What's in a Prague street name

Nad Pekařkou was named in 1972.

‘Pekařka’ translates as ‘baker’ (female). It was also the name of a farmstead which came into being in the early 1800s and was located around here. It later gained an inn, Na Pekařce.

In the second half of the 20th century, the area was used by Polygrafia, a printing company, at least until the 1970s, when the former farmstead was demolished.
