What's in a Prague street name

Mezivrší was first given a name in 1911.

Until 1947 (other than during the Nazi occupation), it was called Kateřinská, supposedly an old name for the immediate surrounding area. One has to assume there was a church or other institution named after St Catherine.

For a still-existing street called Kateřinská to the north of here, see https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/08/28/prague-2-day-128-katerinska/.

Mezivrší is steep-ish, and its name reflects this, translating as ‘between the hills’ (well, it sort of reflects this – I walked up it and the start of the route seemed decidedly low down).

The street has three above-average-sized oak trees, saved from being cut down by local residents in 2007 and declared as ‘commemorative trees’ (think listed buildings, only with trees) in 2008: https://www.prazskestromy.cz/stromy/pamatne-stromy/87-skupina-dubu-letnich-v-ulici-mezivrsi/.
