The hometown only erected a monument to his eldest son a hundred years after his death. In 1896, the inauguration of the Kármán monuments took place as a highlight of the millennium celebrations. The Kármán cult that still exists today can also be dated from this. The memorial column was inaugurated in a small grove opposite the entrance to the M. Kir. State High School. At the same time, the birthplace on Nagybég Street, which is located nearby, was also marked with a dark granite memorial plaque. The grave was marked on June 3, 1897, the anniversary of Kármán's death, with a tombstone made of "light Tyrolean marble".
