Prague to Commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Berlin Wall’s Fall

People attacked it, climbed over, demolished with all their power. Finally, they could breathe; they were free. The fall of the Berlin Wall tore off an avalanche of events that led to the fall of communism in the Eastern Bloc. The 30th anniversary of the reunification of Berlin will be commemorated in Prague’s Holešovice. “We decided to organize a cultural event dedicated to the fall of the Berlin Wall because we feel that in the context of commemorating the 30th anniversary this event reminds all of the fall of the Iron Curtain in Prague. As we have a personal relationship with East Germany, our event takes place in Holešovice, near the Little Berlin district. We also want to conceive this day as an unofficial opening of our new Kabelovna room and commemorate this anniversary every year,” said Lukáš Rychtařík from Championship Music. Visitors can look forward to a busy schedule on Saturday, 9th of November, from 1 pm to 10 pm, with the Minister of Culture, Daniel Herman. During the event, the artistic installation of the Iron Curtain, designed by Vítek Škop, will be unveiled. At the same time, an exhibition of three large-format period photographs will be revealed –...

Prague As a Local: Břevnov Monastery

Břevnov is one of the traditional districts of Prague in which you can find the beautiful and oldest male Monastery in the Czech Republic. Located in Prague 6, precisely in Markétská 1/28, the closest public transport stop is the Břevnovský klášter tram stop. Situated between the White Mountain (Bílá Hora) and Prague Castle, the Břevnov Monastery is still active, and Benedictine monks are living in it. Founded by Prince Boleslav II and the second Archbishop of Prague St Adalbert, the present appearance of the Benedictine complex represents a masterpiece of the Baroque. The Monastery runs a hotel and a traditional Czech restaurant with an open fireplace. The restaurant Klášterní šenk, located in the grounds of the Monastery, has a beautiful beer garden opened in the summer that offers most of the beers produced there. Therefore, Břevnov Monastery is also associated with a brewery whose production can still be tasted today, Břevnovský Benedict beer. The entrance to the complex, including the garden, is free. The extensive garden adjoining the Monastery is where the abbot’s summer house named Vojtěška is located.

Rohan Island: The New Karlín?

Rohan Island is located along the right bank of the Vltava River, adjacent to Karlín and Libeň and across the river from Holešovice. This former harbour and warehouse area is currently a somewhat forgotten part of Prague. Rohan Island spreads across 44 hectares—for comparison, this is the equivalent of ten Wenceslas Squares. More than half of this area is earmarked for new construction. In accordance with the current land use plan, 1,750 new apartments will be built to accommodate roughly four thousand people. The transformation of the area will not happen overnight, but it will take place gradually in several phases. The first phase will begin next year, while the construction of the new park and the majority of residential construction will take place between 2030 and 2040. “There is a large recreation area and there is in direct contact with the river, we also want to support the activities on the waterfront by building a new promenade in the place of the current cycle path,” Leoš Anderle, executive director of Sekyra Group, said. In agreement with the city, the investor incorporated comments to make houses fit in better with the neighboring Karlín buildings. The project should also include pedestrian...

All Prague Trams Škoda 15T ForCity to Get Air Conditioning

Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) will install air conditioning to all the trams Škoda 15T ForCity. The air conditioning in the Škoda 15T ForCity will work in an almost automatic mode due to the manufacturer’s settings. The driver can only increase or decrease the passenger compartment temperature. Tram windows can be opened, but this will affect efficiency. The total cost will exceed 400 million crowns. In 2011, during the administration of then-mayor Tomáš Hudeček (TOP 09), the DPP started negotiations regarding the installation of air conditioning in the passenger compartment. The tram, which is 31.4 m long and almost 2.5 m wide, has the capacity of 180 passengers – of which 61 are seated. Thanks to its ability to ride in arcs smoothly, the tram cuts travel time and speeds up traffic. This is also helped by six wide double-leaf doors which enable passengers to get on and off very quickly. They are also 100% low-floor, offering problem-free transport for passengers with reduced mobility. This is in line with Prague’s strategic priority to ensure barrier-free access throughout the city’s public transport network by 2025. At the moment, DPP is gradually launching the EMA system, which shall automatically, without the driver’s intervention, control selected functions of the vehicle, such as e.g. stops announcements, wheel and rail lubrication, reduction of speed to the prescribed value when...

Lázně na Lodi A sauna on a boat with a view of the river and the Prague castle. Seriously, can it get any better?

Biotop Radotin Radotin is quite far from the city center and not really interesting from a traveler’s point of view, however, it is on the way to Karlštejn, which is definitely worth a day trip.

101 Years Ago, the Marian Column Was Torn Down

The demolition of the Marian Column was one of the most iconic events of the newly proclaimed republic. The monument was seen as a symbol of the Habsburg Monarchy, and it paid the price. The column has opponents even today. “Her head was violently severed from her body,” said Zizkov anarchist Franta Sauer, describing the demolition of the Marian column and the decapitation of the Virgin Mary. Sauer played a key role in the demolition of the column, which was surrounded by a large crowd on the first Sunday of the new era of the Republic. The crowd of people marched into the centre of Prague from Bila Hora 101 years ago. It was a heated anti-clerical reminder of the fateful battle in November 1620. Sauer was assisted by the Zizkov firefighters, whom he had met in a pub in Zizkov. They supplied not only the manpower, but also the necessary ropes, chisels, and hammers. There was a fight between the enthusiastic revolutionaries and the group of people who wanted to defend the baroque monument. The guardians of the column did not succeed, however. “Just take it down!” shouted socio-democratic politician Josef Stivín. The revolutionaries wanted the fragments of the...

Germany’s ambassador Christoph Israng posted a photo of a Hitler-like rubber mask displayed in Prague at a souvenir shop, asking why such “trash” is out on the streets. “The Czechs suffered so much under the Nazi regime. Why is such trash sold in the center of Prague now?” Ambassador Christoph Israng tweeted on Friday, without naming the shop. ??Češi za nacistického režimu tolik trpěli. Proč se teď v centru Prahy prodává takový odpad???Die Tschechen haben so unter den Nationalsozialisten gelitten.

Czech Senate Approved the Construction of Driverless Metro

On Thursday, October 31, the Czech Senate approved the amendments to the law on railway transport, which allow the use of trains without drivers. The construction of a new fourth metro line in Prague, which will be marked by “D” letter and blue color, will begin by the section from Pankrác to the Olbrachtova station and it should cost 39.7 billion crowns. The first section will also test the operation in automatic mode – without drivers, which will speed up the putting line D to operation. Construction will be preceded by an archaeological survey that is set to begin this summer and is expected to take about a year. Construction works on the line will be launched at Pankrác station, outside the Arkády shopping mall. This is where the tunnel boring machines will be brought under the ground. Construction of the Metro’s D route was originally supposed to start in 2010, but it was postponed due to various reasons, including problems with acquiring all of the lands. The completion of the metro D construction will also mean a significant improvement in the environment. The amount of pollutants is expected to decrease by almost 60 tons per year. At the same time, the number of cars heading to the center will fall by more than 18 million a year. Metro D...
