Lycka square - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

The square at Križíkova Street is modified with parks and it is decorated with tiny sculptures. It was founded in the beginning of 20th century during building of the eastern part of Karlín. In 1906-1940 it was called the Square of Rieger, in memory of Czech patriot and politician František Ladislav Rieger (1818-1903). In 1940-1945, i.e. in the time of German occupation, it was called the Square of Erben, after the Czech poet, novelist, linguist, historian, folklorist and last but not least the first archivist of the royal capital of Prague at that time, Karel Jaromír Erben (1811-1870). For short time, in 1945-1948, the square got back the name of Rieger. Since 1948 it has been called the Square of Lycka. Bretislav Lycka, MD (1903-1942), as a resistance worker, nursed the injured participants of attempt on the life of Reinhard Heydrich. In July 1942 when his shelter was revealed and closed in, he shot himself to death.
