The Czech street (Čára) is one of the most famous and most important streets in Brno. It was named after the center of Czech cultural life at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. It runs from the junction with Žerotínův náměstí and Brandlova Street to Svoboda Square. Its entire length lies in the Brno-střed district.

One of the most important streets crossing is Joštova Street. The Czech Republic crosses the Solniční Street, where Veselá Street and Jakubská Street are separated from Česká Street. In the direction of Svoboda Square there is a short turn of the street towards Veselé Street - Hidden and Central Street. In the section from the crossroads with Joštova Street to the mouth of Svoboda Square, it has the character of a pedestrian zone.

In the short northern part of the street, between the crossroads with Brandlova and Joštova Street, there are tram stops 3, 11 and 12 in the direction of Veveří, resp. center. There are also named stops of the important Brno transport hub along the street - besides the already mentioned stops directly on Ceska Street, there is also a trolley bus stop at Brandlova Street (lines 32, 34 and 36) and tram stops in Joštova street (lines 4, 5 and 6) on the Moravské náměstí (line 9 + bus lines 81 and 82). Automobile traffic is minimal and is more of a supply.

History

The first mention of the street dates back to the 14th century, when it was named after Letorum. The name originated from the misunderstanding of the original street name after the incoming colonists, known in the Middle Ages of Laet, and the subsequent derivation from the Latin expression laetus (cheerful, joyful) - the Czech equivalent is Veselá Street. Under this name, both today's Česká Street and the Veselá street, which is older, were hidden. In the 17th century, the name of the street from the Veselé street, the name Neue, or the Vordere Flöhlichergasse (Czech New, or also the Front Veselá) is different. In 1867 it was renamed the Austrian Crown Prince and son of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Rudolf at Rudolfsgasse (Rudolfov or Rudolf). In 1918 he acquired his name today Česká ulice, according to the Czech cultural life around the bookstore of Joži Barvic and the editors of Lidové noviny, located in the street. An exception is the period of German occupation between 1939 and 1945, when the German Tschechische Gasse was added to the Czech name.
