements. Its interior mosaics have survived to this day, but its external covering has been destroyed. Designed by Ignác Alpár in the shape of a shrine of classical antiquity, the black marble vault of the Redlich-Ohrenstein family is certainly among the most impressive of its kind. The vault of Gyula Glückstáhl was planned by architects Tory and Pogány in neo-Baroque style (1915); another mausoleum of the Wellisch family was designed by architects Barát and Novák at the same time, following ancient prototypes. The majestic monument of the Clrbán family, ornamented with arches and columns, is the work of sculptor J. Philipp. Beyond the next corner is the vault of Samu Lichtenstein built in the style of Art Deco to plans by architect János Bentum; the huge vault of the Weingruber family, resting on an oval base, was built in the same style opposite the cross-roads between Sections 1/b and 6.
