Abstract

After the establishment of the Austro–Hungarian Empire (1867), during the dualist period, was when Magyrakanizsa was closest to the oft mentioned Western Europe. A significant portion of its administrative, educational, religious and economic institutions were founded during this time. Apart from the rapid economic development the self-aware middle-class was also gaining strength. The desire for quality entertainment and community culture also grew which the Délvidék’s (Southern Region) townships sought to satisfy. The turn of the century can be considered the golden age of civil organizations. Belonging to a civil organization as a sign of middle class poise and serious societal rank is characteristic of this period. The most active organizations’ pre-WWI ( First Magyarkanizsa Table, Lords’ Casino, The Ó-Kanizsa Volunteer Firefighters’ Society and the Jewish Women’s Society, the Magyarkanizsa Youth Society for Community Culture, etc.) function, work, community forming power and effect on local cultural life are discussed by the author. There were two important periodicals during the dualist era in Magyarkanizsa the Kanizsai Újság (Kanizsa Newspaper, 1908–1915) and the Kanizsai Ellenõr (Kanizsa Inspector) from 1911. The subjects covered by the aforementioned media faithfully represent the most important scenes of local social, economic and cultural life during the period.
