Historical background
A fashionable building near to a green cart with second-hand books is the Erwin Sabo Central Library (Szabó Ervin tér 1). Once upon a time it was the well-known and loved by all the Budapest’s high society palace of the Wenkhein family. The marriage of Christina and Fridesh Wenkheim was scandalous. They were cousins and truly in love with each other, but all their relatives were against this misalliance. Christina was the heiress of a huge fortune and raised like a princess, but for everyone she was only a сhild of sin. Her dad was a Count, but her mother was a servant’s daughter. Like in fairytales, Christina and Arthur married against all the odds, and later all those people who were against this marriage became frequenters of their dancing routes in this building by architect Arthur Meinig. Now the Central Library is one of the best places in the city to spend some hours reading a book and having a cup of coffee in an outstanding, fairytale, almost Disney-ish environment.
