Habsburg Pressburg, 1900
Pressburg in 1900 is a provincial Habsburg river town on the eve of modern change: trilingual streets sit beneath the castle while steamers and an iron bridge keep it linked to Vienna. The walk passes river quays and horse‑tram lines into the medieval core, through the new city theatre and the Jewish quarter, and out to the factories and suburbs where chimneys mark the town’s industrial edge.
