What's in a Prague street name

Dvorecké náměstí was built in 1930.

The settlement of Dvorce (German: Dworetrz) was first mentioned in writing in 1222.

Originally, its properties were owned by the Vyšehrad Chapter (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/08/24/prague-2-day-94-k-rotunde/), but, during the Hussite Wars, they were taken by the people of Prague, although they would be returned to the Chapter by 1500.

In 1547, they were confiscated by Emperor Ferdinand I and given to the Granovský family. They changed hands several times over the centuries, until serfdom was abolished in 1848; a couple of years later, Dvorce became part of Podolí (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2025/07/11/prague-4-day-141-podolska/).
