Copy of a letter from Redaktenre Vladimir K r n & i F , the "Lidové Toviny" in Prlnn. I have no need to look through all the road traffic of Brno, since ea has not yet been published and the sides have been forbidden to bring any note about the unnamed routes; and a disclosure through the whole city kekna Gross-Brünn - would take too much time. Referring to wnser conversation in Prague and to your today's telephonic invitation, however, I send Thnen a small selection from my next Uaiung in the city center - sinige der Hauptatrasen and the most striking points of the city, soveit three Uabennung, bz. Your new Nenen really very evil lut under the tachechishen ethnicity matters; I also convinced myself that also very ernate Germans - and not the worst - can only shake their heads about it. fie arrive at the Brno station and full into the city. Since he passed through the Rermann Coeringstrasse / former Sesaryketrase Adolf Hitlerplatz / former Freiheitsplatz/ Since one has to honor zvei Nänner, who have taken themselves into the new history of Suropas ain. Vun sber goes on the Rauptstrasse - and it is called Kirehengasse -früker Fasingasse / . r. In the post-war period, Alois Rašin has bacanatically saved Czech food from inflation, through an ainschnei dende Cperation, which had a new eg. ls, Germans, as many Czechs, have also enjoyed their advantage. Well, Eirchengasse is a bit better than the Urapringian name of ie.March - Licntenetein- strasse, which reminded us of Liechtenstein's Dragoners who used to drive our ancestors of the Cage Reformation into the Jesuit Masses; but Kirehengasse is only the transition from the Adolr Hitlerpletz to the Emperor Josefsplatz. And there begins the Capusin's tomb. Emperor Josefsplatz was formerly Lażanský Square. And Lalanský iat an old Czech sex - free Bauarn, later an noble family. Leopold Lazansky, after which the Brdnner Square was named, a popular and well-deserved Ztatthalter of Moravia. was not far from here beginat the lusstrasse. Of course, Bie is called andars today: Klisabethstrasse, lies the Blessed Empress, whose husband could not live unwittingly, ebanfalls. His mame /Franz Josefstrasse/ adorns the former French road today. It would have been difficult for the Septenber to afflict this name. But, wasn't there any more deserving Lann than the "ending Kabsburger of the certainly not-forgotten wheel of the Duce? And don't they believe that the Mame H u a - he himself had just as little to do with the lussite wars, vie with the chisma- more blessed, ala the empress lisabeth, since ever Hus prepared the eg for Luther himself and paved sxgkax? Vas of the Franapsian stress applies, also applies fir den Franzens 3 barg, who formerly called Denisperk, And Denis var ianerhinnein Bistoriker. Franz I arinnert also ian today's Deutechen rather on the separation of Cesterreich from Rönisehen Keiche of the German nation. The Czechic alley is again called Rudolfagesse nech deal Kronprinsen, with which the crypt is intended to Adolf Hitlarplatz. Tecnechische Gaase has been the same Gesse since time immemorial, where every day techechian hourly protests took place. Now she should get her old name again - it would be ionernin etuad. But the authority sill in advance know caine clothech casse. I have already told Thnen what peychological circulation these - if not intentional - have, in any case, senr untaktisehenName changes to the techechic population of Brtnn. It is assumed that here one strives - on the German side of Brno - nothing of the protectorate decrees to know the FOhrer and leichskenslers, but to begin there, where the overthrow period began iced - at the infamous Habsburgera.
