History of the town of Český Krumlov

According to legend, the name Krumlov is derived from the German "Krumme Aue", which may be translated as "crooked meadow". The name comes from the natural topography of the town, specifically from the tightly crooked meander of the Vltava river. The word "Český" simply means Czech, or Bohemian (actually one and the same), as opposed to Moravian or Silesian. In Latin documents it was called Crumlovia or Crumlovium. The town was first mentioned in documents from 1253, where Krumlov was called Chrumbonowe.

Die Geschichte der Stadt Český Krumlov

Der Name der Stadt wird von dem deutschen Ausdruck "Krumme Aue" abgeleitet, der als "Křivý luh" übersetzt wird. Diese Bezeichnung wurde von natürlichen Gegebenheiten abgeleitet, konkret von der Form des Geländes, auf dem sich die Stadt ausdehnt - sie liegt in S-förmig verlaufenden Mäandern des Flusses Vltava (Moldau). In den lateinischen Urkunden wird sie Crumlovia oder Crumlovium genannt. Die erste Erwähnung der Stadt ist in einer Urkunde aus dem Jahre 1253 enthalten, in der Krumlov als Chrumbenowe bezeichnet wird.

Town Hall clock

The town hall acquired its first clock at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1490, when it was rebuilt by a master clockmaker called Hanuš, the councillors are said to have been so anxious to prevent him from recreating his masterpiece elsewhere, that they blinded the poor man. Though it has been repaired many times since, the mechanism of the clock we see today was perfected by Jan Táborský between 1552 and 1572.

Old Town Square - (Staroměstské náměstí)

Shadows of spring and the Monument of Jan Hus Mystic, traditions and the history of the Czech nation unfold their beauty in the centre of old Prague, every time the Astronomical Clock strikes the exact hour. The history of the square goes back to the 10th century, when the place was one of the favourite market places in the developing town of Prague.

Die astronomische Uhr in Prag (Prager Orloj, tschechisch aus dem lat. horologium) befindet sich an der Südmauer des alten Rathauses am Altstädter Ring. Die ältesten Teile, die mechanische Uhr sowie das astronomische Zifferblatt, stammen aus dem Jahr 1410 und begründen damit die drittälteste Uhr dieser Art. Sie wurde von den Uhrmachern Mikuláš von Kadaň und Jan Šindel gebaut. Es handelt sich um eine Große Uhr mit 24-Stunden-Zifferblatt.

Um 1490 wurde die Fassade mit gotischen Bildhauereien verziert und ein Kalendarium hinzugefügt. Die Uhr wurde viele Male repariert, das erste Mal 1552 von Jan Táborský. Erst im 17. Jahrhundert wurden die beweglichen Figuren hinzugefügt. Nach einer größeren Reparatur in den Jahren 1865-1866 wurde die Prozession der zwölf Apostel in Betrieb gesetzt, die zu jeder vollen Stunde zu bewundern ist. Die Bilder stammen von Josef Mánes.

In den letzten Tagen des zweiten Weltkrieges erlitt die Orloj schwere Schäden während eines deutschen Angriffs. Das Rathaus brannte dabei vollständig ab, zusammen mit den hölzernen Skulpturen und dem künstlerischen Zifferblatt des Kalendariums. Nach aufwendigen Restaurierungsarbeiten konnte die Mechanik in ihren Originalzustand zurückversetzt werden und läuft seit 1948 wieder.

Chers lecteurs, amateurs d´Histoire, de Cultureet d´Art, J´ai l´honneur de vous présenter une publication consacrée aux jardins et au château de Kromeriz. Elle est le résultat de l´effort de la Ville de Kromeriz, des Institutions Culturelles, de l´Administrationet des historiens, afin d´aboutir ŕ l´inscription de l´ensemble des jardins et du château de Kromerizŕ la liste du patrimoine culturel de l´UNESCO.La nombreuse documentation présentée ŕ cette organisation internationale était probante et les principaux monuments de Kromeriz ont été classés parmi ceux d´importance mondiale le 2 décembre 1998. La protection du patrimoine culturel était essentielle pour la ville et représentait une obligation culturelle durant toute l´histoire récente. La ville, le château archiépiscopal et les deux jardins qui nous rappellent - outre une tradition culturelle - le message démocratique de l´Assemblée constituante de l´Empire d´Autriche (1848 - 1849) ont connu pendant la derničre décennie de grands développements, comparables ŕ la reconstruction grandiose réalisée dans la deuxičme moitié du dix-septičme sičcle aprčs la guerre de Trente Ans.

Staroměstská radnice (Old-Town Town Hall), Staroměstské náměstí 1

The symbol of the self-administration of the Staré Město originated in 1338. The core of the whole building is the Gothic corner house of the end of the 13th century to which the burghers additionally built the 66 m high tower with a chapel. The sightseeing route leads through valuable historic interiors, accessible is also the town hall tower with the observation gallery. At the horologe of 1410 every whole hour between 9:00 – 21:00 twelve apostles appear.

History of the Building

The Galerie Rudolfinum (part of The Czech Philharmonic) is a state non-profit institution directed and financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, and has its seat in the reconstructed building of Prague Rudolfinum, together with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. J. Zítek and J. Schulz, architects of the National Theatre in Prague, designed the representative neo-renaissance building of the Rudolfinum, completed in 1884, to house both a concert hall and a gallery. Located in the vicinity of the Museum of Decorative Arts, the Faculty of Philosophy, and the Academy of Decorative Arts, on the edge of the historical city districts Old Town and Lesser Town, it is a natural centre of cultural life in Prague.
