László Papp, Hungary’s Oldest Man, Turns 107

László (Laci) Papp, the oldest living man in Hungary, celebrated his 107th birthday in Szarvas, Békés County, on 30 May, according to Newjság.

László Papp was born on 30 May 1919 in a railway wagon near Mezőberény, in Békés County. He was born while his family was fleeing Partium, a region occupied by Romanian forces in the turbulent period preceding the Treaty of Trianon.

Although he was expelled from the Reformed High School in Nagykőrös through no fault of his own, László was fortunately admitted to the school in Szarvas. During his student years, he attended prayer meetings every afternoon and, after studying in the evenings, regularly went to the gym to train.

In 1938, he met his future wife, Margit. The two young people fell in love at first sight at a dance. László was nineteen and Margit sixteen. They met again at several social gatherings and dances, but because Margit already had a suitor, their brief romance came to an end. László later attended college, qualified as an engineer, and started a family. Over the years, he was married twice and widowed twice. Margit also married and raised a family of her own. For nearly sixty years, they had no contact and did not see one another again until an alumni reunion in 1996. Their reunion rekindled the affection they had felt as teenagers. From the moment they met again, they became inseparable, and just one month later, they were married.

Following the passing of 106-year-old Mátyás Illéssy (8 November 1918 – 10 May 2025), he became the oldest known living man in Hungary. At the moment, he is the country’s third-oldest living resident, after Leventéné Csap (b. 14 April 1917) and Ilona Nagy (b. 27 November 1918).

Happy 107th Birthday!

@ale76 A very happy 107th birthday to Mr. Papp!

Her only ever appearance in the media was on the occasion of her 100th birthday.

P. S. his third wife Margit (who has been living separately since 2023) is still alive at the age of 103 (b. 27 April 1923).

Margit sadly passed away on 5 June 2026, at the age of 103 years.

I discovered a likely former OLM.

János Pusnik was born on 31 August 1915 in Gadány, and died on 10 June 2021, in Kaposvár, Somogy County, at the age of 105 years, 283 days.

According to my current knowledge, he became the oldest living man in Hungary upon Jenő Homonnay's death on 23 November 2020. He is also the oldest known man ever to live in Somogy County, having surpassed Nándor Óriás (1886-1992).

He never appeared in the media.

May he rest in peace.

It turns out this man might have been the OLM for just three days. I discovered a previously unknown 106-year-old man: Lajos József Kovács was born on 18 March 1915 in Püspöknádasd (today Mecseknádasd, Baranya), and died on 7 June 2021, in Kistarcsa, Pest County, at the age of 106 years, 81 days.

One of the oldest living people in Hungary, Józsefné Szabó (née Irén Papp) – of Karcag, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County – celebrated her 107th birthday today. She was born on 13 August 1919, in Püspökladány.
