048- CO0512 : Ingredients for Czech brewing . If something is known the city of Pilsen in the world is definitely his beer , the most emblematic of a country already with great brewing tradition . The factory which produces the original Pilsen beer offers visitors a walk through the ancient but modern facilities and history of those flavors fresh and slightly bitter, with malt and hops smell . Some might think even that Pilsen is only one type of beer and not have learned of the existence of a town by that name in western Bohemia. A mid-nineteenth century , was born in Pilsen , located 90 kilometers southwest of Prague , the beer that was destined to become one of the most famous Czech symbols for the rest of the world . Something certainly paradoxical, if we think that the creation of the brewery had to do with the usual poor quality Pilsen beer during the first half of that century.
Pilsen in the nineteenth century
In 1838 the city had 289 households with permission to brew , starting with the City Council . The producers were well-off , and were both Czechs and Germans. They had a small production , but were grouped in a kind of cooperative . The truth is that the procedure followed was not ideal , and to save money or the temperature or the ingredients were often adequate .
But the story would change from the year 1838, as has our guide for the Pilsner Urquell brewery , Monika Contrerasová .
Josef Groll ( painting ) and Monika Contrerasová
"This year the citizens of Pilsen with the right to brew together decided to build a brewery. In February of 1838 from the City of Pilsen had to be poured 36 barrels of beer that was not drinkable . They decided to save the good name of his beer this brewery building . "
The first beer in the newly built factory occurred on October 5, 1842 , by the brewmaster Josef Groll , from neighboring German region of Bavaria, whose beer is famous throughout the world . Despite being regarded as a parent for Pilsner Urquell , the truth is that Groll , after a few years in the factory was not renewed the contract. He drank too much , they say, was stubborn , rough and rude ways .
Tower water distribution
But the beer was first sold very well. The economic boom of the late nineteenth century can be seen in beautiful buildings such as the main gate of the factory, sandstone , held in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the brewery. Also in the water distribution tower , built in 1907, and apparently , is a copy of a Dutch lighthouse .
The memories of how it worked once the beer business are present along the entire route . Such as a train, where the wagons carrying beer before there coolers.
With that train is carrying beer
Contrerasová Monika explains the system that was to keep the beer at the required temperature in both summer and winter.
" With this train is carrying beer. The interesting thing is that it has double walls . In winter , the inner walls were filled with hot blocks so as not to cool the beer, and in summer , with ice, so it will not spoil . "

Later, the situation changed. In the eighteenth century , gingerbread was no longer a luxury and delight spread among all social classes . In the early nineteenth century began the mass production of this food.

But luckily the gingerbread tradition has never disappeared. Neither the legends told of him . Antonín Novotný remember one of them.
" Legend has it that when the family of a craftsman jengibrero a girl was born , the same day it was down to his workshop and prepare the gingerbread dough . The placed in a cloth bag tied to the beam to the roof of his house. Years later, when the girl was going to marry , took out the dough, again made ??it work and wedding cakes . "

It is true . Many people receive it as a gift and instead of eating it, it hangs on the wall like a picture or place it somewhere visible in your home keeping it as a souvenir , because they are embarrassed to eat something so beautiful .
But as I understood this sweet before I have not decorated ...
The tradition of decorating gingerbread began in the late nineteenth century . Then he stuck on printed images horses, soldiers , saints, etc. . Some bakers used to add flowers, mirrors and colored ribbons to give them more shine.
Today, is usually decorated with icing prepared egg whites and sugar. Some prefer white designs , reminiscent of lace or frost . Other colorants added to the icing .
As decoration methods , changing the reasons gingerbread . In the sixteenth century hearts prevailed in the seventeenth were popular portraits of kings and saints. In the eighteenth century , the favorite motifs were pigeons , horses and babies and , later, during the industrial revolution , were popular trains, guns and watches . And today , a bit of everything , says Antonín Novotný .
" The amount and gingerbread shapes we produce varies during the year . The highest consumption is found at Christmas , Easter , Saint Nicholas Day and Valentine . To prepare especially Christmas nativity scenes, snow and bells houses , for Easter , bunnies , chicks and eggs for San Nicolas , figures of angels and devils , and Valentine hearts . "

Maybe Cupid is waiting for you just a few feet underground.
Or so the authorities have thought public transport system of Prague , capital of Czech Republic , who have proposed the creation of a series of " love wagons " in the city subway .
The idea is that these cars , reserved only for singles looking for their soul mate , be a place for flirting , for seduction and , why not , to fall in love too.
The " Love cars " would work in each of the three metro lines in the Czech capital .
The three Prague metro lines , with a population of 1.2 million, adding up to a total distance of 59 kilometers . In 2011 transported 580 million passengers. No data on how many of these are single and have a desire to meet people .
ROPID , the company that manages the district of Prague public transport , will begin surveying passengers shortly to determine if they are interested in this service, which could be available later this year .
More public transport
The initiative is one of the activities designed by the company to ensure that the inhabitants of Prague use less personal vehicles and public transport.
This would have a significant economic and environmental impact for the city, says Filip Drapal spokesman ROPID .

That would be spaces for singles relate to other people, maybe your future partner .
" The idea is part of a new long-term campaign , which aims to show what activities can be done on public transport rather than the car , such as reading , studying, listening to music, playing electronic games and review the emails " Drapal told the German news site Spiegel Online.
Prague expects the iniciactiva not involve extra expense for the city : the plan is that dating agencies are sponsoring and pay to advertise in the " wagons of love."
Yes, the service will not work during the morning rush hours to avoid overcrowding of passengers in the other cars .
In " Love cars " Cupid must act fast : while in Berlin a subway ride can take an hour or more , the average time in Prague is five minutes.

Wagons " singles only " to flirt in the Prague metro
A cleaning advantages and speed, the Prague Metro just add one more argument to promote public transport : in the hectic pace of today's society, a wagon is the place to flirt and , therefore , reserved spaces that singles find their mates . The idea is still in its infancy , but has good prospects to be realized before the end of the year. " It will not be difficult or expensive project . And it is spreading very fast through social networks ," says Aneta Rehková spokesman Municipal Transport Company (MHD ) , of the Czech capital . Since the company fits this initiative in the hope that people see public transport not only as an economical way to travel, but also as a part of daily life . "Although the distances are short lived , the frenetic pace we live , people have to find a soul mate fast ," argues Rehková , which is excited with the creation of these wagons for singles. Good reception the moment, that opinion is , according to the spokeswoman , shared by many Prague and the proposal is setting reasonable welcomed public opinion . A reader survey by the newspaper Tyden notes that 56 % of single wagons looks like a great idea while 43 % think it is nonsense . Sense or not, the idea emerged as a sales pitch , vaguely inspired initiatives such as women-only carriages operating in Tokyo or Mexico City. Thus, MHD conceived this idea as a way to " attract young people " to public transport . " The Prague metro , with nearly 600 million passengers each year , will become the greater chance to get acquainted. And sure what to choose between " promises Filip Drapal spokesman ROPID , the public entity who designs the plan city ??transport . Drapal arguments carry weight , " Surveys say that more and more increases the number of singles ." In addition , if the meter can be read and study , " why not find your partner? " Proposes . Doubts about how you would do with the motivation very clear , the company has yet to define the logistics of the plan, for example, if these cars will love the end of each convoy or the frequency with which circulate . " Do not know yet if it will be the last car that stops at the station, or work only one day a week or a certain time ," speculates Rehková . Do not be forced to flirt and will be sorely ahíEllo not depend on the segment of the public that preferentially targeting the campaign : "It may be at the time when young people leave school or work ," he explains . What is clear is that no one will be discriminated against . " Do not be forced to flirt and we will take them there," says Rehková on those subway down and the couple start or who prefer to abandon while still single.

064- CO0224 : Jewish Museum of Prague . Spanish Synagogue .
The Spanish Synagogue ( Hebrew: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? , Czech : Špan ? Lská synagogue ) is a synagogue located in Prague's Josefov neighborhood and inspired by Viennese Leopoldstädter Tempel Synagogue .
His name is probably due to the fact that it presents a Moorish style very similar to that developed in Spanish monuments such as the Alhambra .
It was built between 1868-1893 and repaired in the 1990s after the Nazi occupation of World War II , in which the building was used as a storehouse for goods confiscated from Jews .
history
In the place where the synagogue is currently before there was another Jewish temple known as Stara škola ( Old School ) . Was built between the eleventh and twelfth centuries , and the oldest existing information it is the year 1142. Possibly it was built and used by the Sephardim of Byzantine origin .
Between 1836 and 1845 he worked as an organist Frantšek Škroup , the author of the Czech national anthem Kde domov m ? J ? ( Where is my home ? ) .
Old School in later years served as a synagogue for the Jews of Prague reformers German native speakers . Due to poor condition of Old School and due to inadequate reconstruction in neogothic style , it was decided to destroy and replace the current building . They used the Moorish style which was very popular in European Jewish communities of the nineteenth century .
The architects responsible for renovating the building were Ullman and Niklas . The decor inside made ??stucco Q. B? Lský . The synagogue was completed between 1882 and 1893 .
In 1935 the inagoga was extended by the South , according to the project of architect K. Pecánek . This part is known as the Hermitage of Winter . During World War II the synagogue served as a store of objects other synagogues confiscated other Czech Jewish communities . Between 1958 and 1959 he rebuilt the interior and the synagogue became the custodian of the Jewish Museum . However, the building began to neglect and thus closed . Finally , in 1989 new works began to recover its original beauty. It was reopened in 1994 and was first used for religious service , in principle only holidays and Mass later for regular Friday night.
The owner of the building is the Jewish Museum in Prague . Near the synagogue also have their offices , library and deposits .
present
Today the synagogue houses an exhibition of the Jewish Museum presents the history of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia from Josephine reforms until the twentieth century , including several silver objects synagogues.

Besides religious rites are concerts of classical music.

The most spectacular synagogue Undoubtedly , the most spectacular synagogue in the Jewish quarter of Prague .
Built in 1868 on the site of the oldest synagogue in Prague ( Old School ) , has been named " The Spanish " because of its Moorish décor , high similarity to the Alhambra in Granada .
It can be visited every day except Saturdays, from 9:00 pm. Until 18:00 pm, in summer and 16:30 in winter ( not sold individually input to this synagogue , joint ticket must be purchased for all synagogues , about 20 euros ) .

Besides the beautifully decorated ceilings and walls , the temple shows books, records and photographs of the Jewish community in Prague and during the Holocaust .
Another room displays a collection of sacred instruments as Torah crowns or pointers , all in silver.
Outside awaits a sculpture in homage to Franz Kafka.
A visit not to be missed One visit you can not miss the day you roam Prague 's Jewish Quarter is the Spanish Synagogue .
Its name comes from the Jews who took refuge here after being expelled from Spain by the Catholic Monarchs . It has a collection of sacred textiles from all over Europe really important.
Really its charm lies in the interior, with ornate decoration . The building is also very nice but rather more austere and Moorish style .

It is located in the place where the first synagogue was located in Prague. Also in this synagogue are concerts of classical music in a privileged environment.
The most beautiful synagogues in the Jewish quarter we visit several synagogues , but certainly the one I liked was the Spanish Synagogue , and not because the earth pull , but because the interior was the most surprised me with a Moorish style reminiscent of the Alhambra in Granada .
Right next to the synagogue is the statue of Franz Kafka , the most famous person in this neighborhood.

Undoubtedly , one of the great attractions that you find on the tour of the Jewish Quarter of Prague , called Josefov , is the Spanish Synagogue , next to which is the sculpture Memorial to Franz Kafka.

This is called a large building , which after its last restoration dates from 1868, which shows a spectacular Moorish decoration .
The architectural beauty of this historic Jewish synagogue is not on the outside , which is rather austere . It is among them that we will be surprised by its its top decor and style of the same , with an unmistakable style that reminds us of many medieval buildings of Spain .
The Spanish Synagogue you can see in the neighborhood where you can also visit the old Jewish Cemetery, occupies the place of establishment of the first synagogue in the city , in the twelfth century , and became known as Old School.
The Spanish Synagogue designation comes from the sixteenth century, when Prague became a community of Sephardic Jews fleeing the Inquisition of Spain .
After several fires , as I said, the last reconstruction of the Spanish Synagogue in Prague was made in 1868 , while its interior decoration was not completed until 1893 .
Curiously, Frantisek Skroup , author of the current national anthem of the Czech Republic , was the mid- nineteenth century organist and choral director of the Spanish Synagogue , in particular, in the previous building that we currently see .
We also need to know that , in the tradition that is in the city of Prague in the Spanish Synagogue also regularly held concerts of classical music , with a frame actually recommended to enjoy one of these concerts .

The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague ( Czech: Old Jewish h ? Bitov ) is located in the Jewish Quarter of Prague ( Czech Republic , the Josefov . Was used since the fifteenth century ( the oldest grave , that of Avigdor Kara , dates from before , 1439 ) to 1787 .
His predecessor was another cemetery called "The Jewish Garden " located in the New Town of Prague and recently found through various archaeological excavations.
The number of graves of people buried is uncertain, because there are several layers of graves. In any case, it has been estimated that there are 12,000 graves aproxidamente apparently visible, which rest over 100,000 Jews.
Some of the most famous people buried in the cemetery are Mordecai Maisel ( 1601 ) , Rabbi Judah Loew ( 1609 ), David Gans ( 1613 ) and David Oppenheim ( 1736 ) .
history
It is unclear when exactly the cemetery was founded . This has been discussed many experts . Some of them say the V. century cemetery Others date it instead in the first half of the fifteenth century , as the oldest grave belongs to Rabbi and poet Avigdor Kara ( 1439 ) and attribute its foundation to King Otakar II of Bohemia.
According to Halacha , Jews must not destroy Jewish graves , and not allowed to transport a tomb elsewhere. This means that when the cemetery ran out of space and get extra land was impossible, more layers of earth were placed on the graves exist , so that the old graves were moved and buried under new layers of earth. This explains why the graves are located so close to each other . Eventually, the cemetery accumulated over 12 layers of earth.
068- CO0285 : The names of the victims on the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue .
The fifteenth century Pinkas Synagogue , named in honor of its founder , Rabbi Pinkas , is located just behind the entrance to the Old Jewish Cemetery .
The Pinkas Synagogue is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Bohemia and Moravia : their names are inscribed on the walls of the nave and adjoining areas . The text of the inscriptions was compiled from different files , from transport documents , registration lists and statements of the survivors. The inscriptions include the names of the victims , his place of birth and place of his death, in cases in which the date of death unknown ( in many cases) , is inscribed the date of the deportation to ghettos and camps extermination , usually the last information we have about the victims. The names are grouped by cities and towns in which they lived before deportation or arrest, and are presented in alphabetical order : the nave groups all those whose last address was that of Prague , the rest of the interior space commemorates the victims outside the city .
On both sides of the Sacred Arch are engraved the names of the ghettos and concentration camps where Jews were deported Bohemia and Moravia , and in many cases , killed .
From 1954-1959 , the Pinkas synagogue was turned into a memorial to the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia. During this period , were engraved the names of the 80,000 Jews of Bohemia and Moravia who were persecuted and murdered in the Holocaust .
In 1968 , the synagogue was closed because there were floods in its foundations , jeopardizing the building and damaging its structure. During the restoration work were found several old facilities . The Communist regime deliberately slowed the restoration work and inscriptions with the names of those killed during the Holocaust were withdrawn. Unable to complete the restoration of the building until 1990 , and between 1992 and 1994 they recorded the names of the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia killed during the Holocaust.
In 1994, the Pinkas Synagogue and the Jewish Museum , which is closely related to the synagogue , received independent support from the State. From 1996 he completed the task of re- inscribe the names of Jews killed in the walls of the Pinkas Synagogue .
The synagogue was severely damaged during the floods of summer 2002 , and it was not reopened until August 2004 , after extensive restoration work.
This is one long epitaph memorial commemorating the names of those for whom there has been erected a tombstone.
Holocaust Victims also are commemorated in a permanent exhibition of children's drawings from Terezín that since May 1997 , is housed on the top floor of the synagogue . The history of children deported to Terezín is described in 19 sections in the adjacent room to the upstairs gallery .
The story is described from the drawings of children in Terezín made ??between 1942 and 1944 , which were carried out during the classes organized by Friedl Dicker - Brandeis ( 1898-1944 ) , a painter and interior designer , also admitted in the ghetto. As part of a clandestine essentially education program for children in Terezín , classes of art became major elements in daily life in the ghetto. These classes functioned as a kind of therapy for children, which helped them to cope with life in the ghetto.
Before his deportation to Auschwitz , Dicker two suitcases filled with more than 4,500 children's drawings and hid . They were recovered immediately after the war and taken to the Jewish Museum in Prague . They have become a reminder of the tragic fate of the Jews during World War II .

After World War II , the synagogue became a monument to the Jews of Bohemia and Moravia murdered by the Nazis . On its walls are inscribed the names of the Jewish victims , their personal data, and the names of the communities to which they belonged. In 1968 , however , the Monument was closed due to groundwater seepage , which threatened the building structure . During insulation work were discovered underground spaces , an old well and a ritual bath . The communist regime intentionally delayed the repair work and the inscriptions were removed. It was not possible until 1990 to complete the building modifications . Finally, between 1992-1996 , the 80 000 names of Czech and Moravian Jewish victims of Nazism were written on the walls again .
On the first floor of the Pinkas Synagogue is exposure of children Drawings Terezín , 1942-1944 . Among the prisoners at Terezin had over 10 000 children under age 15 to be captured.
