Detailed Information on Publication Record

The specialist publication monitors how thinking about architecture in the 19th and 20th centuries was reflected in the construction of a small Moravian town. Reiner Maria Rilke and Robert Musil studied at the premises of Austrian military universities designed by the Viennese architect Wilhelm Doder. One of the few realizations of Jan Kříženecký and Josef Pokorný, the first pioneers of film in our land, has been preserved in Hranice. In the inter-war period, significant houses were built in Hranice and the neighboring Teplice nad Bečvou spa, designed by many personalities of Czech and Moravian architecture, Bohumil Babánek, Karel Caivas, Josef Danda, Karel Kotas, Josef Macharáček, Adolf Liebscher, Ella and Oskar Oehler, Bedřich Rozehnal, Hubert Svobody , Lubomír Šlapeta, Emil Šulc, Václav Velvarský, Arnošt Wiesner and others. Born in nearby Všechovice, Ladislav Fuchs enriched the region with several small works. In the surroundings we can also find the realization of the “Baťa architect” František Lydie Gahura. Most of these authors' buildings were not known until recently and had to be rediscovered. However, several interesting realizations were created in Hranice and its surroundings quite recently, be it the works of Tomáš Černoušek, Karel Typovský, Pavel Mudřík, Miroslav Pospíšil or Tomáš Kočnar.
