100 Year-Old Meteorological Column Restored on Vítězné náměstí

A hundred-year-old weather column, on the corner of Buzulucká Street and Vítězné náměstí in Dejvice, has been restored. It is one of the few surviving columns in Prague. There were over fifty of them all over the Czech Republic. Another one is located on the pavement next to the Masaryk Railway Station. One has also been in the Hadovka Dejvice park for several years, and after an agreement with the authorities it was installed there a few years ago by architect Jan Trejbal. Before that, he bought it for 1200 CZK, where the technical monument originally stood. Meteorological columns have been produced since the second half of the 19th century, and at the beginning of the 20th century the setting in villages, larger villages, and towns became the fashion. The columns were used for weather forecasting plus showing time. After World War II, the advent of more modern technologies halted the development of these weather stations. Eventually, most of them gradually deteriorated and in many places had them removed completely. A 1914 technical monument remains on the outskirts of Kulaťák, but in a dysfunctional state. Some time ago, the Czech National Trust (CNT)—a non-profit organization—decided to save this meteorological column...

Police Arrested a Total of 18 England Fans in Prague

Police arrested a total of 18 England fans over football-related disorder in Prague. The men, among thousands of supporters who traveled to the city for Friday night’s Euro 2020 qualifier against the Czech Republic, have all been released. The English supporters hurled bottles at just before 7 pm before kick-off, while local police in full riot gear returned fire with stun grenades during violent clashes near the Old Town Square. A group of Czechs were also held after they attacked a bar in a separate incident. Czech police said a total of 31 arrests had been made on Friday night. Until night fell, there had been little trouble, with police involvement limited to telling fans to remove flags from buildings. But ugly scenes erupted just before 7 pm after hundreds of fans took over a small square (behind the Tyn Church), chanting and singing. England manager Gareth Southgate, who had made a point of reminding fans to conduct themselves properly in the historic city earlier this week, described the trouble as ‘disappointing’ following the 2-1 defeat. The latest trouble involving England fans abroad follows similar scenes from recent trips to Amsterdam, Dortmund and Porto. A Czech police officer said: ‘The England fans were...
