Memorial of J. E. Hibsch

 

Meorial of world-renowned geologist Josef Emanuel Hibsch.

 

Situated not far from the museum is the J. E. Hibsch Memorial, erected to mark the 125th anniversary of his birth in Homole. (It is ironic that the memorial was placed on the site of a memorial to those killed during the world wars, which at that time was is very poor condition and mostly forgotten, as the memorial bore the names of the German inhabitants killed in the wars, and their descendants were moved out after the war. However, there is a conciliatory end to the story: Mr Ptáček, the local mayor, had the memorial moved to the cemetery and the inscription restored.
