Bridgekeepers (2004-2005)

If we google the Hungarian word “hídmester” (bridgekeepers), we get 67 results. Doing the same with “Erzsébet híd” (Elisabeth bridge), the number of hits is 115 000. They are the representatives of an ancient yet invisible profession:

Péter Bene (Erzsébet bridge)

Imre Fazekas (Margit bridge)

János Fazekas (Chain bridge)

Balázs Rehák (Lágymányosi bridge)

Béla Kubik (Árpád bridge)

Levente Szittya (Szabadság bridge)

and István Kovács (Petőfi bridge).
