The story about Egység dates back to 1890, when the famous architect György Molnar designed it on the occasion of the 100th birthday of the Shooting Association. After that, an excited and unexpected life of this place began.
The Shooting Association, one of the first associations of citizens, was formed in Egység. The first craft-industrial exhibition, today known as Novi Sad fair, was held there.
Many citizens learned their first dancing steps here, some of them enjoyed basketball games, and all of them created memorable stories together.
After the World War II, Egység was abandoned and neglected so much it continued to deteriorate in the years to come, being almost demolished by the end of the 20th century. It displayed its glory again in 2012, when it was fully renovated.
When Novi Sad won the European Capital of Culture title, the city assigned the management of Egység to the ‘Novi Sad 2022 – European Capital of Culture’ Foundation, thus this place became the first cultural station of Novi Sad.
Priča o Eđšegu počinje davne 1890. godine, kada je čuveni arhitekta, Đerđ Molnar, projektovao ovo zdanje u čast 100 godina postojanja Streljačkog društva. Nakon toga sledi život krcat uzbudljivim događajima i neočekivanim prevratima.
U Eđšegu je osnovana „Streljačka družina” koja je predstavljala jedno od prvih udruženja građana. U njemu je održana i prva zanatsko-industrijska izložba, preteča današnjeg Novosadskog sajma.
Mnogi Novosađani su svojim prvim plesnim koracima ovladali upravo ovde, neki su na njegovim terenima uživali u košarkaškim utakmicama, a svi zajedno u njemu su kreirali komšijske priče koje se pamte.
Posle Drugog svetskog rata, Eđšeg je prepušten zaboravu, te je zanemaren toliko da je krajem 20. veka bio gotovo razrušen. Ponovo je zablistao 2012. godine, kada je potpuno renoviran.
Nakon dobijanja titule Evropske prestonice kulture, Novi Sad je upravljanje Eđšegom dodelio Fondaciji „Novi Sad 2022 – Evropska prestonica kulture”, pa je tako ovaj prostor postao prva kulturna stanica grada Novog Sada.
