PROPOSAL FOR Ms. Helena Novakova US trip, 40 pax May, 2018 PRAGUE/Czech Republic About destination PRAGUE – THE GOLDEN CITY About destination PRAGUE – THE GOLDEN CITY About destination PRAGUE – THE GOLDEN CITY ‘Prague – the golden city.’ There can hardly be another town in the whole of central Europe that has been so often and so variously praised by the figures from all spheres of the arts. Rainer Maria Rilke described his birthplace, as “a vast and rich of epic of architecture”, and Goethe labeled it “the most beautiful jewel in the Bohemian crown”. The 19th-century Czech writer and journalist Jan Neruda, whose characteristically humorous literary depictions of Prague are still popular with readers today, claimed that “there is no other town to rival Prague in beauty”. The city of 100 spires, “Golden Prague” a jewel in the heart of the new Europe. Culture, tradition and a lively atmosphere present themselves in beautifully restored cultural monuments and former aristocratic palaces. The awe-inspiring panorama of the castle and St. Vitus Cathedral capture the heart of every visitor, a walk across Charles Bridge is a must… About destination CZECH REPUBLIC – BASIC FACTS Official title Czech Republic (Česká republika) Area 78,864 square kilometres Neighbouring countries Germany, Poland, Austria and Slovakia Population 10,300,000 inhabitants Capital Prague (1.2 million inhabitants) Other major cities Brno (388,596), Ostrava (325,827), Pilsen (171,908), Olomouc (106,278) Administrative language Czech Religion Predominantly Roman Catholic (39.2 %), Protestant (4.6%), Orthodox (3%), Atheist (39.8%) Political system Parliamentary democracy Currency Czech crown - CZK (Kč), 1 Kč = 100 h (haléřů) coins: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 Kč banknotes: 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 Kč About destination CZECH REPUBLIC – BASIC FACTS Time zone Central European Time (CET), from April to October - summer time (GMT + 1, GMT + 2) Climate temperate, four seasons, a mix of ocean and inland climate, changeable winters, warm summers.

The city walk views Old Town Square providing a dazzling Panorama. Stand in the middle and turn in a slow circle: it's as if all the most charming city streets of Europe were stretched around you. Every building is different in every detail - roof, windows, doors and colors. The Old Town Hall, begun in the 14th century, has developed in slow bounds, to match the municipality's growth in size and importance. Neighboring houses were incorporated and modifications continued to be made until the 19th century. The most obvious highlight of the Old Town Hall is its 15th century Astronomical Clock. Every hour on the hour, clockwork figures on the tower's facade enact a timely story. After a look around Old Town Square, the city walk continues to the Estates Theatre, the theatre where Mozart's "Don Giovanni" was performed the first time. It was Mozart who said: "My Prager's understand me".

    Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, Briefly Entitled As the „Blue Report“

    By December 2007 Ministry of Agriculture of the Czech Republic Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic Draft introduction Dear readers, you have in your hands the eleventh edition of the „Report on the State of Water Management in the Czech Republic in 2007“, briefly entitled as the „Blue Report“. This publication is a summary informational material which brings a complex information on the state of our waters and information on all water-management services which take care of water sources and their use by in- habitants and national economy. The flood situations in previous ten years made the public concentrate on flood-protection measures and recti- fication of flood damage, which is the reason you get a detailed information on projects and financial resources in this field. In 2007 next stages of programmes aimed at intensification of flood-protection measures in competence of Ministry of Agriculture started. Between the years 2007 – 2012 they will enable the implementation of events on watercourses, reservoirs, fishponds and in landscape in the amount of app. CZK 15 billion. Thanks to the support within the programmes of Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of the Environment there has also been a significant progress in the construction of sewerage systems and waste water treatment plants. As a result of this there has been a rise in the proportion of inhabitants connected to these systems, which exceeded 80 %. Over 95 % of the amount of discharged waste water is treated, which of course helps to improve the quality of water in our watercourses, as illustrated in the maps of cleaniness of water in comparison with the years 1990 – 2007.

  • MAPPING of CZECH LANDS DURING the 18Th CENTURY

    MAPPING of CZECH LANDS DURING the 18Th CENTURY

    th MAPPING OF CZECH LANDS DURING THE 18 CENTURY Miroslav Mikšovský, Rùžena Zimová Dept. of Mapping and Cartography, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University ín Prague Abstract The paper compiles the information on historical maps of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia originated in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The authors pay a special attention to the history of mapping of the Czech Lands during the 18th century. The Mûller’s map of Bohemia at an approximate scale 1:132 000 originated in the years 1712 till 1718 as the result of the first systematic topographic mapping of the Czech Lands. This map served as a base for the 1st military mapping realized in the years 1763-1787 on the area of the whole Austro-Hungarian monarchy at scale 1:28 800 without any st geodetic control. The paper presents a study of relations between the Mûller’s map of Bohemia, the maps from the 1 military mapping and the present Basic Map at scale 1:25 000. The test results are presented in a numerical and as well in a graphical form. INTRODUCTION The maps of historical as well contemporary Czech Lands, i.e. Bohemia, Moravia and the Czech part of Silesia originated probably as a part of mapping of the Middle-European area at the beginning of the 2nd millenium, what results from some written sources (e.g. the chronicle of the Prague capitulary dean Kosmas from the beginning of the 12th century, which presents the geographic view of Bohemia gathered around by mountains). First preserved map documents appeared up to the 16th and 17th centuries as the works of individual cartographers, who necessarily based their maps on older map sources with a high informative value.

    LOBKOWICZ PALACE Lobkovický Palác

    which is currently used as the offices of the Goethe Institute. Until 1939 the Embassy of the German Reich was located in the The Lobkowicz Palace Thunovská Street 18. The Lobkowicz Palace is one of the grandest and most impressive Baroque palaces in Prague. It was built by the Master of the Court Mint Count Karel Přehořovský of Kvasejovice, who probably 1989 commissioned the architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi (1655– The Lobkowicz Palace played an important role in recent German 1720). The palace was built between 1703 and 1707 on the site history, thanks to the events of summer and autumn 1989. East of the house “At the Three Musketeers” and the former brewery German citizens, hoping to emigrate to the West, sought sanctuary of the Strahov Monastery. Count Přehořovský overstretched his at the Embassy. Initially they were able to camp down in the attic, resources and was forced to sell the palace in 1713. After changing but as their numbers grew rapidly, they were allowed to stay in hands several times, in 1753 the palace ended up in the hands of the offices and reception rooms of the palace. In the end tents had the Lobkowicz family as a dowry. For the next 175 years it was to be put up in the garden. By the end of September there were the main Prague seat of the Hořín-Mělník branch of the family, about 4,000 East German citizens on the Embassy premises. On 30 founded in 1753. After a fire, the family employed the architect September 1989, the West German Foreign Minister, Hans-Dietrich Ignaz Palliardi (1737–1824) to add the top floor.

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.

  • The History of Books and Libraries in Bohemia

    The History of Books and Libraries in Bohemia

    Digital Editing of Medieval Manuscripts - Intellectual Output 1: Resources for Editing Medieval Texts (Paleography, Codicology, Philology) The history of books and libraries in Bohemia Michal Dragoun (Charles Univeristy in Prague) While books were initially rare in medieval Bohemia, they would come to play an important role in the lives of all social classes by the end of the Middle Ages. The pace of that advancement was not, however, constant. Many factors contributed to spread of books and to their use, some of them pushed the advancement forward significantly, others less significantly. Books were initially a monopoly of the Church and its institutions but gradually, the circle of book users extended to the laity and more and more texts came to be written in vernacular languages. Acknowledging the abundance or research into medieval books and libraries more generally, this overview will comment only on the most significant moments in the book culture of medieval Bohemia. There are two fundamental turning points in the history of Medieval Bohemian book culture – these were the establishment of a university in Prague, and the Hussite Reformation. To provide a brief overview of types of libraries, it is necessary to categorize them and study the development of individual categories. In any case, the Hussite period was the real turning point for a number of them. Sources The sheer abundance of sources provides the basis for a comprehensive overview of Bohemian book culture. The manuscripts themselves are the most significant source. However, the catalogues used to study Bohemian collections tend to be very old. As a result, the records are often incomplete and contextual information is often unavailable.
