Ede Magyar (Orosháza
, January 31, 1877 – Szeged

The son of Mihaly Oszadszki, a cabinet maker, Magyar was three years old when the family changed its name. He became a master builder after studying in Budapest
in 1901, and completed further studies abroad. His short but notable career focused on Szeged
where he designed the Reok Palace (1907) and numerous other organic buildings. He was only 35 when he committed suicide following disappointment in love. He was buried in Dugonics cemetery where there is a permanent memorial to him tended by the city council since 2004.
