Diszel (Tapolica Diszel [ˈtɒpoltsɒ ˈdisɛl]) is an outer suburb of Tapolca in Veszprém county, Hungary. Situated in the Tapolca Basin, Diszel is rich in spectacular geological heritage and historical monuments. Diszel is considered as one of the most beautiful areas of the country.
The history of Diszel dates back as early as the Roman Times. The area was part of Pannonia province of the Roman Empire. By popular etymology, the name Diszel derived from the Hungarian expression “Díszhely” [ˈdiːshɛj] (fancy place), referring to its beauty. The name was first mentioned in 1247.
Although the settlement has been home for agriculturers and farmers for hundreds of years, it is important from the cultural point of view as well. Several artists live in and around Diszel. Even celebrities find retreat in these hills and spend several months here each year.
Poet and literary historian István Péter Németh from Tapolca wrote several poems and articles on Diszel and its surroundings, including “Diszel 1848”, “Drawing-board is my professorate”, “Greeting from Csobánc”, and “The Requiem of Csobánc”.
Once a village, Diszel lost its municipal independence in 1977, when it became a suburb of Tapolca. Since then, it has been referred to as Tapolca-Diszel for years, which is now often written as Tapolca (Diszel).
