1919–1941Njegoševa Street
Njegoševa Street, Novi Sad, Restamped for Wartime Occupation
A quiet residential street lined with plastered facades, where two cyclists and several pedestrians pass a school or institutional building. The printed caption at the bottom of the card gives the street's name as Njegoševa ulica in both Serbian Cyrillic and Latin script, with no Hungarian on the original print. A later purple rubber stamp reading Ujvidek, Neusatz has been added across the top of the card. The printed caption places the photograph in Yugoslav Novi Sad, and the stamp shows this particular card was reused with wartime Hungarian and German names afterward.
About this place
A short street of just under 350 metres running from Liberty Square past Trifković Square, first settled by German merchants from 1739-40; part of it already appears on the 1745 city plan and it had its present outline by the end of the 18th century. It was long known as White Ship street (German Weisse Schiff-Gasse, Hungarian Fehér-hajó utca) after the famous Bela lađa tavern at No. 5, then renamed after Hungarian prime minister Gyula Andrássy in the 1890s, and after the First World War given the name of the poet-bishop Petar II Petrović Njegoš. Its landmarks include the Art Nouveau Iron Man palace of 1909 at No. 2 and the 1880s school building at No. 22, built as a Hungarian state girls' school and now the Svetozar Marković Gymnasium.
