New Town Hall (Novoměstská radnice)
The construction of New Town Town Hall began soon after the foundation of the New Town by Charles IV in 1348. Over the centuries, it became a witness to numerous historical events, especially in 1419, the first Defenestration of Prague, which was the beginning of the Hussite movement. Today, cultural and social events take place in the historical premises of the Town Hall. From the almost 70-meter-high, gothic tower, opens a beautiful view of the New Town and Charles Square (in the Czech language, Karlovo náměstí), which is the largest square in Prague.
The construction work on the Town Hall began soon after the foundation of the Prague New Town in 1348. It served as the administrative seat of the Prague New Town until 1784, in which all four Prague cities were connected together. In 1419, it became the site of a conflict between the Catholics and the followers of the communion in both forms. The Rogation march, led by Jan Želivský and Jan Žižka, demanded before the Town Hall the release of its arrested followers. From the Town Hall, someone threw a stone at the Rogation march, whereupon the mass reacted in such a way that it invaded the Town Hall and threw the mayor, two appointees, and some citizens on spears and halberds of the crowd waiting below. This first Prague Defenestration on July 30, 1419 was the outbreak of the Hussite revolution. In 1609, Bohemian estates assembled to compel the Emperor Rudolph II to issue the decree guaranteeing religious liberties. Since 1784, the Alt Town Town Hall has been used by the unified Prague Municipalities, the object of the New Town Town Hall became the seat of the National Court of Justice and also the Town Hall prison was extended and called Prague Bastille. Two rooms of the ground floor prison are called "soup" and "blood sausage" after their first prisoners. The local prison saw also the leader of the Chods rebellion (the Chodové (Chods, "Walkers", "Patrollers" or "Rangers"), Jan Sladký Kozina, from the inside, in 1848, there were revolutionists, and in 1894 a process was held in which members of the youthful progressors "Youth League" were sentenced, e.g. Alois Rašín and Stanislav Kostka Neumann.
The town hall is a complex of several medieval objects with the oldest east wing from the time around 1377 (towards the Vodičkova street), the south wing (towards Karlsplatz) was added in the years 1411-16, in the years 1520-26 it was reconstructed by Benedikt Ried in the Renaissance style and furnished with late Gothic gables. The east wing underwent a Renaissance reconstruction by Bonifaz Wohlmut after 1559, inside are the preserved extensive original Gothic double nave hall, the mazhouse with cross-ribbed vaults on cylindrical pillars from the years 1411 - 18. The vault is the largest in Prague among civilian buildings. The most important reconstruction of the town hall followed from 1904 - 05, when Antonín Wiehl and Kamil Hilbert liquidated the neoclassical reconstruction from the beginning of the 19th century and shaped the building with the Renaissance style from the first half of the 16th century. The most spacious room is the large hall of the lay judges on the walls of which are paintings in the sense of the Rudolphin mannerism. From here, the administration of the New Town was alternatively steered by five councilmen.
The gothic corner tower was built in the second half of the 14th century, and from 1520 to 26 it received new Renaissance windows, the tower spiral staircase and the roof date from the years 1722 - 25. In 1651, the coat of arms of the New Town was attached to the tower, in the year 1668 the Apostle Clock was painted and installed which was eliminated by the end of the 18th Century. The four-sided and four-storey tower is 42 meters high, 221 steps lead up. At the corner is the so-called Prague "Elle" (59.14 cm) which is intended for public surveying. In the tower is an originally Gothic chapel in the first half of the 18th century reconstructed in the Baroque style, during its origination dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St. Wenceslas. In the chapel are paintings of the Virgin Mary with St. Benedict (the central altar authority), also depicted is St. George and also there are two wooden sculptures of the saints. The chapel has an allegorical ceiling fresco "law and justice" and a rich ornamentation under the roof.
The last reconstruction took place in the years 1976 - 96, the rooms were adapted to the needs of the authorities of Prague 2 district. There are rooms for exhibitions, concerts and social celebrations. On the first floor after the mazhouse is a hall with a similar vault in which marriages are concluded.
In 1962, the New Town Town Hall was declared a National Cultural Monument.
Neustädter Rathaus (Novoměstská radnice)
Der Bau des Neustädter Rathauses begann bald nach Gründung der Neustadt durch Karl IV im Jahre 1348. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde es zum Zeugen zahlreicher historischer Begebenheiten, vornehmlich im Jahre 1419, des ersten Prager Fenstersturzes, der der Beginn der Hussitenbewegung war. In den historischen Räumlichkeiten des Rathauses finden heute kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Veranstaltungen statt. Vom beinahe 70 Meter hohen, gotischen Turm eröffnet sich ein wunderschöner Ausblick auf die Neustadt und auf den Karlsplatz (tsch.: Karlovo náměstí), der der größte Platz Prags ist.
Die Bauarbeiten am Rathaus begannen bald nach der Gründung der Prager Neustadt im Jahre 1348. Es diente als Verwaltungssitz der Prager Neustadt bis zum Jahr 1784, in dem alle vier Prager Städte verbunden wurden. Im Jahre 1419 wurde es zum Schauplatz eines Waffenkonfliktes zwischen den Katholiken und den Anhängern der Kommunion in beiden Gestalten. Der durch Jan Želivský und Jan Žižka geführte Bittgang forderte vor dem Rathaus die Freilassung seiner verhafteten Anhänger. Vom Rathaus warf jemand auf den Bittgang einen Stein, worauf die Masse so reagierte, dass sie ins Rathaus einbrachte und auf Spieße und Hellebarden der unten wartenden Masse den Bürgermeister, zwei Schöffen und einige Bürger stürzte. Dieser erste Prager Fenstersturz am 30. Juli 1419 war der Ausbruch der hussitischen Revolution. Im Jahre 1609 trafen hier böhmische Stände zusammen, um den Kaiser Rudolph II. zu zwingen, die religiösen Freiheiten zusichernde Majestät zu erlassen. Den vereinigten Prager Gemeinden diente seit 1784 das Altstädter Rathaus, das Objekt des Neustädter Rathauses wurde zum Sitz des Landesstrafgerichts und auch das Rathausgefängnis wurde ausgebaut und Prager Bastille genannt. Zwei Zimmer des Erdgeschossgefängnisses heißen nach ihren ersten Häftlingen „Suppe“ und „Blutwurst“. Das hiesige Gefängnis erlebte auch der Führer der Chodenrebellion Jan Sladký Kozina, im Jahre 1848 waren Revolutionsteilnehmer da und im Jahre 1894 fand hier ein Prozess statt, in dem Mitglieder der jugendlichen Fortschrittler „Jugendverband“ verurteilt wurden, z.B. Alois Rašín oder Stanislav Kostka Neumann.
Das Rathaus ist ein Komplex mehrerer mittelalterlicher Subjekte mit dem ältesten Ostflügel aus der Zeit um 1377 (in die Vodičkova-Straße), der Südflügel (in Richtung in den Karlsplatz) wurde in den Jahren 1411 - 16 dazugebaut, in den Jahren 1520 - 26 wurde er durch Benedikt Ried im Renaissancestil umgebaut und mit spätgotischen Giebeln versehen. Der Ostflügel wurde auch einem Renaissanceumbau durch Bonifaz Wohlmut nach 1559 unterzogen, drin sind der erhaltene ausgedehnte gotische Originaldoppelschiffsaal, das Rat-Maßhaus mit Kreuzrippengewölben auf zylindrischen Pfeilern aus den Jahren 1411 - 18. Das Gewölbe ist das größte in Prag unter Zivilgebäuden. Der bedeutendste Umbau des Rathauses verlief in den Jahren 1904 - 05, als Antonín Wiehl und Kamil Hilbert den klassizistischen Umbau aus dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts auflösten und das Gebäude in die Renaissancegestalt aus der 1. Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts brachten. Das geräumigste Zimmer ist der große Schöffensaal, an dessen Wänden Gemäldereste im Sinne des rudolphinischen Manierismus sind. Von hier steuerten die Verwaltung der Neustadt abwechselnd fünf Ratherren.
Der gotische Eckturm wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts erbaut, in den Jahren 1520 - 26 erhielt er neue Renaissancefenster, der Turmwendelgang und das Dach stammen aus den Jahren 1722 - 25. Im Jahre 1651 wurde an den Turm das Wappen der Neustadt angebracht, im Jahre 1668 wurde die Aposteluhr gemalt und montiert, die Ende 18. Jh. beseitigt wurde. Der vierseitige und viergeschossige Turm ist 42 Meter hoch, 221 Stufen führen hinauf. Am Eck befindet sich die sog. Prager Elle (59,14 cm), die zum öffentlichen Vermessen bestimmt ist. Im Turm ist eine ursprünglich gotische in der 1. Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts barockisierte Kapelle, die bei ihrer Entstehung der Jungfrau Maria und dem Hl. Wenzel geweiht wurde. In der Kapelle sind Gemälde der Jungfrau Maria mit dem Hl. Benediktus (das zentrale Altarbehörde), abgebildet ist auch der Hl. Georg und außerdem sind hier zwei Holzplastiken der Heiligen. Die Kapelle verfügt über eine allegorische Deckenfreske „Recht und Gerechtigkeit“ und eine reichhaltige Verzierung unter dem Dach.
Der letzte Umbau erfolgte in den Jahren 1976 - 96, die Räume wurden an den Bedarf der Behörde des Stadtteils Prag 2 angepasst. Es gibt hier Räume für Ausstellungen, Konzerte und gesellschaftliche Feierlichkeiten. Im ersten Stock nach dem Maßhaus ist ein Saal mit einem ähnlichen Gewölbe, in dem Ehen geschlossen werden.
Im Jahre 1962 wurde das Neustädter Rathaus zum Volkskulturdenkmal erklärt.

China's looser anti-COVID measures met with relief, caution
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — People across China reacted with relief and caution Thursday to the dramatic government decision to loosen some of the world’s most severe COVID-19 restrictions.
For the first time in months, Jenny Jian hit the gym in the southern metropolis of Guangzhou without being required to scan the “health code” on her smartphone, part of a nationwide system that tracks where hundreds of millions of people go.
Elsewhere, virus tests no longer were required to enter many public places under changes announced Wednesday that followed nationwide protests against restrictions that have confined millions of families to their homes. Schools in areas without outbreaks were ordered to reopen.
“It was implemented very quickly,” said Jian, a 28-year-old resident of the southern city of Guangzhou. “But policy is one thing. The main thing is to see what the experience is when I step out the door.”
The changes are in line with the government's promise to make restrictions less burdensome while still trying to contain the virus. While it’s not clear if the new rules are a direct response to the protests, they address some of the most pressing issues that drove people on the streets.
The state crackdown on the demonstrations was swift, if largely out of sight [Really? With so many cell phones and a 1.4 billion people, can the "crackdown" be "out-of-sight"?], and the flash of public anger faded from view even before the changes were announced. For now, it’s unclear whether more protests will flare given a quickly changing situation.
Among the most significant changes announced was that people who test positive for COVID-19 but show mild or no symptoms can now stay at home — a 180-degree turn from the previous policy, which sent all infected people to government field hospitals that became notorious for overcrowding and poor food and hygiene.
Chinese officials who spent three years warning the public about COVID-19’s dangers have also begun to talk about it as less threatening — a possible effort to prepare for living with the virus, as many other nations have done. On Thursday, official messaging particularly emphasized the point, with several state media outlets sharing a lengthy explainer that noted the virus is here to stay.
“The past three years have made us not want to come in contact with the virus ... but actually in human society, there are thousands of microorganisms,” a team working for prominent government doctor Zhang Wenhong wrote. “Inadvertently, every year we will get sick briefly because we’ve been infected by several of these.”
Still, experts were careful to underscore this was not the end of COVID-19 containment.
“It is not that we are going to lie flat. Precision prevention must be still adhered to,” said Yu Changping, a doctor in the department of respiratory medicine at the People’s Hospital of Wuhan University. “The opening is an irreversible trend in the future because most people have been vaccinated and there has been a lower number of serious illnesses.”
While outside experts have increasingly criticized China's containment policy as unsustainable, they have also warned that the country will now face a challenging first wave, as the loosened measures will no doubt fuel an increase of cases. That could be particularly difficult because many elderly people are not vaccinated and the country's strict policies have meant few people have natural immunity against the virus.
“Every country in experiencing their first wave will face chaos, especially in medical capacity, and a squeeze on medical resources," said Wang Pi-sheng, Taiwan's head of COVID-19 response. Wang said Taiwanese living in China could come home for medical treatment, especially if they're elderly or at high risk.
Bracing for the possibility of getting infected, people in the southwestern city of Chongqing rushed to buy cold and fever medicine, in line with government advice. In Beijing, some pharmacies ran out of the drugs.
Even the possibility of buying such medicine was remarkable, as the new rules relaxed restrictions on them. During the height of the pandemic, such over-the-counter medications could only be purchased through a lengthy application process and just visiting a pharmacy risked triggering the health code smartphone app.
But after three years of continually changing restrictions, many were cautious about rejoicing too early, wondering how the new measures would be carried out.
“All the policies are there, but when it gets to the local level, when it gets to the sub-district level, your neighborhood, it’s a complete mess,” said 65-year-old Yang Guangwei, a retiree who lives in Beijing.
The new measures also mandate fewer PCR tests, noting they must be targeted at those in high-risk industries and not entire districts. At the height of some lockdowns, many cities carried out daily tests. In recent months, Beijing and Shanghai residents had to take one every two or three days just to be able to move around the city.
One Beijing resident who gave only his family name, Qian, out of concern for discussing government policy, noted that testing is still required to access some places.
“They say don’t test, but the workplace still requires it. That’s contradictory,” Qian said of his own experience.
Underneath the official announcement of rollbacks posted on social media by state broadcaster CCTV, users expressed skepticism and noted that uncertainties abound.
One user asked if universities, many of which had prevented students from entering and leaving freely in the past few years, would return to normal. Others wondered whether certain cities would get rid of their quarantine-upon-arrival measures, as mandated in the national policies announced Wednesday.
But some expressed hope that the measures would open up new possibilities, like travel, which has been severely curtailed.

China Focus: Health officials, experts explain new epidemic response measures
BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese health officials and experts on Thursday expounded on guidelines on new COVID-19 epidemic response measures and home-based care for those infected with the virus.
People are encouraged to conduct COVID-19 antigen self-testing if needed, and those infected who are asymptomatic or exhibit mild symptoms without severe underlying conditions can be treated at home, according to the guidelines released by the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism against COVID-19 on Thursday.
"The pathogenicity of the current Omicron strain has seen a notable decline, and the majority of the infected are asymptomatic or show mild symptoms, while only a small number of patients are severely ill," said Wang Guiqiang, director of the infectious disease department of Peking University First Hospital, at a press conference.
The majority of the infected can be treated at home, Wang said, adding that they should monitor their health conditions and contact community doctors or go to hospitals if necessary.
Wang said the aim of encouraging quarantine and treatment at home is to enforce more precise triage and treatment for patients with different severity levels of illness.
Wang also advised home-based personnel to minimize contact with family members or keep a certain distance from them.
The new epidemic response measures optimize nucleic acid tests by targeting personnel with a higher risk of infection.
High-risk groups include those who work at quarantine venues, medics at fever clinics, workers at shopping malls and supermarkets, and couriers, said Wang Liping, a researcher with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, adding that they should be subject to nucleic acid tests according to relevant rules.
The new measures stipulate requirements to better protect high-risk groups.
In order to minimize medics' exposure to the virus, medical institutions should improve the management of fever clinics, emergency rooms, and wards, said Guo Yanhong, an official with the National Health Commission.
Medical personnel should be equipped with protective gear and vaccinated to guard against the virus, Guo said, adding that a 48-hour negative nucleic acid test result is necessary when entering medical institutions.
Special institutions such as nursing homes should fully implement preventive measures and formulate emergency response plans, Guo said. ■

What to expect next as China relaxes Covid controls
▫️ National authorities announced Wednesday sweeping changes to make it easier to travel domestically, keep businesses operating and allow Covid patients to quarantine at home.
▫️ The path forward for China to reopen may take a few months, with a surge in infections likely, Goldman Sachs Chief China Economist Hui Shan and a team said in a Dec. 4 report.
▫️ In the near term, about 60% of people may get infected, regardless of how policy is adjusted, Feng Zijian, former deputy director of China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday during a Tsinghua University talk.
Health authorities emphasized Wednesday the latest changes do not imply a full reopening. There was no reduction in quarantine time for international travelers, and the measures include instances in which a negative virus test is still required.
At a local level, Beijing city said Wednesday evening that people wanting to dine in at restaurants would still need to show a negative virus test from within the last two days.
