The site in Mátyásföld bounded by Hunyadvár, Bökényföldi, Újszász and Diósy Lajos streets was used from 1952 by the Hungarian army and from 1956 by the Soviet Army: the command of the Southern Group of Forces was located here, with a house of culture, a restaurant and officers' housing. Nearby, Soviet units also used the Mátyásföld airfield in 1956–1991. After the withdrawal of 1990–1991 the housing blocks were renovated and the rest of the site remained in municipal ownership.
Участок в Матьяшфёльде между улицами Хуньядвар, Бёкеньфёльди, Уйсас и Диоши Лайоша с 1952 года использовала Венгерская армия, а с 1956 года — Советская армия: здесь находилось командование Южной группы войск с домом культуры, рестораном и жильём офицеров. Рядом советские части в 1956–1991 годах пользовались и Матьяшфёльдским аэродромом. После вывода войск в 1990–1991 годах жилые дома были обновлены, а остальная часть территории осталась в муниципальной собственности.
