A 19th Century view of the River Danube as it passes Pressburg (Now Bratislava), Slovakia. Industry developed rapidly in the 19th century with a new line to Vienna using steam locomotives was opened in 1848, and a line to Pest in 1850. Many new industrial, financial and other institutions were founded; for example, the first bank in present-day Slovakia was founded in 1842. The city's first permanent bridge over the Danube, Starý most, was built in 1891.
