Hungarian Description:

A ​repülés maga a szabadság, hisz ilyenkor átmenetileg elhagyjuk a mindennapok valóságát. Ahogy a repülési magasságba érünk: a csoda alattunk, köröttünk és fölöttünk. A magasból nézve eltűnnek a gondok, és rendezetté válik körülöttünk minden. A fények és az árnyak kirajzolják, megmutatják a város megannyi hajlatát, szépségét, az utcák és az épületek megannyi vetületét.

Debrecen is Hungary's second largest city after Budapest. It is the regional center of the Northern Great Plain region and the seat of Hajdú-Bihar county. It was the largest Hungarian city in the 18th century^[4] and it is one of the Hungarian people's most important cultural centres. Debrecen was also the capital city of Hungary during the revolution in 1848–1849. During the revolution, the dethronement of the Habsburg dynasty was declared in the Reformed Great Church. The city also served as the capital of Hungary by the end of the World War II in 1944–1945.

The city is first documented in 1235, as Debrezun. The name derives from the Turkic word debresin, which means 'live' or 'move' and is also a male given name. Another theory says the name is of Slavic origin and means 'well-esteemed' (e.g. Polish: dobrze cenione). In other languages, the name of the city varies more in spelling than in pronunciation: Romanian Debrețin, German Debrezin, Serbian Debrecin, Yiddish דעברעצין, Czech and Slovak Debrecín.
