Location and dates

Soroksár lies in the Pest plain. In the north of the 23rd district lies the 20th district and in the west the Soroksár junction of the Danube forms the border. The Gyáli Brook , which has been straightened and heavily polluted since the 1970s, flows into it. The 21st district and Szigetszentmiklós are on the opposite bank . In the south, the towns of Dunaharaszti , Alsónémedi and Gyál border the district and to the east is the 18th district .

Soroksár is a rather quiet part of the city as the larger streets run on the edge of the district. In the west this is the Soroksári út and in the east the M5 motorway . Important means of transport are the Ráckever HÉV and the Budapest- Kiskunhalas - Kelebia railway line . Both lines have stops in the center.

The 23rd district consists of the districts Millenniumtelep , Soroksár and Soroksár-Újtelep .

history

The place Soroksár was destroyed under the Turkish rule. The resettlement of German immigrants did not begin until 1724. The area came into the possession of Antal Grassalkovich , which delayed the speed of settlement. In the middle of the 18th century Soroksár became a village again. Under Maria Theresa it received market rights and became a minority . At the end of the 19th century it received the rank of a large municipality in the Ráckave district of the former Pest-Pilis-Solt-Kiskun county . In addition to the separated branch of the Danube, there were 1,366 houses with 12,143 residents in 1891. Of these, 4410 were of Hungarian , 7120 of German and 150 of Slovak descent. The proximity to the capital favored economic development. At that time Erzsébetfalva , Kossuthfalva and Gubacsipuszta belonged to Soroksár. As a result of the Second World War , 3898 Hungarian Germans were expelled. On January 1, 1950, Soroksár was annexed to Budapest and incorporated into the 20th district. On September 27, 1992, the separation of Pesterzsébet was approved in a referendum. The population of the 23rd district thus created elected the first municipal parliament on December 11, 1994. Acting mayor in 2008 was Ferenc Geiger from the “Association of Soroksár Civil Organizations and Persons” ( Soroksári Civil Szervezetek és Személyek Egyesülete ).

Sports

The official sports club of the 23rd district is Soroksár SC . The football club retired from the NB2 (2nd league in Hungary) in the 2007-2008 season. In Soroksár there is still the weightlifting club Soroksári Súlyemelő és Szabadidősport Egyesületnek (SoSE), which has produced 50 national champions as well as numerous European and world champions since it was founded in 1995. He is one of the most successful clubs in the country. The International Soroksár Cup in Weightlifting Soroksár Kupa Nemzetközi Súlyemelő verseny is organized in the vicinity of the club every year .
