The bombings of World War II caused as much damage as the great fires of the past, and in 1944 the smaller arch of the valley bridge was also damaged. Thanks to the engineer Aladár Márföldy from Veszprém, the larger arch of the then seven-year-old viaduct was saved. According to the plans, Veszprém had to become an industrial and scientific center. This is why the Veszprém University of Chemical Industry was established in 1949 together with several research institutes. The work of the institutes was related to the training of local chemical engineers, but also to the large chemical companies in the area. This planned - and we can already say that it was forced - development was accompanied by a sudden increase in the population of the city, the housing estates and the house factory came.

The third aspiration: Veszprém should be a cultural center! This was the goal that the people of Veszprém, who respect tradition, could feel the most. For decades, the city has had its own independent theater company, a museum known throughout Europe, famous schools, cultural institutions, and a musical life that has already attracted visitors from all five parts of the world to the International Singing Week or the European Cantat Festival. Exhibition halls and galleries are open, and guests welcomed in Veszprém are representatives of various branches of art.

The period from 1945 to the present day is, in fact, recent, from which we have been able to learn several chapters since the change of regime. We can say, for example, that among the famous bishops of Veszprém was József Mindszenty, the prince-prince of martyrdom, who held the office of archbishop in Veszprém in 1944-45. The Bishop of Veszprém also became Cardinal László Lékai and then László Paskai.
