Déryné Róza Széppataki
Déryné Róza Széppataki ( Rozália Schenbach; 23 December 1793, Jászberény - 29 September 1872, Miskolc), known as Déryné, was the first acclaimed female opera singer of Hungary and the best-known actress of early Hungarian theater. Early life Rozália Schenbach was born as the daughter of Nina Riedl and Josef Schenbach, an apothecary from Vienna settled in Jászberény. Her father died when she was five, and her mother, Nina, left with two little girls, as well as six boys from her husband's previous marriage, found it increasingly hard to maintain their livelihood. As a woman, she was not allowed to run the apothecary alone, and the municipality appointed overseers for short terms of office to operate the business, but their frequent replacement resulted in poor management. One of them, a Mr. Gruber, regaled young Rozália with wonderful tales of the Budapest theatrical scene, and she started to dream about joining the world of actors, even though she had never seen a ...

It is about from Budapest. History The oldest archeological finds from the Jászság, the area around Jászberény, originate from nomadic people of the stone-age and date back 16500 years B.C. Excavations (2002) in Jászberény and Jásztelek aiming for traces of the hunter and gatherers of the mesolithic in the northern part of the Great Hungarian Plain by Róbert Kertész detected distinct indications of settlements.

Thus, the ice-age coniferous forests were gradually replaced by deciduous forests, the eco-system changed and a new fauna was established in the Carpathian basin. Under the pressure of climate change, the formerly nomadic people settled down. Traces from that time indicate that people actively planted common ...
