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.

Dezső Baron Bánffy de Losoncz (1843-1911)

Dezső Baron Bánffy
Dezső Baron Bánffy was a politician. He was Prime Minister of Hungary from 1895 to 1899 until his cabinet was outlawed and he was deposed. Bánffy was considered a brutal prime minister, especially his harsh reactions on the upcoming socialist movement and the strike of rural workers contributed to his fall. The figure on the tomb embraces the hungarian flag, probably a symbol for his nationalist attitude. The sculpture was designed by KALLÓS Ede.
