Soil liquefaction have been observed and documented at least eight times during moderate to larger magnitude historical and recent earthquakes in Hungary. Surface manifestations of liquefaction were reported from Komarom (1763, 1783, 1822), Mor (1810), Ermellek (1829, 1834), Kecskemet (1911) and Dunaharaszti (1956) earthquakes. In the study, we give a brief description of these earthquakes and make available reports that demonstrate the occurrence of soil liquefaction. Where available, we describe local subsoil conditions and information regarding ground water level. Distribution of horizontal ground accelerations possibly caused by these historical earthquakes has been modelled by ShakeMap program. Simulations indicate horizontal PGA of 0.2-0.3 g in areas where liquefaction occurred.
