History[]

It was built 1847 originally named István sor/ German: Stephans Weg (Stephan Road) after Archduke Stephen, making reference to the neighboring quarter of Herminamező, which is named after his twin sister Archduchess Hermine of Austria, who in 1842 died. The same logic lead to the quarter name of Istvánmező, the István sor was part of the borderline in between them.^[2]

The connection between the Dózsa György út to Hermina was rebaptized Ajtósi Dürer sor to commemorate the 400 years anniversary of the Albrecht Dürers death. The short section between Hermina and Francia út remained István sor until 1949, when it was due to the anti-nobility ideology of the Communist Regime restyled, too.^[3]
