Siege of Buda (1849)

ordered him to defend the Danube line, or at least Buda castle, for as long as "the condition of the defensive features of the castle and of your food supply makes it possible". The commander-in-chief noted that Hentzi should respond to attacks and gunfire coming from the direction of Pest with bullets and grapeshot only, so as to spare the splendid buildings of the city, giving him permission to use roundshot and shell only if the population of Pest behaved in an unacceptable manner towards the imperials. But Hentzi did not respect this order, and bombarded Pest, destroying the Classical styled buildings on the shores of the Danube, and others in Pest, despite the fact that the inhabitants did nothing to provoke him, and despite a personal request from Görgei in this regard. Welden's letter informs Hentzi that the food supply of the castle was enough for 6 weeks and there was enough ammunition for the defense. It also states that any cannon to be found in Buda and Pest must be brought into the castle, the waterworks which enabled the defenders to be supplied with water from the Danube must be strengthened with firing platforms for cannon, and the palisades on the left bank of the Danube must be removed because they could be advantageous for the enemy.

1100: 1111:, the imperial commanders started to be more and more concerned about the defence of the capitals and of Buda Castle. Hentzi prepared a plan for the defence of the capitals, and after this was criticised because it did not include Buda Castle, he quickly made another one. But this plan was also criticized, by Colonel Trattnern, the director of imperial military engineering, criticisms which were later proved to be justified. Hentzi thought that the cannon in the 1st to 4th rondellas (the circular bastions) needed almost no protective entrenchments; that the gates were well protected by the artillery, which could easily prevent the positioning enemy artillery before them; that the curtain wall of the castle was so strong that 12-pounder cannon could not damage it, so it was unnecessary to make earth revetments around it; that an enemy attack on the Chain Bridge could easily be stopped with gunfire; that there was no need for shell-proof shelters, because the Hungarians had no mortars; and that Svábhegy was too far from the castle to be dangerous, as opposed to the side of the Royal Palace, which is close to the Little Gellért Hill. 1932:

their ladders, but the defenders repelled the attack, causing 34 dead and the loss of 21 ladders. The house that was the 65th battalion's base was set on fire by the enemy artillery, so the Hungarian soldiers could not retreat into it but had to run across open ground under fire from the defenders. The 9th battalion had orders to fire on the defenders from the windows and roofs of the houses in Attila Street. The other battalions of III. corps gathered in the nearby houses and tried to climb the walls on ladders; but because the ladders were too short, this attack, too, was unsuccessful. The soldiers of the 9th battalion were so busy firing on the enemy that they did not hear their comrades retreat. So, they were trapped in the houses when dawn arrived, and could not retreat next day, because the defenders immediately fired on any who tried to come out of the houses. II. Corps attacked the Waterworks with the bayonet, but was repelled. Kmety's troops also attacked the Waterworks, reaching the Watergate, but there they were halted and forced to engage in a futile firefight with the enemy.

1096:). Mack wrote that the castle could be defended, saying that with the 50 cannon in the castle any enemy could easily be kept at a distance. He claimed that enemy artillery could only threaten the castle from Gellért Hill, and that with just six 24-pounder cannon he could prevent anyone from installing their batteries there. He also said that the cannon could prevent enemy rocket batteries from burning down the city. As for the forces necessary to hold the castle, Mack stated that 2,500 soldiers and 300 artillerymen would be enough. Mack also wrote that the cannon could prevent the enemy rocket batteries from burning down the city. For the forces necessary to hold the castle, Mack wrote that 2500 soldiers and 300 artillerymen would be enough. In the Autumn of 1848 the Hungarian patriotic militiamen formed an artillery corps, and received a battery of 6-pounder guns. In December, 9 cannon and 2 howitzers arrived, which, according to an inscription on one of them, were made in 1559. Some of these cannon would actually be used in the defense of the castle in May 1849. 1774:

was covered by a sea of flames, and the burning bombshells showered like a rain of stars, thundering grimly in the swirling smoke, onto the poor town. It is impossible to describe this sight accurately; but in this whole phenomenon I saw the burning of the torch lit for the funeral feast of the dying Austrian dynasty, because for those in this country who had the smallest consideration for this perfidious dynasty, yesterday's events obliterated it forever. This is why although I mourn the destruction of the capital city with all my heart, this outrageous act of the enemy, which I was powerless to prevent and which I did nothing to provoke, will make me try with all my power to avenge it by making even greater efforts to besiege the castle, and I feel it my most sacred duty to liberate the capital as soon as possible from this monstrous enemy.

1753: 1703: 1695: 2091:

led by General Károly Knezić, mounted an assault on the northern castle wall, the Vienna Gate, and the Esztergom Rondella, supported by the 9th Battalion firing from houses in Attila street, while III. Corps's reserves waited between the Városmajor and the brick factory. The attackers tried to scale the Vienna Gate and the neighboring stretch of wall, and 30 Hungarian soldiers fell in this fight. The men of the 42nd Battalion were the first to climb the walls and enter, while the 3rd Battalion broke into the castle at the Vienna Gate. Then, after the first troops had entered the castle, the 9th Battalion joined them, climbing the ladders near the Vienna Gate, and then manned the captured enemy guns near the 4th rondella, turning them against the retreating imperial soldiers.

2226: 2245:, as he thought that this political act by the Hungarian Parliament made any kind of compromise with the emperor and the imperial Government in Vienna impossible, and because he thought that as the threat of Russian intervention became more and more clear, the only hope for Hungary to save at least part of its autonomy and the achievements of the Hungarian revolution of 15 March 1848 was an agreement with the emperor. But when Bernáth and Kazinczy told him they shared his views and that there was a party in the Hungarian parliament called the Peace Party (Békepárt) which wanted to reach an agreement with Emperor Franz Joseph I., he renounced his planned coup, and declared that he hoped for a political, "constitutional" solution to the problem. 2191: 2238:, the liberation of the castle prompted rejoicing among the Hungarians, who convinced Prime Minister Bertalan Szemere to award Görgei the First Class Military Order of Merit and the rank of lieutenant general. But when he was visited by a Government delegation to invest him with the order and his promotion, Görgei refused. He said that he did not deserve these and did not approve of the greed of many soldiers and officers for rank and decorations, which was not compatible with Prime Minister Szemere's Republican political program, and that by refusing these distinctions he wanted to set an example for his subordinates. The leaders of the delegation, Senator Zsigmond Bernáth and Deputy Gábor Kazinczy saluted Görgei's decision. 1972:

defenders, who thought at 2 o'clock that there would be no more fighting until the morning, the Hungarian attack began. II. Corps, led by General Lajos Aulich, assaulted from the south; three battalions attacked the southern Palace Gardens (Palotakert), while two stormed the Waterworks, the other units of the corps remaining in reserve. The soldiers of II Corps soon penetrated the castle via the large garden at the west wall. Not having ladders, they climbed the walls on each other's shoulders. The attackers entered by ladders at the Ferdinand Gate and over the rubble of the destroyed wall on the east side facing the Danube. Here, the imperial soldiers were soon surrounded and laid down their weapons.

2249: 1907: 1800: 2277: 2288: 2023: 974:, beneath the walls, and that the hill was surrounded by houses and gardens except near the four castle gates, made the besiegers' job easier. The castle's defenses were of 16th century standard, because fortification modernization of later periods had almost no effect on this castle without exterior walls and defenses and consisting only of a "core fort". The most important defenses of the castle were its walls surrounding the edges of the Castle Hill. This wall was built in different periods and was repaired in various ways in the 163 years between the sieges of 1686 and 1849. Because of this, it was of different widths, without 2179:

treated him gently, but when Hentzi asked to shake hands, he refused, saying that he respected him as an excellent general but would not shake his hand because of the bombardment of Pest. Hentzi replied that his guns could have totally destroyed but did not, and that he only fired on those buildings which he had orders to do. As we showed above, Feldzeugmeister Ludwig von Welden's orders to Hentzi contained nothing about destroying Pest; he gave permission only to bombard the city on the eastern bank of the Danube in exceptional situations, if the civilians behaved towards the castle in an unacceptable manner, which they did not.

2119: 2107: 2134: 2076: 1936: 2318:, on 7 October 1848, in which 7,553 enemy soldiers were forced to capitulate to Görgei; but those troops were among the least fit in the Habsburg army, while those commanded by Hentzi were among its best. It was now clear that Austria alone would be unable to put down the Hungarian struggle for independence. It is telling that the very day Buda was captured, Francis Joseph I finalised an agreement by which Tsar Nicholas I of Russia would send 200,000 soldiers to crush the Hungarian Revolution. The Emperor marked his gratitude for this friendly assistance by kissing the hand of the Tsar. 743: 1947:

nor did units receive clear instructions about when to turn the demonstration into a real attack. In his memoirs Görgei acknowledges that the failure is mainly his fault, because he did not check beforehand whether the breach was large enough to be passable. He wrote that he ordered the attack rashly because he was angry at Hentzi's bombardment of Pest, and wanted to punish him by taking the castle as quickly as possible. The Hungarians lost around 200 men in this abortive attack. After the attack Görgei asked for more ladders, which arrived from Pest a day later, on 19 May.

862: 1795:. Many of those that were poorly targeted explode in the air, and the flames pour out of their ripped orbs like squeezed lightning, followed every time by a horrible crack, their fragments whirr with different noises, dispersing in every direction, smashing and crushing whatever stands in their way. What kind of roaring and growling causes the constant howling of the cannon, the bursting shells and bombs of the enemy, and the unceasing salvoes from our guns from every direction? You can imagine they are a bit like the thunder heard sometimes in great thunderstorms. 4572: 1951:(98 ft) wide, becoming unfillable. That night, another attempt was made to block the gap, but heavy artillery fire and musketry from the Hungarian side prevented the imperial engineers from doing an effective job. A sapper unit of the Hungarian II. Corps managed to break into the Várkert (Castle Garden, next to the southern tip of the Castle walls and the Waterworks) through a house which had a wall in common with the garden, and a Hungarian Honvéd company sneaked in. Despite all the efforts of the defenders, it could not be forced to retreat. 2115:

stomach, the bullet leaving his body through the back of his chest. Along with Hentzi, Captain Gorini commanding the Wilhelm companies and Captain Schröder were also mortally wounded. The castle commander being disabled effectively meant the castle had fallen to the Hungarian army. The rest of the defenders in Szent György Square, under Lieutenant Kristin, surrendered. However, Hentzi did not die; after being wounded, he was carried to the hospital on Iskola (School) Square, and laid on a bed in the office of chief medical officer Moritz Bartl.

2056:

Lieutenant-Colonel Peter Driquet; the "Don Miguel" infantry, supported by the fire of their comrades from the 34th and 17th Battalions, who climbed the wall east of the rondella; and by the 4th Battalion, who fired down from behind them and drove the defenders deeper and deeper into the streets of Buda castle. The Hungarians who entered the castle faced enemy infantry and artillery units at strategic points, who fired volleys and grapeshot at them; but they continued the assault, overwhelming, killing, or capturing the imperial soldiers.

2130:

Seeing Szekulics's brigade on the Pest side, and thinking that they were preparing to cross the Chain Bridge towards Buda, he tried to blow up the Chain Bridge by throwing his cigar on the fuse leading to the 4 chests of explosives put there before the siege. However, he succeeded only in blowing himself up, while the bridge suffered only minor damage. In fact, Szekulics had no order or intention to cross the bridge. Alnoch had tried to demolish the Chain Bridge in spite of Görgei's express request to spare "this majestic masterpiece".

2036:

not leave them to fall into the hands of the enemy. Then Máriássy regained consciousness, rallied his men and led them, with support by the 6th Battalion, against the enemy who were already starting to topple the ladders. When the Hungarians started to climb the ladders, the enemy soldiers (who were of Italian origin) decided to surrender, and reached out their hands in order to help the Hungarians climb up. The Hungarian losses in the assault were heavy: among many others was Major Burdina, the commander of the Don Miguel regiment.

2087:. During the attack, the soldiers raising the ladders were wounded by the defenders' fire; but when their comrades started to climb, the shots from above became fewer and fewer as the defenders abandoned the walls, seeing the Hungarians pouring into the castle through the main breach, and retreated into the streets of Buda. Because they entered the castle after the main body had got in through the breach, the 63rd did not encounter serious resistance when they advanced towards Saint George Square (Szent György Tér). 1764:

if he did not accept this they would leave the castle. Hentzi replied that they could leave the castle if they wished, but threatened that he would bombard Pest with explosive and incendiary projectiles if the Hungarian army did not stop the siege. The next day around 300 citizens left the castle of Buda. Unfortunately, Hentzi kept his promise and firing went on nearly every day from 4 May onwards, and became particularly intense on 9 and 13 May, resulting in the burning and destruction of the beautiful

castle, then a Hungarian officer who had a very loud voice used a large tin megaphone to tell the artillery officers on Kis-Svábhegy Hill where to fire their cannon. Although they did not manage to kill the Austrian commander, they came close many times, forcing Hentzi and his officers to run down from the walls. After that Hentzi rarely showed himself on the castle's defensive walls and bastions; and when he did so, he did not stand still for long, finishing his inspections very quickly.

he would show no mercy and would have all prisoners executed after capturing the castle. Additionally, Görgei appealed to Hentzi's supposed Magyar sympathies (Hentzi having been born in Debrecen), but Hentzi replied that his loyalty was to the emperor. In the same reply, Hentzi also argued that the castle could be defended, and threatened Görgei, demanding that Görgei not attack the castle with artillery from any direction, or else Hentzi would destroy the city of Pest with a bombardment.

827: 2183: 2040: 1639:

the Hungarian field artillery was too weak against the imperial cannon. Another problem was that the Hungarian artillery did not have enough ammunition. On 6 May, General József Nagysándor wrote in his report that the ammunition had run out, and he was forced to cease bombarding the castle. He also wrote that if he did not receive the rockets and shells he requested, he would not be able to attack the aqueduct. In reality these weapons were already in Pest, having been sent via

For example, a letter from Prince Felix of Schwarzenberg, Minister-President of the Austrian Empire, shows that the people of Vienna were again in revolutionary mood. When Field Marshal Alfred I, Prince of Windisch-Grätz, the former high commander of the imperial forces in Hungary returned to

this, he replied that he knew that if he recovered, Görgei would hang him, remembering that in his letter demanding the surrender of the castle the Hungarian general had threatened to do so if Hentzi bombarded Pest or blew up the Chain Bridge. Görgei indeed had not forgotten his promise of 4 May, and declared to Lieutenant-Colonel Bódog Bátori Sulcz that he would hang Hentzi the next day if he recovered, saying that the Austrian general did not deserve to be called a hero.

2273:, would open diplomatic relations with Hungary. Thus, the Hungarian politicians believed that the conquest of Buda would prevent Russia from intervening in the conflict between Hungary and the Austrian Empire, because the European powers would accept Hungary as an independent state. Later events showed that these hopes were groundless, and the European nations looked away when 200,000 Russian soldiers crossed the Hungarian border in June to crush Hungarian independence. 4400: 206: 137: 1573:, it was now commanded by General József Nagysándor, who took his excellent predecessor's place, because of an accident to the latter which rendered him unable to serve. This departure was in accordance with the orders issued the same day by the High Command of the Hungarian army, requiring all the designated troops to be on the march. Over the next few days, of the Hungarian forces stationed at Komárom, III. Corps also marched to Buda, while VII. Corps moved west to 1779: 1589:

siege, and that it could easily be occupied with a surprise attack if they arrived there quickly. So, the Hungarian army corps hurried to Buda, not wanting to be slowed down by the heavy artillery. This mistake by Görgei would prolong the siege for many days, losing time that could have been used for preparations for the offensive on the western front, because Hentzi timely strengthening of the castle made it impossible to take it without heavy siege artillery.

2210:. Hentzi died at 1 o'clock in the morning on 22 May. His and Colonel Alnoch's bodies were put in two unpainted coffins and sent to the graveyard escorted by a squad of Huszárs to protect the bodies from the people's anger. In 1852, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria ordered a monument dedicated to Heinrich Hentzi, which Hungarians objected to because of the senseless damage Hentzi had caused to the capital cities; and in October 1918 it was finally dismantled. 854: 1976: 2018:

here legs, hands, fragments of skull lying on the ground, dead men's intestines hanging down, blood and marrow dripping down from many of the ladders around the walls, many of them were struck dead by pieces of blown-up ladders, others by grenades with burning fuzes dropped or thrown down and then bouncing from the walls onto the crowd below, and others by pieces of stone and bricks smashed off the walls by cannonballs.

1987: 1687:, because of the great firepower of the imperial artillery and infantry, but only by breaching the walls of the castle with heavy siege artillery. This failure also made clear to Görgei that the conquest of the castle would not be an easy task, but would necessitate a long siege, conducted with heavy siege weapons, which the besieging troops presently lacked (they only had light field artillery). So he wrote to 2214: 772:

This indicates that the arguments of those historians who wrote that Görgei made a mistake by not continuing the attack towards Vienna, because he had a great chance to take the Austrian capital and win the war before the Russian intervention, are wrong, and at that moment (before the arrival of the Hungarian reinforcements from the south) the only place which could gain a victory was the Castle of Buda.

They were indeed soon to be necessary, because Welden was preparing for another attack when he heard of the fall of Buda, whereupon he abandoned his plans. In terms of the number of the prisoners and spoils, this victory was surpassed only by the

1006:, it can be said that it was centuries behind these; and because of this the intention to defend it came as a surprise to many. But the imperials understood the importance of holding the Castle of Buda as long as they could, both for political and symbolic reasons as well because of having accumulated a large store of military equipment there; and they did not want to give all of these up so easily. 1010: 52: 2052:(Long live Hungary!). After they entered the castle, the advancing Hungarians found around 30 imperial soldiers shot dead in a courtyard. One who was still alive told them that they had been shot by the Croatian soldiers. This probably happened because the imperial command or the Croatian soldiers themselves noticed that the Italians were reluctant to fight against the Hungarians. 2068: 2305:

On 1 May, Schwarzenberg wrote that the first 85,000 Russian troops had already entered the Austrian province of

So the council of war held on 29 April 1849 decided to besiege and take Buda Castle, and then, after the arrival of reinforcements from southern Hungary, move to attack Vienna in order to force the empire to sue for peace and recognize the independence of Hungary.

night, he proposed continuing to bombard Pest; but engineering captain Philipp Pollini objected, arguing that it would be better to fire on the Hungarian artillery, in order to try to destroy it. The council accepted Pollini's plan. So, at 18:30 all the cannon which had been withdrawn earlier to protect them were sent back to the walls to duel with the Hungarian cannon.

1838: 2064:. Then, he sent some of his troops onto the wall above the Waterworks to help Kmety's assault by firing on the enemy from the rear, and others to the armory south of Saint George Square to fire on the imperials who were in the Palatine Gardens defending the southern wall against II. Corps's attack. Szalkay then occupied the Palatine (Royal) Palace with the rest. 1711: 1119: 2095:

The battery closest to the castle was the one on Naphegy, 600–700 metres (2,000–2,300 ft) away. Altogether 5 batteries of artillery were deployed on the hills near the castle (25 cannon and howitzers and 4 rocket stands).

During the wait for the siege artillery, Görgei ordered feinting night attacks against the castle, to keep the enemy busy and to divert Hentzi's attention from his true intent.
