Technické pamiatky a rozvoj priemyslu | Prešporské pondelky

The modern face of our city was shaped by factory chimneys, bridge structures, railway lines and bold technical solutions that turned the city into a dynamic industrial center.

The lecture will present the story of the transformation of Prešpork from a craft and trade town to an industrial metropolis of the 19th and 20th centuries.

We will focus on key industries, as well as on specific businesses that fundamentally influenced the economic and urban development of the city. We will also take a closer look at the importance of transport structures, including bridges and tram transport, which conditioned the boom in production and trade.

We also pay attention to drinking water, sewage, electricity, factory premises and industrial details hidden in today's urban structure.
Prešporské Mondays will show how industry changed the social structure of the population, brought new professions and created working-class neighborhoods.

Prešporské Mondays - a cycle of ten thematic lectures focuses not only on major historical events and famous personalities, but also on less visible stories of streets, squares, crafts, church orders and minorities that shaped the face of Prešpork. Lectures are given in an understandable and engaging form, supplemented with contemporary interesting facts, contexts and stories.
Prešporské Mondays are intended for all those interested in the history of the city - for laymen and enthusiasts who want to get to know Bratislava more deeply, in a wider context and with an emphasis on its unique character.

You will be guided through the topics by Peter Fiala, a guide of Bratislava Wanderings and the series Date with the City BKIS, a member of the Association of Bratislava Guides.
