What's in a Prague street name

Neveklovská was built in 1941.

Neveklov is a town of 2,800 people in Central Bohemia, about 12 km east of Benešov and, therefore, about 30 km north of Prague.

The earliest written mention we know of dates from 1285, and we assume it was once the court of somebody called Nevykl or similar. That written mention concerns the sale of the settlement to the Zderaz Monastery in Prague’s New Town (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2024/09/01/prague-2-day-159-na-zderaze/).

Neveklov was promoted to market town status in 1563; its subsequent history follows a familiar pattern for Bohemian towns (confiscated from Hussites and given to Catholics in the 1620s / badly damaged by fires in 1752, 1790 and 1814; ravaged by plague in 1772).

In May 1940, Neveklov was the scene of the last ever concert by the violinist Jan Kubelík (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2023/01/14/prague-3-day-138-kubelikova/); he died later that year.

In September 1942, Neveklov and its surrounding villages were evacuated so that the SS could set up ‘SS Training Area Bohemia’. Returning residents in 1945 found a town in disrepair, and with unexploded mines.

These days, Neveklov offers fine views of the Vltava, as well as cultural monuments including the church of St. Havel, a rectory, a chapel from 1700, a synagogue and the Jewish cemetery.
