The largest deposits of coal are located in the basins of the foothills of the Ore Mountains, at Sokolov, Chomutov, Most and Teplice. These areas were developed exclusively on the basis of coal mining at the expense of other economic activities, the natural environment, the existing built environment, social structures and public health. Everything had to make way for coal mining as coal was considered the “life blood of industry”. Mining executives, mining projection auxiliary operations, and especially Communist party functionaries were rewarded for ever increasing the quantities of coal mined and the excavation and relocation of as much overburden as possible. When I began in 1979 as an officer of government of the regional Regional National Committee (KNV) for North Bohemia in Ústí nad Labem, the craze for coal was in full swing, as villages, one after another, were swallowed up.

  • LOBKOWICZ PALACE at Prague Castle LOBKOWICZ PALACE at PRAGUE CASTLE
    LOBKOWICZ LOBKOWICZ EVENTS MANAGEMENT LOBKOWICZ PALACE at Prague Castle LOBKOWICZ PALACE AT PRAGUE CASTLE Hold your next event at historic Lobkowicz Palace, where luxurious spaces, museum collections of worldwide significance and stunning views across the city of Prague combine to create a memorable experience in a rich and distinctive setting. HISTORY OF LOBKOWICZ PALACE Lobkowicz Palace was built in the second half of the 16th century by Czech nobleman Jaroslav of Pernštejn (1528-1569). Originally known as the Pernštejn Palace, it acquired its present name when Jaroslav’s niece, Polyxena (1566-1642), married the 1st Prince Lobkowicz, Zdeněk Vojtěch (1568-1628), in 1603. In the centuries following that marriage, the Palace witnessed some of Bohemia's most significant historical events. At the start of World War II, the Palace was confiscated from the Lobkowicz family by the Nazi forces invading Czechoslovakia. Returned in 1945, it was seized again following the communist takeover of the country in 1948. After the Velvet Revolution of 1989 and the subsequent fall of the communist government, the passage of restitution laws made it possible in 2002 for the Palace to be returned to the Lobkowiczes once again. On 2 April 2007, following more than four years of planning, restoration and refurbishment, the Palace was opened to the public for the first time. Today, it houses the Lobkowicz Palace Museum and serves as a unique venue for private and corporate events.
