Čítárna a kavárna Avion

Čítárna a kavárna Avion, Reading room and café in Český Těšín, Czech Republic.

Čítárna a kavárna Avion is a reading room and café facility in Český Těšín that combines both functions in a single space. The interior features comfortable seating areas, bookshelves distributed throughout, and a café counter where drinks and snacks are served.

The original Avion café was built in 1933 for Rosalie Wiesnerová, owner of the Hotel National, to designs by Slovak architect Michal Maximilián Scheer, with construction by the Nekvasil firm. On 1 September 1939 the retreating Polish army blew up the nearby bridge over the Olza; the blast wave destroyed the café, and the German authorities had the remains of the Jewish-owned property dismantled. A new reading room and café, designed by Czesław Mendrek with interiors by Andrea Šacherová, opened on the site on 17 June 2010.

The name Avion was registered as a trademark, so the 2010 building opened as Noiva — Avion read right-to-left in Hebrew script, as in Yiddish. The café is run by students of the Český Těšín hotel, business and printing school, and the building is managed by the town library as a literary café and reading room.

The café stands at the corner of Hlavní třída and Masarykovy sady, by the bridge over the Olše, and is run by students of the local hotel and business school. The terrace on the upper floor holds a glazed gallery room with four tables. The Stolperstein for Rosalie Wiesner is set into the pavement in front of the entrance.

A Stolperstein set into the pavement in front of the café bears the name of Rosalie Wiesnerová (1885–1942), the Jewish owner of the Hotel National who commissioned the original Avion in 1932. The small concrete cube with a brass plate was made by German artist Gunter Demnig. The trademark on the name Avion forced the new building to be called Noiva, which reads Avion backwards in Yiddish script.
