Příbram (IPA2|ˈpr̝̊iːbram; _de. Pibrans, earlier "Freiberg in Böhmen") is a city in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic with a population of 35,147. The city is located in the Brdy foothills 60 kilometers south-west of Prague, the capital city of the state. The city is well known for its mining history, now finding a new look after its economy restructuring.

The city is the third biggest in the Central Bohemian Region (behind Kladno and Mladá Boleslav) and it is a natural administrative and cultural center of the south-western part of the region, although it also tends to be in large influenced by the economy and life of Prague.

Wide-known pilgrimage site Svatá Hora is located just above the city, the Mining Museum Příbram (including the communist labor camp Vojna memorial) is the other tourism attraction.

History

From legends to Middle Ages

Several legends mentioning Příbram in the early history of Czech statehood are mentioned in the Czech Chronicle ( _cz. Kronika česká) written by Václav Hájek z Libočan in first half of 16th century. The legends talk about princess Libuše’s prophecy and destroying of Březové Hory mines by Horymír of Neumětely, both stories depicting the silver mining in region.

Hájek also explains the name of the city, although his etymology is now believed to be partially fancied, the basics of it is probably true, as the city name is derived from the name of a person, probably the site owner.

Since 1216 (the first remark about Příbram ever), the Příbram holding has been owned by Prague bishops and soon received its walls. The city castle was built under Prague archbishop Arnošt of Pardubice. During Hussite wars in the 15th century, Příbram stood on the reformation side, but was captured and pillaged four times by Catholic aristocracy.

Archbishop Zdeněk Zajíc of Hasenburk gave Příbram town privileges, which were confirmed by king Jiří z Poděbrad in 1463, and in 1496 Příbram was named town by king Ladislaus II, as Příbram was passed over to Czech King’s hands. The economic state of city however worsened, the rulers often impledged the city and temporary masters did not care of the city development.

Modern history

"See also: Mining in Příbram"

Available information about silver and iron mining in Příbram are extended as mining books starting from late 16th century survived to present days. In 1579 Rudolf II named Příbram “Royal Mining City” to promote its reputation. The Thirty Years' War had large impact on Příbram, lowering the number of its citizens and causing violent recatholicization that was supported by the growing importance of Svatá Hora, nearby pilgrimage site.

Since the 17th century the mining boom was followed with the city growth. The city however gave majority of its mining profit share over in favor of central Vienna government, which soon slowed the development of the city when the silver mining was on its top at the end of the 18th century.

Five major deep-mines are built in 18th century in Březové Hory near Příbram, starting with the St. Adalbert mine ( _cz. Vojtěšský důl). The Příbram mining district became one of the most modern in Europe in 19th century, which remained true until the 1920s. Příbram built educational sites and became the seat of central mining authorities and the mining academy. The St. Mary mine ( _cz. Mariánský důl) fire in 1892 was a large-scale catastrophe, as 319 miners died. Although the real importance of Příbram mines declined after 1900, the city’s reputation as the educational and cultural centre remained high.

Region with strong partisan resistance was around Příbram during the World War II. Several prominent citizens participated in the resistance, many of them were killed by Nazi occupiers. Student Antonín Stočes, his father and Příbram’s gymnasium director Josef Lukeš, were executed in Tábor in the 1942 days following the assassination of Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich. Their story was idealized in Jan Drda’s fiction "Vyšší princip" ( _en. Higher Principle). General Richard Tesařík, [ [http://www.rozhlas.cz/wwii/lide_csr/_zprava/138293 Richard Tesařík in the Czech Radio web article] (in Czech)] the Hero of the Soviet Union, or legionary Alois Laub, leader of the military resistance group Oliver, executed in Brandenburg in 1945, were born in Příbram.

At the beginning of May 1945, Příbram spontaneously rose up against the occupiers, the Czech authority took formally the power, but the Wehrmacht unit threatened with declaration of martial law. After negotiations, the city was liberated by the Soviet partisan brigade "Death of Fascism" ( _cs. Smrt fašismu, _ru. "Смерть фашизма") led by Captain Yevgeny Antonovich Olesinsky. Although the majority of German forces had left the city before the liberation itself, Příbram’s surroundings are said to be the place where the last shots of the World War II were fired. German troops trying to leave Soviet zone over the demarcation line were met by partisan units and eventually fought Soviet Army, General von Pückler agreed to a surrender 12 May 1945, four days after the V-E Day.

In 1950, the cities of Příbram and Březové Hory were merged.

The last epoch of Příbram mining occurred since the 1950s, when the district was opened again for uranite mining, several mines around the city were opened. The industry was included into a program of penal labour that Communist Czechoslovak government used for persecution of regime objectors. Labor camps Příbram-Vojna and Příbram-Brody were run there 1949-1951, holding up to 800 detainees. [ [http://www.totalita.cz “Totalita.cz”] (in Czech)] The new city quarter was built for more than a half of citizens; Březové Hory and several villages (eg. Zdaboř) became part of city, which population overcame 40,000 citizens.

Located near to the Brdy military area, Příbram was an important locality during the 1968 Occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact forces. The army command in Příbram was labeled "focus of contrarevolution" in the Czechoslovak Army as it did not cooperate the occupation forces and harbored the Czechoslovak Television during its independent broadcasting. The rioting of Příbram-Bytíz crime prisoners and the strike of Příbram miners were the other major events related to the August 1968 invasion.

The 1989 Velvet Revolution influenced the city life as much as the mines closure.

Politics and administration

Příbram city assembly is the highest authority of the city. It is elected during communal election every four years and has 25 members. The assembly elects the City council of six members including the mayor and two vice-mayors. As former county ( _cz. okres) city, Příbram now has a status of the city with extended agency ( _cz. obec s rozšířenou působností).

All city council seats are now occupied by the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD) members and the SNK European Democrats (SNK-ED), their minority coalition was enabled by the votes of Communists. Josef Řihák (ČSSD) is the current city mayor.

Příbram area of almost 13 km² is divided into 18 city quarters, nine central numbered using roman numerals, the others are usually the villages added to the city before in the second half of the 20th century like Brod, Bytíz, Jerusalem, Lazec, Žežice and others.

Elections in Příbram

"See also: Elections in the Czech Republic"

The last time the city council was elected in October 2006 during the post parliamentary election period when there was no state government with Parliament’s confidence and the situation was highly confrontational between the two strongest Czech parties – the Civic Democrats ODS and Social Democrats ČSSD.

Both parties strengthened their position in the Příbram council for the second elections in a row, while the Christian Democrats of the former mayor Josef Vacek lost both two remaining seats, Vacek himself did not act as the party leader, but he was unsuccessfully running for re-election.

The result gave the Civic Democrats a chance to continue their coalition with the Social Democrats or to close a coalition deal with the SNK European Democrats, but they were not able to do so. After two weeks of negotiations, the minority coalition of Social Democrats and SNK European Democrats was approved by the Communists' votes.

Since the 1989 Velvet Revolution, the free parliamentary elections have been held five times in the Czech Republic. In 1990, the Civic Forum received clear majority of 50 to 57 per cent of votes in Příbram. In 1992, rightist coalition of Civic Democratic Party and Christian Democratic Party ("KDS") won in Příbram with a total of 25 to 34.8%. Both times the deputies in three parliament chambers were elected.

Social Democrat Zdeněk Vojíř won the seat in 1996 in the second round, but he lost the seat to Civic Democrat Jaromír Volný in 2002. The results in city itself were comparable to the overall district results both times.

Economy

Příbram’s economy was determined by the mining industry and supplying companies for hundreds of years. At the end of the 1980s, when the mining was slowly derogating, the basic Příbram corporations included the Uranium Mines ( _cz. Uranové doly full name Czech State Uranium Industry _cz. Český státní uranový průmysl), the Ore Mines ( _cz. Rudné doly) and suppliers like ZRUP ( _cz. Základna rozvoje uranového průmyslu _en. Base of Uranium Industry Development) and others. Also the Hamiro company was located in Příbram,

After 1989, the economy restructured because of the closure of mines and privatization. The nation-wide important branch office of state enterprise Diamo is the successor of the Uranium Mines, the office is named the Administration of Uranium Deposits ( _cz. Správa uranových ložisek). Several of the supplying companies continue their activities under new owners. The list of the Příbram’s biggest companies follows:

* ZAT, a. s. – production of control systems for power engineering and industry;
* ZRUP, a. s. [The abbreviation a.s. ( _cz. akciová společnost) stands for joint stock company, abbreviation s. r. o. ( _cz. spolčnost s ručením omezeným) stands for limited liability company] – prefab buildings production;
* DISA Industries, s.r.o. – production of shot blasting equipment;
* Kovohutě Příbram nástupnická, a. s. – recycling and production of lead and precious metals;

The District Economic Chamber Příbram was found in 1993.

Despite the development of Příbram enterprises, the unemployment in city and close surroundings stays high on 8.8 per cent [ [http://www.pribramskydenik.cz/pribram/zpravodajstvi_pb/ZM20060724000002.html Příbramský deník article] in Czech] in July 2006 – higher than in other parts of former Příbram district and over average in the Central Bohemian Region.

Culture

Thanks to high level of education and culture life, Příbram was nicknamed Brdy Athens ( _cs. Podbrdské Athény) at the end of the 19th century. The city’s culture was then largely influenced by the mining industry, which went on until the late 20th century.Mining life was described by poets and writers Fráňa Kučera, Quido Maria Vyskočil and František Gellner, who lived or studied in Příbram. Many books by Příbram's most famous writer, Jan Drda, were inspired by Příbram and he used the names of the city's neighbouring villages in his tales. Some of the stories in his "Němá barikáda" ( _en. Silent Barricade) have their origin in Příbram (especially "Vyšší princip" – see Modern History) while his "Městečko na dlani" ( _en. City on Palm) describes Příbram directly, although reality is distorted there by having a river flowing through the city, which is named "Rukapáň" ( _en. God’s Hand) in the book.

The city library was opened in 1900.

The theatre in Příbram has a long history thanks to a long tradition of theatricals. During the struggle to build the permanent theatre stage, the plays had to be performed in different halls for a long time, especially in the Sokolovna, the hall of Příbram Sokol. In 1959 the House of Culture ( _cs. Kulturní dům) was built, which hosts the Příbram theatre and includes a cinema hall (the only other cinema is the open-air stage, while two pre-1989 more cinema-halls were closed). The first cinema productions were however held in Příbram as early as in 1914. The Příbram theatre is a permanent scene with a professional ensemble, its repertory is enriched by regular on-tour performances by Prague’s and other cities ensembles. The reputation of Příbram ensemble is derived not only from departure of several actors to bigger ensembles, but also from the nation-wide successful spectacle of "Hrdý Budžes" ( _en. Proud Budžes), a comedy play after book of Příbram born Irena Dousková. Barbora Hrzánová won the Thálie award as the best Czech female stage actress of the 2004 year.

Musical life of Příbram is connected to the name of Antonín Dvořák, who had his summerhouse in near Vysoká u Příbramě and visited Příbram often. In 1969, the Antonín Dvořák Music Festival was founded in Příbram, which has been organized annually till now, bringing domestic as well as foreign musicians and ensembles to the city and its neighbourhood. Příbram has its own amateur philharmonic orchestra, the Příbram Big Band still helds its concerts, miners‘ bands perform during annual miners‘festivals, the newest form of musical performances was brought to Příbram with the Ensemble of Svatá Hora Horn-Blowers.

The most important form of the city’s musical activities was the choir singing. Starting with the Lumír-Dobromila association, founded and directed by composer, choirmaster and choral director Bohumil Fidler for fifteen years, and continuing as the Příbram Mixed Choir, the ensemble made a great impact on several generations of Příbram citizens. The most important choir leaders were Antonín Vepřek and his son, Vladimír. In 1939, Antonín Vepřek founded Příbram Children Choir, which is one of the oldest children choruses in the Czech Republic. Several children choruses are organized in Příbram elementary and art schools, Příbram hosts annual international show of children choruses.

Popular music is played in several clubs in Příbram, with the Junior club the oldest of them. Of the Příbram music groups, the E!E punk rock band is the most important.

Miners in Příbram used to earn more money by handicrafts (embroidery, woodcarving, painting etc.), often on good artistic level. The Christmas cribs-making ( _cz. betlém) lives till today, the museum collects also several mechanical models of mine. Of the professional artists, painter and graphic artist Karel Hojden, pupil of Max Švabinský was the most important. The world-known photographer of the first half of the 20th century František Drtikol was born in Příbram. The city gallery, which now seats in "Zámeček-Ernestinum", former Prague archbishop's residence, is named after him and offers permanent exhibition of his works.

The Příbram museum was founded in 1886 and after several changes of form it is now run by the Central-Bohemian Region and named Mining Museum Příbram. It is the biggest museum of its kind in the Czech Republic, it contains the objects of historical mine with old headstock, miner’s house, drift with a mining train, exhibition of mining history, geological collection and others.

Education

Příbram was the site of the Mining University, which tradition goes on till now, but the institution was moved to Ostrava in 1945. "For more information about the university see below."

With the removal of the Mining University, Příbram lost the status of university city. In the 1990s, the city authorities aspired for the status again. In 2005 the College of European and Regional Studies ( _cz. Vysoká škola evropských a regionálních studií, VŠERS) with seat in České Budějovice opened its affiliate in Příbram, with 30 students in the courses. [College of European and Regional Studies [http://www.vsers.cz/zpravodajstvi.php news webpage] (in Czech)]

There were news of another university department opened in Příbram in 2006 autumn, specialized on correspondence course of physical therapy. [ [http://zpravy.idnes.cz/mfdnes.asp?v=256&r=mfstredcech&c=616591 interview] with VŠERS director V. Kříž]

High schools offer in Příbram includes two gymnasiums, technical school, business academy, medical school and training college. Gymnasium Příbram was founded 1871 and serves as a general educational propedeutics institutions for applicants for university studies. The Pod Svatou Horou gymnasium was founded in the 1990s. The technical school was derived from the preliminary courses of the Mining University, so called Mining School, founded already in 1851. In 2006 the school had 564 students. [Technical school Příbram [http://www.spspb.cz/histHist.htm history webpage] (in Czech)]

Seven elementary schools are in Příbram, six of them with traditional educational program (the number was reduced by two in the 1990s). The remaining one, found in 1991, stands on the Waldorf education program and it has also opened its own high school.

The city has 13 kindergartens and runs also two musical and art schools. [City of Příbram official site [http://www.pribram-city.cz/odbor.php?vid=93&nad=000001000002000044 education webpage] (in Czech)]

Mining University in Příbram (1894-1945)

"(see also Technical University of Ostrava)"

Mining education in Příbram dates from the beginning of the 19th century. The mining high school was founded in 1851 and it was changed to Mining Academy in 1865. It was then the only mining educational institution in the Czech lands. The academy struggled in the shadow of Leoben academy, which repeatedly obtained its privileges in advance. Geologist František Pošepný was one of the most important educators of this era and of all the school's history.

In 1894, the academy received its university status decree and A. Hoffmann was elected the first chancellor of the university in 1898.

At the beginning of the 20th century the national conflicts went to the attempts to move Leoben academy to Vienna, while Příbram school should have been dissolved. Long proceedings and the fact, that three quarters of the mining production of the Austria-Hungary was provided by the mines in the Czech lands. In 1904 both Leoben and Příbram institutions were renamed Mining Academy ( _cz. Vysoká škola báňská) with prof. Josef Theurer as the first chancellor.

The university started with 11 departments, but the number grew to 18 in 1924. The university had the right to name doctors of mining sciences ("dr. mont."). The highest number of students was almost 500 in 1921, but in the late 1930s the number fell to 120.

The position of the institution changed basically after arousal of Czechoslovakia in 1918, one year later the Czech language became the official language of the university. Many attempts to move it out of Příbram recurred, several of them initiated from the university itself, but they were refused.

World War II and the closure of Czech universities interrupted the work of the institution, which was resumed in 1945. The university was however moved to Ostrava within few months to bring the education closer to the booming mining industry in the Ostrava region. The last mining university students left Příbram in 1946 summer.
