Pilsner Urquell brewery, Pilsen, Plzeň, Czech Republic, Europe
Pilsner Urquell Brewery is a brewery in Plzeň, the Bohemian city which is known as the birthplace of the Pilsener beer style in general, and for Pilsner Urquell, since 1898 the name of the main product of this brewery. Both Plzeňský Prazdroj and Pilsner Urquell can be roughly translated into English as the Fountainhead at Pilsen or the original source of Pilsner. The brewery was founded in 1839 by both local German-speaking and Czech-speaking citizens as Bürgerbrauerei (citizens' brewery, later translated to Měšťanský pivovar in Czech). The first beer was brewed in 1842 by Bavarian brewer Josef Groll. In 1859, “Pilsner Bier” was registered as a brand name at the local Chamber of Commerce and Trade. In 1869, a competitor was founded as a joint stock company, later known as Gambrinus. In 1898 the Urquell (Prazdroj) trade mark was created, to underline the claim of being the older, original source of Pilsner beer. In 1918, when the Austrian Empire ceased to exist, Czechs took over control, and soon began renaming cities, companies and products alike to give them Czech-language names. In 1946, communists took over, nationalising the remaining two breweries, Měšťansky pivovar (the Citizens' brewery), and Plzeňské akciové pivovary (PAP, the stock company), merging them into the single Plzeňské pivovary (Pilsen breweries). After the fall of communism in late 1989, the brewery was turned into a public share company, then renamed in 1994 after the Czech name of their famous beer, Plzeňský Prazdroj. In 1999, they started to merge with Pivovar Radegast a.s. and Pivovar Velké Popovice a.s.. The brewery has been part of the SABMiller group of companies (at the time South African Breweries) since 1999. It has been the largest exporter of beer produced in the Czech Republic since 2000 when production surpassed that of Budějovický Budvar. A brewery museum (Pivovarské muzeum) has been set up near the brewery in the authentic medieval brewing house with malt house, which has been declared a cultural monument. It includes the late Gothic malt house, kiln, original drying shed and two-level laying-down cellars with ice-cellar, which are hewn from the Pilsen substrata. The exhibition covers Pilsen's most ancient history, the development of crafts, the emergence and growth of the guilds, the beginnings and development of brewing, malting, the craft of cooper, haulage and catering. The tour includes a replica of a pub from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and a laboratory from the second half of the 19th century. The city walls have been opened with an example of the cultivation of barley and hops. The museum has become an anchor for the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

Ústí nad Labem from above, Czech Republic from Travel with Iva Jasperson
Hello everyone...
Ústí nad Labem was mentioned as a trading center as early as 993. In the second half of the 13th century, King Otakar II of Bohemia invited German settlers into the country and granted them a German form of municipal incorporation, thereby founding the city proper. In 1423, as King of Bohemia, Sigismund pledged the town to Elector Frederick I of Meißen, who occupied it with a Saxon garrison. It was besieged by the Hussites in 1426: a German army of 70 000 was sent to its relief but the 25 000 besiegers defeated them amid great slaughter on 16 June; the next day, they stormed and razed the town. It was left derelict for three years before rebuilding began in 1429.
Ústí was again burned down in 1583 and was sacked by the Swedes in 1639 amid the Thirty Years' War. It also suffered grievously during the Seven Years' War and was near the 1813 Battle of Kulm between France and the alliance of Austria, Prussia, and Russia during the Napoleonic Wars.[3] As late as 1830, its population was only 1400.
As part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, it was eventually incorporated into Austria and heavily industrialized over the 19th century. After the Compromise of 1867, it headed the Aussig District, one of Austrian Bohemia's 94 District Commissions (Bezirkshauptmannschaften). In the 1870s, with only 11 000 people, it was a major producer of woolen goods, linen, paper, ships, and chemicals and carried on a large trade in grain, fruit, mineral water, lumber, and coal. By 1900, large-scale immigration had boosted the population to nearly 40 000, mostly German, and added glassworking and stone to its trades. The local river port became the busiest in the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire, surpassing even the seaport in Trieste.[citation needed]
The factories of Aussig—as it was then known—were an early center of the National Socialism (Nazi) movement. The German Workers' Party in Austria (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei in Österreich) was founded on 15 November 1903 and later gave rise to the Sudeten German Party and Austrian National Socialism. Their books continued to be printed in Ústí even after the formation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. During the 1930 census, Ústí nad Labem was home to 43 793 residents: 32 878 considered German, 8 735 Czech or Slovak, 222 Jews, 16 Russians, and 11 Hungarians. Ústí was ceded to Nazi Germany with the rest of the Sudetenland in October 1938 under the terms of the Munich Agreement. On New Year's Eve of that year, the Nazis burnt down the local synagogue; a meat factory was later raised in its place. The Jewish community in Ústí nad Labem was mostly exterminated over the course of World War II amid the Holocaust. In April 1945, the city was severely bombed by the Allies.
Under the terms of the Potsdam Conference and the Beneš decrees, the city was restored to Czechoslovakia and most of its German population expelled after Germany's defeat in World War II. In May 1948, the Communist government passed a new constitution declaring a people's republic. Communism continued until the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall set off a series of events which are now known as the Velvet Revolution. Today, Ústí nad Labem is a major industrial city of the Czech Republic with substantial chemical, metallurgical, textile, food, and machine tool industries.

Čkyně synagoga
V sobotu 21. prosince jsem navštívil koncert vimperského pěveckého sboru Mír v restaurované čkyňské synagoze. Neměl jsem s sebou nic, čím bych událost dokumentoval, ale aspoň jsem v počítači vyštrachal video z letošního podzimu, jež zaznamenává, jaká je dnešní podoba synagogy. Věřím, že bude od jara roku 2014 vyhledávaným místem pro rozjímání všech, místem kulturních událostí.

Pevnost trailer
Vítěz soutěže českých dokumentů na MFDF v Jihlavě 2012.
Zdá se to bizarní, ale dvacet let po rozpadu Sovětského svazu existuje stát, který se stále potýká s živým dědictvím komunismu. Stát, jehož existenci téměř nikdo neuznává. Stát o 500.000 obyvatelích různých národností, kteří mají tři až čtyři různé pasy, aby se z něj vůbec mohli dostat někam ven. Stát, kterému donedávna vládl prezident Smirnov v saku s ustřiženými rukávy.
Do této podivuhodné, temné země se vydávají dva mladí čeští dokumentaristé, aby zde natočili poetický příběh o člověku, jeho vztahu ke svobodě a také o jeho touze uniknout modernímu světu do ideálního univerza, v němž se o něj stát skutečně postará.
Film je jedním z nejzajímavějších dokumentů poslední doby. Má v sobě lehký humor i silné okamžiky. Vztahuje se sice k tisíce kilometrů vzdálené zemi na okraji Evropy, ale jeho téma je univerzální.
