Komárom - Fort Monostor - Fort Csillag - Fortress Komárno - 4K
Komárom is a city in Hungary on the south bank of the Danube in Komárom-Esztergom county. Bordering with Komárno, Slovakia on the northern bank. The fortress played an important role in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and many contemporary English sources refer to it as the Fortress of Comorn.
The town was heavily damaged in the 1763 Komárom earthquake.
The city of Komárom was formerly a separate suburban village called Újszőny. In 1892 Komárom and Újszőny were connected with an iron bridge and in 1896 the two towns were united under the name Komárom.
The center was split by the newly created border of Czechoslovakia in 1918. In 1920 Hungary agreed and signed the Treaty of Trianon in which Hungary recognized the newly established borders including the border with the democratic Czechoslovak Republic. Hungary lost 2⁄3 of its territory here, creating a sizable Hungarian minority in Slovakia. The Czechoslovak (Slovak) part is now Komárno, Slovakia.
Komárom and Komárno are connected by two bridges: The iron bridge and a newer lifting bridge. A third bridge is planned, with the vast majority of funding coming from the EU's Connecting Europe Facility.
The two towns used to be a border crossing between Czechoslovakia (later Slovakia) and Hungary, until both countries became part of the Schengen Area, resulting in all immigration and customs checks being lifted on December 12, 2007.

Komárom fortress, Hungary
SEE MY HISTORY GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
This is the fortress of Komárom in northern Hungary built officially as part of the outer ring of defences for Vienna in the second part of the nineteenth century but more, I suspect, as a result of the revolutions of 1848 in an effort to control an increasingly uneasy population in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although I was not able to enter due to the flooding on the Danube river which occured in early June 2013, one can nontheless get an idea of how large it is. It was completed towards the end of the nineteenth century. Although not much use as a fortress against the military, it did serve as a barracks for the Austro Hungarian and later Hungarian armies and was also used a 'secret' military ammunition store by the Soviet occupation forces. I believe that the Nazis may also have used it as a transit camp for Jews and Gypsies who were being deported out of Hungary in 1944.
The location of the site may have been used in the past. The Danube was the border of the Roman Empire with the nearby fortresses of Brigetio and Celamantia. Whilst fighting against border incursions the Emperor Marcus Aurelius must have been in the area - although then it was heavily forested and the Emperor Valentinianus died here on 17 November 375CE after defeating local tribes.
The area of the fortress found itself on the border again and was strengthened after the Mongol Invasion in 1424. Later it defended Austria against the Ottoman Empire but as the Ottomans pulled out of Hungary it found itself in the middle of the Habsburg territories.
The decision to built the fortress in its current form was taken in 1850 with three large fortresses. The other two are in Przemyśl (now Poland) and Petervarad (now Serbia).
At Komarom three large independent, but co-operating structures were built. Planners also aimed to be able to shelter 250,000 people inside their walls.
The city of Komárom was formerly a separate suburban village called Újszőny. In 1892 Komárom and Újszőny were connected with an iron bridge and in 1896 the two towns were united under the name Komárom.
The centre was split by the newly created border of Czechoslovakia in 1920 following the Treaty of Trianon in which Hungary lost two thirds of its territory creating a sizeable Hungarian minority in Slovakia and meant that the fortress was now on the border. The Czechoslovak (Slovak) part is now Komárno, Slovakia.
Komárom and Komárno are connected by two bridges: The iron bridge and a newer lifting bridge. The two towns used to be a border crossing between Czechoslovakia (later Slovakia) and Hungary, until both countries became part of the Schengen Area, resulting in all immigration and customs checks to be lifted on 12 December 2007.
My channel on you tube : is very prolific. I have produced over 2,500 original films.
My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects. For those that want to know more, I have groups on facebook related to motorhome travelling, history and industrial packaging.
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
I am very fortunate that I can spend a large part of my life travelling, thanks to the business I chose to run which allows me to do this. There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

Útfejlesztés Komáromban
Felújították az Újszállási utat Komáromban. Az elmúlt időszakban csaknem másfél kilométeres szakaszon újult meg és szélesedett ki az ipari parki útszakasz. A mintegy 300 millió forintos önkormányzati beruházással nemcsak az ipari park, hanem Komárom és a koppánymonostori városrész is fejlődött. A részletekről tartottak sajtótájékoztatót január 16-án a helyszínen.
