What's in a Prague street name

Branické náměstí was built in 1911.

Until 1947, the square was named after Jan Hus (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/10/05/prague-1-day-169-husova/).

Branické náměstí is pretty small, and currently feels even smaller, because it’s fenced off (pics of Jan Hus behind bars below).

It was recently given a facelift which was completed in August 2025 (about a year later than intended), but the square has several private owners who have to comment on the works by a certain deadline, and only after that can it be opened to the public.

One rather wonders what would happen if one of them chose to object.
