Understand
The village and the island were named after the first comes
(Hungarian: ispán) of the area, Csepel. Csepel Island became
the personal domain of Árpád after the migration of
Hungarians into Pannonia in the early 10th century. It
remained a favourite resort of the Hungarian kings in the
Middle Ages. From 1484 onwards Csepel was the wedding
present to future Hungarian queens. The Ottoman Turks
totally destroyed the village and the royal manor house in the
16th century. At the end of the 17th century, Serb refugees
from Turkish-occupied Serbia settled here. At the beginning
of the 18th century Prince Eugene of Savoy, owner of the
island, re-established the settlement and populated it with
German colonists. It became an independent municipality in
1742. The original village was located in the present-day
freeport (Szabadkikötő) area but it was totally destroyed by
the great flood of 1838. The new village was built on higher
ground, in present-day Ófalu (Old Village). Formerly it was a
working-class borough with several factories; there was even
a bicycle named Csepel. Today, Csepel contains housing
estates as well as middle-class garden suburbs.
