Památník Pražského povstání

Památník Pražského povstání, War memorial in Hlubočepy, Prague, Czech Republic

The monument consists of two parts: a large mosaic on the left depicting barricade fighters, and a memorial plaque on the right that originally listed the names and birth years of 168 defenders. The plaque measured 2 by 2 metres and bore a verse by Miroslav Florian. The mosaic was created by Martin Sladký, and the design was by Martin Sladký, Miroslav Florian, Jiří Danda and Ján Špičák.

The monument was built in 1988 to replace earlier smaller memorials for 168 defenders who fell during the Prague Uprising in May 1945. These fighters resisted Nazi occupation during the final days of World War Two.

The mosaic panel depicts barricade fighters; its creator, painter Martin Sladký, also made large-scale mosaics elsewhere. Above the 2 x 2 metre plaque stood Miroslav Florian's verse: "Padli za Prahu a řeka šeptá jejich jména jako přísahu" (They fell for Prague and the river whispers their names like an oath). The plaque listed 168 names and birth years, including one woman, Vlasta Leopoldová, and the youngest victim, aged 18.

Paved stairs climb from the Vltava River up to the site, though the area has ongoing construction work. Visitors should wear proper footwear as the location has no shelter or seating areas.

The bronze name plaque was stolen over the years and replaced by a plastic one, which vandals then damaged. In 2019 the mosaic was spray-painted, though it was cleaned the following year. Prague 5 later transferred the 168 names to the Prague Uprising memorial at Zlíchov, and the Barrandov monument was struck from the register of war graves.
