Dunajská Streda (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈdunajskaː ˈstreda] ⓘ; Hungarian: Dunaszerdahely; German: Niedermarkt) is a town located in southern Slovakia (Trnavský kraj).

According to archeological evidence the territory was inhabited in the Neolithic, Bronze, Roman and Great Moravian period.

During the Middle and Modern Ages the settlement was a small market town located in the southern part of Pozsony county.

In the 1990s the centre of the town was totally rebuilt and revitalised according to the plans of Imre Makovecz, a Hungarian architect of the "organic" school.

The 19th century seal of the market town depicted St Peter with the inscription "Sigillum Oppidi Szerdahely".

In 1910 the town applied to the State Municipality Registration Committee for a new seal without any picture (inscription: "Pozsony vármegye Dunaszerdahely község 1910").

Within 48 hours all the Jews in town had to leave their houses and move into the ghetto that was run by officers of the Hungarian army.

Immediately upon leaving their houses army personnel and town residents broke into them and looted the possessions that were left behind.

The first stage was assembling all the Jews in the synagogue building and courtyard, and several days later the actual deportation began.

[8] flags with Árpád stripes, were being waved and the home crowd sang the Hungarian national anthem before kickoff.

[8] Press reports from the scene said that the police failed to act against Bratislava supporters who were throwing smoke bombs, noise grenades and other missiles on the pitch.

[8] Based on videos posted on the internet showing the incident from various angles the supporters were not doing anything that would warrant such an intervention by police.
