Falk Miksa (Max) 1828 -1908
100 years ago Max Falk the editior in chief of the "Pester Llyod" died in Budapest.
He was close to the famous princess "Sissi" and connected with the KUK monarchy even though political liberal. After his studies of law and philosphy he lived in Vienna for some years and worked as journalist before he returned to Hungary. With support of Duke Julius Andrássy he was elected chief editor of the "Pester Lloyd". From 1875 he was member of parliament, and as chairman of the association of journalists he founded the first social insurance for journalists in Hungary.
The sculpture on his tomb is a creation by Kallos, Ede.
