KÉZMŰVESSÉG - IPARTÖRTÉNET - Marozsán Zsolt: A Zsolcai kapu mint a miskolci gépgyártás egykori központja

The Zsolca Gate: a former centre of the machine industry in Miskolc The Zsolca Gate, as shown by its name, was once one of the gates of Miskolc and a tolling place. It stood on the road leading to Kassa (Kosice, Slovakia) which passed through Miskolc. The marshland area was built up at the turn of the 18th- 19th centuries because the town expanded along the Kassa road. A royal salt office, mills, barracks, a market hall, manor-houses, the Gömör railway station and various industrial workshops were established in the area. Miskolc did not have a machine industry in the genuine sense of the word because this industry was concentrated in Budapest. The town did have smaller plants which regarded themselves as factories; the one at the Zsolca Gate was the concentration of these plants. Miksa Leszih's economic machine factory, Jenő Here's machine factory and iron foundry, Sámuel Moskovits's iron foundry and machine factory, the Szilágyi and Diskant motor, machine and mill factory, the Fried machine factory and iron foundry, and the Miskolc Foundry and Machine Factory Ltd. must by all means be mentioned. These factories flourished during the interwar period. Many of them ceased or were nationalised after World War 2 and the centre of industrial production shifted to Diósgyőr. Zsolt Marozsán 198
