Vinohrady – Wikipedia

Le Parc Havlíčkovy sady

Vineyard (literally “the vineyards”) is a cadastral district of Prague. His name comes from the fact that at XIV ^{It is} A century, the place was covered with vineyards. Vinohrady is in the administrative districts of Prague 2, Prague 3 and Prague 10.

At XIX ^{It is} A century, Vinohrady is still an independent city east of Prague. In 1849, Vineyard mountains (“Les Monts Vinicololes”) change its name to become Vineyard (“The vineyards”), following the unification of all the hamlets. In 1867, the place was divided into two parts. The first will become the žižkov district. The second will be renamed in Kralovske Vinohrady (“Royal vineyards”).
A post office was opened in 1876 in the name of Obere vineyard near Prague – Horni Vinohrady U Prahy . The city is designated chief town of the district of Königliche Weinberge – Královské Vinohrady , one of the 94 District captain in Bohemia ^{[ first ]} (probably in 1882).

She obtained the official “city” status in 1879.

At that time Vinhorady experienced large constructions. The wealthy bourgeoisie develops the city and has large buildings built in Art Nouveau style. The old heterogeneous assembly of hamlets and residences takes the form of a homogeneous city.
In 1897, the electric tram was introduced to Vinohrady. He linked the stations Muzeum And Flora .

Vinohrady has always tried to remain independent of Prague, but in 1922, she was attached to it, when creating Great Prague (La Grande Prague). Deemed to be a bourgeois district, the place therefore does not inspire political confidence. It was therefore divided by the communist regime in 1949 into several municipal districts.

The second largest park in Prague, Havlíčkovy Sady (literally “The orchards of Havlíček”) are located in Vinohrady. At Gröbovka Park, next to Havlíčkovy Sady, is a vineyard that is always exploited.

In accordance with its history, this district remains bourgeois unlike the neighboring neighborhoods žIžkov and Vršovice rather workers.

This district is mainly served by metro lines A and C. The metro had been introduced in the years 1978 – 1980.
It is also served by tram lines (4, 6, 10, 11, 16, 22 and 23). Buses are little present with only lines 134 and 135.
