Pressburg Interiors

"Home is a mirror image of the spirit that dwells within it; it is an expression of personality, a fragment of cultural history. And the doors of home do not naturally open to everyone — it is a sanctuary to which only a certain circle of people has access…". With these words, historian Štefan Holčík addresses the reader in the introduction to a book about the lives and households of distinguished and simply distinctive Pressburgers. What life looked like in the closest family and friendly circles of the Rigel family, the Jurenák family, the Steiner family, and also, for example, in the home of Hansi's cousin Eugen Lehner — or rather his mother Gertrúda Lehnerová (née von Fischer) — can be discovered in this very book.
