Angyalföld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angyalföld (German: Engelsfeld; literally: "Angel's Field") is a neighbourhood in Budapest, Hungary. Administratively it belongs to District 13th. The traditionally working class neighbourhood went through a process of gentrification due to the office-building boom of the 1990s.
[edit] Location
Angyalföld is located in the northern part of Pest, between the Danube and the railway lines.
The borders of Angyalföld are: the railway line from the Danube - Új Palotai út - Dugonics utca - Madridi utca - Szent László út - Kámfor utca - Tatai utca - Szegedi út - railway line towards Vác - Bulcsu utca - Lehel utca - Lehel tér (eastern and western sides) - Váci út - Meder utca - the Danube until the railway line.
[edit] Name
The original German name of the area, Engelsfeld was first mentioned in the 1830s. The origin of the name is uncertain. It had a narrower meaning because the names of three smaller neighbourhoods (Erdőtelkek, Felsőbikarét, Lőportárdűlő) were not revived after 1990. They became part of Angyalföld.
