What's in a Prague street name

U Šálkovny was built in 1935.

Vineyards existed around here at least as far back as 1400. About four hundred years later, a farmstead was set up here by an owner called Mr Šálek. Šálek was Jewish and, for a time, the farmstead included a synagogue.

After World War One – by which time the farmstead was owned by a Mr Vosátko – there were plans to sell it to the City of Prague, but this didn’t happen.

It was ultimately expropriated in 1945, by which time it was in a terrible state, and was replaced by, amongst other things, a kindergarten, presumably this one: https://www.msmezivrsi.cz/.
