Putim Gate in Písek - Horydoly.cz - Outdoor Generation

All three gates can be seen on the model in the Písek Museum in Písek.

Three of the Písek gates

The Putim Gate protected the road towards Putim.From today's point of view it was just a paved car route, but it was still an important communication.The street is still called Putimská.

One gate with a tower stood over the medieval parks or by a fortified ditch.Today there is a park and over it is vaulting an ancient stone bridge.It can be found in places where the streets of Fráni Šrámka, Putimská and Hradební streets meet.

Out of the city led a wooden drawbridge from the Putim gate.In the Renaissance it was replaced by a stone bridge.In 1842 the townspeople expanded it for the operation of large cars.Six years before they had demolished the gate to prevent traffic.

The Klatovy Zachnu took hold in Prague

The song describing the journey of Student for Education and Love reminds of Písek Reality, but it does not have much in common with South Bohemia.The origin of the melody was tracked by musicologists only in the West Bohemian Klatovy.

It seems to be composed by one of the teachers on the local church Piarist grammar school.Of course, it has a German text and it concerns the celebration of the Virgin Mary.After the abolition of the Klatovy monastery within the Josephine reforms, some teachers and their pupils move to the monastery in Milevsk and take the song with them.

The Czech version of the song gets at the end of 19.century when sand becomes a secular grammar school city.

However, it will not be popular in South or Western Bohemia, but only in far Prague.She sings her there in pubs at that time not very renowned painter Mikoláš Aleš.It gets it to the public and ensures immortality.

When I went through the Putim gateway

When I went through the Putim gate, two dolls were looking behind me, [: and called Studente, those little premiere.:]

Why dolls, why do you look at me, why do you call the Studente on me, [: I must not love you, I have to study.:]

I did not love a virgin for seven.:]

Wait a girl, but you will cry when I preach the preaching [: preaching, preaching, about faithful lovemaking.:]

Wait a girl, you will be in a way when I serve the Holy Mass [: in that Písek church, the first will be for you.:]
