Železný Brod v běhu času, do roku 1948 – Taranda Petr (2024)

The ancient town of Železný Brod, bordered to the north by the foothills of the Jizera Mountains and the Krkonoš, and to the south by the slopes of the extinct volcano Kozákov. In the place where the stream Žernovník flows into the Jizera, there used to be a very important river ford of two land paths, and here a settlement naturally arose, originally called 'Brodce'. The name 'Brod' appears only with the elevation of the village to a town in the 14th century. ***** CONTENT: From the history of Železný Brod, First Postcard, Sokol, Theatre and the Tyl Theatre Company, Postcards of the square, Business Association, Pojizerský Industrial and Export Institute in Železný Brod, Glassmaking in Železný Brod, Glass School, Textile Industry, Roads, Overall views of Železný Brod from the early 20th century, Hotels, inns and restaurants, Other inns, Savings Bank and District Economic Savings Bank, Visits of presidents in Železný Brod, Notable residents of Železný Brod, Neighboring municipalities, Judicial district of Železný Brod (1918-1947), Economic upheavals associated with the global economic crisis, the rise of Nazism, preparations for the defense of the republic and the conference of the three powers in Munich, Judicial district of Železný Brod during the so-called Second Republic and under Nazi occupation, Železný Brod during the Protectorate, Resistance in the judicial district of Železný Brod and…
