100th anniversary of the opening of the first tramway in Bratislava
200 Sk commemorative silver coin
Beginning of the 1890s Bratislava had approximately 53,000 inhabitants. The increase in growth of the city gave rise to the construction of tramways in the streets. This progressive form of urban transport was introduced in Bratislava, two years earlier than in Vienna and Budapest the metropolises of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The track was constructed by a consortium formed by the Austrian engineer Alexander Werner and the companies Lindheim and Co. of Vienna, and Ganz and Co. of Budapest. The ceremonial opening took place on 27.8.1895. The track measured 3,125 metres, had 12 stops, and the maximum speed of the trams was 24 km per hour.
