József Kiss" The stone works were carried out by Károly Hoffmann, the marble works by Kálmán Weiszberger, the bronze wreath on the top of the monument by Ignác Baumgarten, made by the chief engineer of the Transdanubia Steam Mill and Power Plant with his own hands. The inauguration took place on May 11, 1924, as part of a grand ceremony."
