Abstract

Magyarkanizsa is a market-town situated alongside the Tisza River lying south of the city of Szeged. The people living there, most of them Hungarians and a Serb minority, were pleased to hear the news of the Revolution. After the Serb uprising in the Délvidék the good relationship between Hungarians and Serbs came to an end by June 1848. Magyarkanizsa delegated István Zákó to the first Representative Parliament. At the end of 1848 Kanizsa was given the state of a borough. However, in the following year, first the Hungarians and then the Serbs were forced to escape from the town. On 26 August 1849 the whole settlement burnt down when the Hungarian army recaptured it. Imperial and Royal Lieutenant General Georg Ramberg could retake only the burnt ruins of the town on 5 Augustus 1849. As for the data given by György Popovics town-clerk “1206 buildings burnt down out of the 1331 houses and outhouses, and the remaining 105 houses, which the flames did not reach, were deprived of their windows, doors and fences.”
