Rue Legerova - Izeria

La rue Legerova est une voie de Prague. Une partie de la rue se trouve dans le quartier de Nové Město, et une autre partie dans le quartier de Vinohrady.

1. Origine du nom

La rue porte le nom du professeur français Louis Léger (1843-1923), qui a soutenu l'idée d'un État tchèque indépendant.

1. Historique

Les nouveaux murs de la ville couraient dans le sens de la rue sur une longueur totale d'environ 6 kilomètres. Actuellement, une partie de la rue forme la frontière entre les quartiers Nové Město et Vinohrady. Elle fait partie de l'autoroute Nord-Sud, et mène du pont Nusle au centre de Prague.[réf. nécessaire] Le nom original de la rue était Táborská. Le 8 janvier 1923, à l'occasion du 80e anniversaire du professeur Louis Léger, la rue fut rebaptisée « Legerova ». Au moment de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle s'appelait Havlíčkova, puis sous le régime communiste, elle s'appelait Lidových milicí (cs) (Milice populaire), c'est depuis 1990 qu'elle s'appelle à nouveau Legerova. En raison du trafic automobile intense, les valeurs de concentration de poussière sont les plus élevées non seulement à Prague, mais parfois aussi de toute la République tchèque.

Petschek Palace

The Petschek Palace (Czech: Petschkův palác or Pečkárna) is a neoclassicist building in Prague. It was built between 1923 and 1929 by the architect Max Spielmann upon a request from the merchant banker Julius Petschek and was originally called "The Bank House Petschek and Co." (Bankhaus Petschek & Co.) Despite its historicizing look, the building was then a very modern one, being constructed of reinforced concrete and fully air-conditioned. It also had tube post, phone switch-board, printing office, a paternoster lift (which is still functioning), and massive safes in the sublevel floor. The building was sold by the Petschek family before the occupation of Czechoslovakia, and the family left the country. It was during the war years that the place gained its notoriety, as it immediately became the headquarters of Gestapo for the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It was here where the interrogations and torturing of the Czech resistance members took place, as well as the courts-martial established by Reinhard Heydrich which sent most of the prisoners to death or to Nazi concentration camps. Many people died as a result of imprisonment and torture in the building itself. A memorial plaque that commemorates the victims was unveiled on the corner of the building. In 1948 the building was acquired by the then-Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Trade. Today it is the residence of a part of the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade. In 1989 the building became a National Cultural Monument (Národní kulturní památka). The exterior was used as stand-in for the Gemeinschaft Bank (Zurich, Switzerland) in the 2002 film The Bourne Identity.

Battle for Czech Radio

An illicit broadcast from the radio studio in Prague helped spark the Prague uprising during the final days of World War II, but German counterattacks led to a pitched battle breaking out. The conflict became known as the Battle for Czech Radio (Czech: Boj o Český rozhlas). By controlling the radio, the Czech resistance was able to inform and inspire the people of Prague to effective action during the Prague uprising. German forces were unable to prevent the Czechs from broadcasting. However, the attempts to appeal to Russians and Americans for aid were unsuccessful.
