What's in a Prague street name

Hradeckých was built in 1931.

This one can be explained by pointing to a few previous stories.

Hradečtí are people from Hradec Králové, which, with 94,000 inhabitants, is Czechia’s eighth-largest city, and has a street named after it in Prague 3: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2023/06/24/prague-3-day-176-hradecka/.

By association, Hradečtí are also soldiers from Hradec Králové, and, near here, there was a significant battle – and Hussite victory / Catholic defeat – on 1 November 1420: https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/02/01/prague-4-day-21-na-vitezne-plani/.

As well as the soldiers from Prague, the key Hussite fighters came from Louny (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/02/04/prague-4-day-24-lounskych/) and Žatec (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/02/03/prague-4-day-23-zateckych/) – and from Hradec Králové.

Louny and Žatec were two of the five towns that it was predicted would survive the apocalypse. HK was not – but all three are still there. So that’s nice.
