The Husinec "room" - a place of memories and centuries of embarrassment

Martin Gaži

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):91-102  

The study summarizes the history of Husinec houses Nos. 36 and 37 which stand on the site traditionally regarded as the birthplace of the medieval Catholic reformer Jan Hus. The memorial value of the site methodically reaches into the European context of research of social memorial frameworks (Maurice Halbwachs, Eric Hobsbawm, Paul Connerton, Pierre Nora, Peter Burke) and into the context of revered Catholic and reformation "home towns" (especially of St. John Nepomuk and Martin Luther). There exists a turning point in the social acceptance of the site as associated with the pan-Slavic oriented "annual pilgrimage" to Jan Hus' birthplace, organized...

Marie Foltýnová

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):103-114  

The ideological conflict of 1889 between the representatives of the Young Czech Party and conservative parties around the name of Jan Hus at the new building of the National Museum started a twenty-five-year effort to build a monumental memorial to Jan Hus in Prague. An association for building a Jan Hus memorial was founded in Prague which, together with other institutions and individuals, first began to collect funds to build the monument. In addition to competition auditions to select the best artistic design, the association also pushed for the placement of the monument on one of Prague's prestigious squares. The winning design by sculpture Ladislav...

"Outstanding in coziness and grace". Czechoslovak Hussite churches in the Hradec Králové region from the 1920's and 1930's and their heritage appreciation

Ladislav Zikmund-Lender

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):115-124  

The study presents the unique and very rich heritage fund of churches of the Czechoslovak Hussite Church in the Hradec Králové region, which likely holds the largest number of cultural monuments from this segment of architectural heritage. The architectural appearance of the churches took shape mainly during the 1920's. The first canon was the modernized ancient church and architectural decorativism, the synthesis of which is, for example, the church in Jaroměř. A creative competition in 1924 brought a shift towards ascetic and material forms of construction, the richest synthesis of which are the works of Josef Gočár in Hradec Králové and Jan Víšek...

Collection of works by Lorenz Kohl von Kohlenegg in Klobouky near Brno

Pavla Cenková

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):150-156  

Among the movable cultural monuments registered in the municipality of Klobouky near Brno is a set of several paintings registered on the state list on the basis of mistakenly designated authorship as the works of the famous Prague painter Ludwig Kohl (1746-1821). Other professional literature has stated incorrect authorization of the pictures as well as their inaccurate dating. Current research now convincingly demonstrates that the author of the set was Baron Lorenz Kohl von Kohlenegg (1783-1851), an Austrian officer and lithographer. Field research shows that the subsequent paintings of Lorenz Kohl are currently in the property of the Roman Catholic...

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):157-167  

The article describes the condition of funerary furnishings of the Gryspek family of Griesbach, deposited in the family tomb of the Kralovice church of Sts. Peter and Paul. The clothing can be distinguished between the original from the late 16th and early 17th century, and shrouds that the bodies received as gifts during the 19th century. The analysis focuses primarily on the original burial clothes, their descriptions and analogies. The research was conducted during two conservation interventions in 2012. The article concludes by addressing the ethical issue of researching burial textiles.

Klára Andresová

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):168-175  

The present study focuses on the library of the state castle of Hrádek u Nechanic, which belonged to the counts of Harrach from its founding in the mid-19th century to 1945. It then passed into state ownership then to the administration of the department of castle libraries of the National Museum in Prague in 1954.Most of the Hrádek books come from the 19th century. Even though in older literature, this book fund was indicated as significantly bohemical and some sources even reported that Czech literature prevailed linguistically, in fact it contains mostly German language literature, making up about a third of the fund. There are almost a thousand...

Educational programs as a tool for understanding industrial heritage

Květa Jordánová

Zprávy památkové péče 2015, 75(2):176-180  

The topic of this article was chosen as a response to the current position of technical monuments of the cultural heritage fund. The term is accepted by the broad non-professional public. Due to an incomprehension of the importance of the technical monuments and their values (architectural and artistic value, technological stream, evidence of human activity development, etc.), however, important sites are being destroyed, the original technical equipment is being lost, and inadequate architectural conversions are taking place. One of the solutions (which may improve the current situation) is gradual public education arranged through educational programs...
