History

The plaque was placed on the wall of the Lutheran lyceum in 1896. Petőfi Sándor, the great poet of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in 1848, attended the lyceum between 1838 and 1839. He has a memorial plaque on the wall of the building. Petőfi failed in Hungarian history because of his Slovak teacher, who couldn't even speak in Hungarian and who hated the Hungarians because of his Panslavic ideas.
