What's in a Prague street name

Půlnoční was built in 1973.

Continuing (and completing) the ‘times of day’ series last seen on https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/02/03/prague-4-day-299-vecerni/, ‘půlnoční’ is the adjective from ‘půlnoc’, literally ‘half night’ and therefore midnight.

Outside of its literal meaning, the most likely place in which you’ve heard the word ‘půlnoc’ is in relation to the band of the same name, founded in 1988 by three members of the Plastic People of the Universe.
