What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 64: U družstva Repo

U družstva Repo was built in 1938.

As discussed on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/03/28/prague-4-day-60-druzstevni-ochoz/, everything in this (just about) circle is all about the družstva, or cooperatives.

In this case of this street, all the homes were built by a construction cooperative called Repo.

The word ‘repo’ relates to a lending rate, but it seems there’s nothing about this cooperative on the internet at all, although a housing cooperative called REPO 97, founded in, yes, 1997, is registered in the street.
