The Lauby Phenomenon
The area of Ostrava city centre known as “Lauby” takes its name from a historic local word denoting the covered arcades that ran along the entire street frontage of the urban block bordered by four streets: Velká, Dlouhá, Pivovarská and Muzejní. Originally consisting of six medieval parcels (lots), the area was the site of the oldest buildings in Moravská Ostrava, and for a long time it was considered a prestigious address, which was home to respected burghers, municipal officials and wealthy tradespeople. However, in the mid-19th century Lauby went into decline, becoming notorious for its cheap, disreputable taverns and drinking dens frequented by Ostrava’s underclass, as well as being a magnet for prostitution.
Based on the findings of archeological and architectural-historical research, the exhibition traces the fascinating evolution of eight buildings (formerly nos. 54–61) which were eventually demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a parking lot.
This exhibition has been prepared by the Ostrava branch of the National Heritage Institute.
