Thefirst four Championships were held in Slovakia, in the country which initiated thecreation of ESHRKF. It is an honor for us that the organization of the fifthChampionships is again in Slovakia. Last Championships were marked by a spirit of quality sporting performanceand number of participants, especially in the youth categories. We expect that ourefforts will achieve higher quality at our competitions. With all my heart I wish all the participants and organizers lot of sportingsuccess and happiness.

Thank you for coming to Nové Zámky.

Peter Baďura Jr.

Chairman of Organizing Committee

Town Nové Zámky has a distinguished history. From the second half of the10th century until 1918, it was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. A fortress wasbuilt, against the Ottoman Turks, on the site of an older settlement in the years1573–81. Between 1589 and 1663, the settlement was the seat of the Captaincy ofLower Hungary. The town developed around the fortress. The huge new fortresswas one of the most modern fortresses in Europe when it was built, a primeexample of the star fortress which was considered to be adapted to the advancein artillery in the preceding centuries. The Turks failed to conquer it six times (except Turkish rule between 1566–1595 and 1605–1606, but in 1663 they managed to do so. It was made the centerof a Turkish eyalet in present-day southern Slovakia – with thesubordinate sanjaks of Litra, Leve, Novigrad, Holok, Bukabak and Şefradi.

The saying "Strong as a Turk in front of Nové Zámky", which means working withdetermination and stability, reflects the memory of conquest determination of theTurks.

In 1685 it was conquered by the imperial troops of Charles V, Duke of Lorraine.Six years later, it received town privileges from the Esztergom archbishop.

The town also played an important role in many anti-Habsburg uprisings in thenorthern parts of Royal Hungary in the 17th century. Emperor Charles VI had itrazed in 1724–1725, to prevent potential further insurrections which would usethe fortress as their base.

After break-up of Austria-Hungary in 1918/1920, the town became part of newlycreated Czechoslovakia. As a result of the First Vienna Award, it was occupied byHungary between 1938 and 1945. Finally, during World War II (1944), the town washeavily damaged by bombings of the Allies. Only small parts of the fortress arestill standing today. It is, however, still depicted on the city's coat of arms.
