Street name plate in memory of Kosciuszko

lieutenant general Dembiriski—transcribed as Dembinszky—is commemorated by street names in Districts VII, XV and XVIII. Next to the name plate on the corner of Dózsa György út and Dembinszky utca there is a small limestone plaque with the inscription: DEMBiriSKI HENRIK / 1791-1864 / Polish freedom fighter / lieutenant general in the Hungarian army / commander in chief of the Hungarian army in 1849.

There is a Zamenhof utca in District XVII, while the one next to it bears the name Eszperantó.

There was a street in Budapest named after Pilsudski between 1935 and 1950. (There were two before 1945 in Újpest and Soroksár as well, which became parts of Budapest by a public administration decree as of 1 January 1950.) Although his memorial plaque in District XII has been renovated, there is no street or square named after him at the present time.

Although there are many street names of Polish origin in the capital, there could, and indeed should, be more. One might think of the names of Copernicus or Chopin, of general Wysocki or the martyrs Woroniecki and Rulikowski.
