Monument to Antonín Ježek

Monument to Antonín Ježek, Memorial monument in Čtyři Dvory, Czech Republic.

The monument to Antonín Ježek stands in a park near the Vysokoškolské koleje stop in České Budějovice. Its base is rough-hewn granite about 100 by 100 cm, carrying a block of polished black stone with the pilot's photograph. Above it sits a four-sided truncated pyramid with a roof-like top bearing an image of an aircraft and an inscription. The whole is 320 cm tall and weighs roughly 700 kg.

The memorial was unveiled in 1925 and honors a Czech aviation pioneer from the early 20th century. It marks an important moment in recognizing the region's role in flight development.

The monument carries the inscription "Obětem letectví" (To the victims of aviation) and an image of an aircraft. Its base holds a photograph of pilot Antonín Ježek. The unveiling in 1925 included speeches by the Aeroklub and legionary associations, and a signed parchment was placed in the pedestal.

The monument stands in a park between Branišovská and Václava Talicha streets, near the Vysokoškolské koleje bus stop. It was re-erected there on 6 May 2021 and formally unveiled on 12 May 2021. The granite base measures about 100 × 100 cm and the whole monument is 320 cm tall, weighing roughly 700 kg.

The monument bears the wrong date of death: 18 October 1923 instead of 18 November 1923, an error later copied by other sources. It also once gave the first name as Josef; a metal plate with "Antonín" was added, but the month could not be corrected because the longer word would not fit.
