Pazmanitengasse is a street in Vienna Leopoldstadt district.
It was named in 1867 after (the students of) the Pázmáneum, the Hungarian Catholic seminary, later university, founded in 1619 by Cardinal Péter Pázmány, an important figure in the Counter-Reformation and the father of modern Hungarian language.[citation needed]
