The puzzle depicts a commemorative plaque that commemorates the establishment of the independent state of Czechoslovakia. The Czechoslovak state was established on October 28, 1918, when it declared independence from Austria-Hungary. From 1948 to 1989, Czechoslovakia was part of the Eastern Bloc, ruled by the Communist Party. The Communist regime was ended in 1989 by the Velvet Revolution. At the end of 1992, Czechoslovakia was divided into two independent states - the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The plaque is located on the wall of Municipal House [CZ: Obecní dum], in the building where the declaration of the independent state of Czechoslovakia took place.

ZPRACOVAL LADISLAV ŠALOUN


"The Municipal House stands at the site of the royal residence called King's Court. It was a building from the time of Wenceslas IV around 1383, which served as an interim dwelling of King Zikmund; Ladislav Pohrobek died here and the coronation procession of Jirí z Podebrad started its journey here. However, after 1490 Jagellons moved their seat to Buda and pledged the King’s Court in 1515. In 1631 Cardinal Arnošt Vojtech Harrach redeemed it in order to establish the Archbishop Seminary there (from 1636). After the abolishment of the Jesuit order the seminar was moved to Klementinum and the army obtained the building. Králodvorská barracks remained here until 1869 and consequently the military cadet school was here. The King's Court was demolished in 1902 - 1903."
