What's in a Prague street name

Every street in Prague, one by one.


Prague 4, day 69: Na výsledku I

Na výsledku I was named in 1947.

A ‘výsledek’ is a result, outcome, score, etc.

It’ll be (extremely) clear to anyone following these recent posts that there was a lot of construction of residential buildings around here in the 1930s and 1940s. A lot.

By 1947, this street didn’t have a name yet. Not feeling terribly creative, the Central National Committee of the City of Prague declared that, as the street was the result of the hard work done by the builders, the street should be called what literally translates as ‘on the result’.
