Betlémy v pohraničí - Hledání Proboštovy a Wittigovy inspirace
Tvorba mechanických betlémů je velice náročná a zdlouhavá. Autor musí ovládat mnoho řemesel, mít technické zázemí a hlavně musí být trpělivý. Většinou se jedná o mnohaletou práci, tedy dílo celoživotní. Prohlášením Proboštova betlému Národní kulturní památkou v roce 1999 se jeho lidovým tvůrcům dostalo zaslouženého uznání.

Pardubice - A Beautiful Czech Jewel in Eastern Bohemia
Pardubice in Eastern Bohemia is a city on the Elbe river which is navigable downstream from here. Coming from the train station you enter the old town through the Green Gate. Around the main square there are magnificent buildings from several periods: late Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism. Not far from the place where the Chrudimka river flows into the Elbe is the Château, which has still strong traits of a castle, and its facade is decorated with sgraffito. Its entrance gate opens onto the city. Also worth seeing is the East Bohemian Theatre (Východočeské Divadlo) from the Art Nouveau period.
Pardubice in Ostböhmen, zu deutsch Pardubitz, ist eine Stadt an der Elbe, die ab hier flussabwärts schiffbar ist. Vom Bahnhof kommend betritt man die Altstadt durch das Grüne Tor. Um den dahinterliegenden Pernsteinplatz liegen prächtige Bürgerhäuser aus mehreren Epochen: Spätgotik, Renaissance, Barock und Klassizisimus. Unweit davon fließt das Flüsschen Chrudimka in die Elbe; dort ist auch das Schloss, das immer noch starke Züge einer Burg aufweist und dessen Fassade mit Sgraffiti verziert sind. Sein Zugangstor öffnet sich zur Stadt. Sehenswert ist auch das Ostböhmische Theater (Východočeské divadlo) aus der Zeit des Jugendstils.
Pardubice en Bohemia Oriental es una ciudad a orillas del Elba que es navegable aguas abajo desde aquí. Llegando de la estación se entra en el casco viejo por la Puerta Verde. Alrededor de la plaza mayor están magníficos edificios de varias épocas: gótico tardío, renacimiento, barroco y neoclásico. No muy lejos del lugar donde el río Chrudimka desemboca en el Elba está el palacio que tiene aún fuertes rasgos de un castillo, y su fachada está decorada con esgrafiados. Su puerta de entrada se abre hacia la ciudad. También vale la pena visitar el Teatro de Bohemia Oriental (Východočeské Divadlo) de la época del modernismo (Art Nouveau).
Pardubice, en Bohême de l'Est, est une ville sur l'Elbe qui est navigable en aval à partir d'ici. En venant de la gare, vous entrez dans la vieille ville par la Porte Verte. Autour de la place principale, il ya de magnifiques bâtiments de plusieurs périodes: tard gothique, renaissance, baroque et néo-classicisme. Pas loin de l'endroit où la rivière Chrudimka se jette dans l'Elbe, c'est le Château, qui a encore de fortes traits d'un château, et sa façade est ornée de sgraffites. Sa porte d'entrée s'ouvre sur la ville. A voir aussi le Théâtre Bohême de l'Est (Východočeské Divadlo) de l'époque de l'Art Nouveau.
[Pardubice ve východních Čechách je město na řece Labi, která je splavná po proudu od zde. Již od vlakového nádraží zadáte staré město přes Zelené brány. Kolem náměstí jsou nádherné budovy z několika období: pozdě gotické, renesanční, barokní a neoklasicismus. Nedaleko od místa, kde řeka Chrudimka vlévá do Labe je zámek, který má stále silné rysy hradu a jeho fasáda je zdobena sgrafity. Jeho vstupní brána se otevírá do města. Také stojí za to vidět, je Východočeské divadlo (Východočeské Divadlo) z období secese.]

Hranice, Czech Republic
There are three towns called Hranice in the Czech Republic. This one is in Moravia, in the east and in German was called Weißkirchen or Mährisch Weißkirchen when it was part of the Austro Hungarian Empire. My arrival was by accident, it was part of a jouney, a route I was following and I decided to stop and see. However it is well worth planning to go there. The main square is dominated by an enormous church but the view from the river rather than being dominated by a church, is dominated by a synagogue which survived the Nazi occupation by having the fortune to be designated a museum in 1940.
The town grew in the nineteenth century thanks to small industry, in particular the production of water pumps. The town had the largest factory for water pumps in Austria-Hungary.
The first Jews came at the beginning of the 17th century, receiving in 1637 the right for a self-governed Jewish quarter, around the present Janáčkova street (previously called Jew's street - ut. Židovská). Besides those 17 houses, they were not allowed to purchase houses elsewhere. The community reached 802 people in 1857, which was one eighth of the population of the town.
You can see more about the town in the film!

Traditional puppets perform in Prague
(28 Nov 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4068330
LEAD IN
UNESCO officials are to meet in Ethiopia to discuss adding unique cultural traditions to their Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
The Czech Republic and Slovakia have united to propose that the traditional puppetry of the two neighbouring countries be added to the list.
STORY-LINE:
The audience laugh and clap at the antics on the tiny stage during a traditional puppet show in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Above the stage the puppet masters are at work, twirling and pulling strings and adding the voices to the marionettes (puppets) below to bring the wooden toys to life.
It is a form of entertainment that has appealed to children for generations.
The Czech puppetry tradition dates back to the 18th century and is practised across the country.
Now UNESCO will consider adding Czech and Slovak puppetry to the global list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The two countries formed Czechoslovakia but split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993.
Today, in addition to the professional puppet theatres, there are some 3,000 amateur ones in towns and villages all across the country, with the heartland in eastern Bohemia, where a renowned puppet museum is located in the town of Chrudim (about 100 kilometres (62 miles) east of Prague.
The town has hosted an annual festival of amateur puppet theater since 1951, which is considered the be the oldest one of its kind in the world.
It was first developed by travelling puppeteers who presented their shows with big marionettes nicely carved and beautifully painted.
Modern Czech puppetry has its beginning at early 20th century when the first puppet exhibition in Prague, in 1911, sparked a huge interest in the art.
Simona Chalupova is the Director of the Chrudim Puppetry Museum.
At the beginning of the 20th century an exhibition (of puppetry) attracted the attention of young painters, they could see traditional marionettes on display that resembled humans, but at the same time they perceived it as kinetic sculpture and felt like trying to make it (puppets) and that was I think extremely enriching for the puppetry.
They were impressed by the quality of craftsmanship and discovered a new field of artistic impression for them.
Their contribution in the decades to come was a huge and enriching boost for the tradition.
The puppets are crafted by hand, beginning life as a block of wood.
Gradually a human form takes shape, in the hands of a skilled artist like Jiri Bares, the Puppet Maker at Drak Puppet Theatre in Hradec Kralove.
I think that a puppet is an excellent mediator that shows the world of adults to children and children react well to it and perceive it differently from a normal theatre played by adults to them. So I think that it is fun for children to watch it and it is fun for the adults to play for them. And that's the reason why I think there are so many people involved in the puppet theatre at the amateur as well as professional level in this country.
Lenka Jaklova is the originator of the UNESCO proposal.
She says puppetry speaks to children's imaginations.
It's a wonderful discipline which develops imagination, which develops creativity, it is about ordinary and extraordinary things.
UNESCO'S Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage will meet from 28 November to 2 December in Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia.

The Czech Republic (officially known by its short name, Czechia) is a small landlocked country in Central Europe, situated southeast of Germany and bordering Austria to the south, Poland to the north and Slovakia to the southeast.
The Czech Republic is not a geographically large country, but it has a rich and eventful history. From time immemorial, Czechs, Germans, Jews and Slovaks, as well as Italian stonemasons and stucco workers, French tradesmen and deserters from Napoleon’s army, have all lived and worked here, all influencing one another. For centuries they jointly cultivated their land, creating works that still command respect and admiration today. It is thanks to their inventiveness and skill that this small country is graced with hundreds of ancient castles, monasteries and stately mansions, and even entire towns that give the impression of being comprehensive artifacts. The Czech Republic contains a vast amount of architectural treasure, as well as beautiful forests and mountains to match.
Regions:
The Czech Republic has 14 political regions (kraj) which can be grouped together into eight general regions:
Central Bohemia (Prague, Kutná Hora, Karlštejn)
The metropolitan centre of the Czech Republic with its capital city, known for its river valleys, extinct volcanic mounds, and green pastures.
West Bohemia (Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně, Františkovy Lázně)
A forested and mountainous region, home of the pilsner beer, numerous spas towns, and the Bohemian Forest (Šumava).
North Bohemia (Liberec, Ústí nad Labem, Děčín, Bohemian Paradise)
A mountainous and coal mining region with a strong industrial past, and the location of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) and parts of the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše). Site to numerous winter resorts.
East Bohemia (Hradec Králové, Pardubice, Litomyšl, Špindlerův Mlýn)
Main location of the highly-popular Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) and the Czech Republic's highest peak, Sněžka.
South Bohemia (České Budějovice, Český Krumlov, Třeboň)
Hilly, forested landscapes, and the source of the Vltava River. A highly popular area for rafters in the summer.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands (Telč, Třebíč, Žďár nad Sázavou)
A very green and uneven region, considered the geographic heart of the country.
North Moravia (Ostrava, Olomouc, Opava, Litovel)
A highly industrial region which includes Czech Silesia, although dotted with beautiful hills and mountains.
South Moravia (Brno, Znojmo, Zlín, Lednice-Valtice)
Well-known for its rural and slow pace of life, warm summers, rolling vineyards, and its potent plum brandy (slivovice).
Cities:
Prague (Praha) — the country's capital and largest city, and one of Europe's premier tourist destinations. Its large and beautiful historical core is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Brno — the largest city in Moravia and the republic's second city, with several excellent museums, an accessible old town, a stunning cathedral, and the annual Grand Prix.
České Budějovice – known also as Budweis, an attractive city in South Bohemia with an impressive old town square.
Český Krumlov — a stunning medieval and Renaissance town in South Bohemia, home to the country's second largest palace, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Karlovy Vary — a historic spa resort and the republic's largest, especially popular with German and Russian tourists, and the site of the country's most prestigious film festival.
Kutná Hora — a historical medieval town in Central Bohemia, home to St. Barbara's Church, old silver mines, and the Sedlec Ossuary, decorated with tens of thousands of human remains. Its attractions are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Olomouc — a riverside university town with a thousand-year history, and the second largest historical centre in the Czech Republic after Prague.
Ostrava — a vibrant and sometimes gritty blue collar city with a strong subculture, and a long history of coal mining and steel production.
Opava — the former capital of Silesia.
Pilsen (Plzeň) — home of the original Pilsner Urquell beer and the Škoda Works, and the largest city in West Bohemia.
Telč — a perfectly preserved Renaissance town centre surrounded by shallow man-made lakes. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Zlín - Beautiful example of functionalistic architecture inspired by garden cities of Le Corbusier and rebuilt by Baťa shoemaker family. The town is set in small hills, nature, zoo and spa literally behind a hill.

Tschechien Dampffahrt mit Schmalspur 2016
Bahntourismus verbunden mit Radtourismus entwickelt sich immer mehr zum Erfolgsrezept in Europa. Ein besonders gutes Beispiel ist die schmalspurige Bahn (760 mm wie die Ybbstalbahn) , welche in Jindrichuv Hradec seinen Ausgang nimmt. Der Erfolg macht es möglich, dass statt die einst nur am Sonntag durchgeführten Dampffahrten nun in den Sommermonaten täglich, ja täglich, geführt werden. Abfahrt immer um 10:44. Und jetzt müssen schon so viele Personen-Waggons und Radwaggons angehängt werden, dass bereits zusätzliche Diesellokomotiven mithelfen, die Züge fahrplangenau abzuwickeln. Karl Piaty hat Dr. Günter Schuhfried eine solche Fahrt zum Geburtstag geschenkt, und am 9. Juli 2016 war es soweit. Mit Dampf auf schmaler Spur in Tschechien. Überall wo der Dampfzug vorbeikommt, winken die erfreuten Menschen zu. Und Fahrräder werden ein- und ausgeladen, besonders für Kinder und Senioren ein tolles Angebot. Diesmal stand aber auch das Maskottchen der Citybahn - FYbbs als Lokführermaskottchen im Führerstand. Und natürlich durften auch Piaty Wuchteln auf dieser 5 stündigen Fahrt nicht fehlen. Eine Festschrift zu 100 Jahre Ybbstalbahn wurde überreicht und Karl Piaty fuhr auch auf der Lokomotive mit. Am nächsten Tag gab es zusätzlich eine romantische Bootsfahrt auf der Moldau. Tourismus wie er sein sollte, aber ohne Bahn wird man solche Kombi-Angebote natürlich nicht machen können. Schade drum, eine vertane Chance für das Ybbstal. Und diese tschechischen Eisenbahner haben sich viele Gäste verdient. Da die Dampfzüge oft ausgebucht sind, ist eine Vorbestellung (Reservierung) nötig. Wern nicht tschechisch spricht, kann sich tel bei Herrn PhDr. Pavel Matlas 00420 775 679 683 melden, der hilft perfekt weiter. Internet WEB: JHMD jhmd.cz
Es geht sich an einem Tag aus, diese tolle Fahrt ohne Übernachtung zu machen. Abfahrt Waidhofen 7 Uhr mit PKW - über Heidenreichstein nach Jichindruv Hradec, Ankunft ca. 10 Uhr. Abfahrt Dampfzug täglich im Sommer 10:44. - Rückankunft um ca. 16:50. Heimfahrt mit PKW - cirka 8 Uhr wieder in Waidhofen. Aber: Eine Übernachtung macht alles noch viel schöner - Das Hotel Concertino - moderne Anlage im Stadtzentrum mit Garage, mit bestem Essen und tollen Zimmern: Das von Karl Piaty bewohnte Zimmer sieht man gleich am Anfang der Homepage des Hotels - man gönnt sich ja sonst nichts.
