Zborovský pomník

Zborovský pomník, War memorial in České Budějovice, Czech Republic

The Zborovský Memorial is a single diorite statue of a soldier on guard, sculpted by Captain Otto Birma with an architectural design by Karel Chochola. It stands on the left bank of the Malše, in a small park between the Kosmonautů Bridge and the Krumlovský Bridge in České Budějovice.

The 1st Infantry Regiment of Master Jan Hus arrived in České Budějovice in January 1921 and began annual Zborov celebrations; the memorial was to mark the battle's 10th anniversary. Sculptor Otto Birma, a pupil of Myslbek and Štursa and a former legionnaire, made the diorite soldier, with architect Karel Chochola designing the architectural part. It was unveiled on 10 July 1927, a few days after the planned 2 July date, in the presence of ministers František Udržal and Edvard Beneš.

The 1st Infantry Regiment of Master Jan Hus, which arrived in České Budějovice in 1921, began holding annual Zborov celebrations at the turn of June and July; the memorial was unveiled during the tenth-anniversary celebrations on 10 July 1927. After 1945, Zborov festivities and oaths of new soldiers were again held at the monument.

The memorial stands on the left bank of the Malše, in a small park between Most Kosmonautů and Krumlovský most. It is reached on foot along the riverbank; the statue faces the pathway, so look toward the river to find it.

The memorial has a single diorite soldier standing guard, not a group of figures. Sculptor Otto Birma, a pupil of Myslbek and Štursa and a former legionnaire, carved it; architect Karel Chochola designed the architectural part. In March 1939 soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment dismantled it to hide it from the German occupation and stored the parts in the cellar of stonemason Václav Háry in Dvořákova Street.
