In the footsteps of the Jewish inhabitants of Ústí nad Labem

The main square of the city

We are standing in a place that was successively called Marktplatz (1850–1933), then in Czech Tržní náměstí (1933–1938). Subsequently, after the occupation of Sudetenland and during World War II, it was renamed Square of the SA (Platz der SA). From the end of the war until 1952 it was called President Beneš square, and since 1952 it has been called Mírové náměstí (Peace square).

The postcard captured the appearance of the square in 1903.


Is there anything you see in the postcard of the square from 1903 that is the same today?
