Cheb Market Square (King George of Poděbrady Square)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Cheb market square has been the center of city life for hundreds of years. It is called “King George of Poděbrad Square” (Náměsti Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad). This king, who ruled from 1458 to 1471, is little known, but was actually a visionary of European unification and of far greater importance to the city than the famous Duke Albrecht of Wallenstein, who was murdered in a house on this site in 1634. For George from Poděbrady, Eger was probably the most important city in Bohemia after Prague; he resided at Eger Castle four times. In 1462, the king drew up the first European peace plan: the continent was to be united with a confederation of states. In 1960 a monument was erected to him here at the “Scharfen Eck” at the tourist information center. The real landmark of the market square, whose structure dates back to the 13th century, is a group of houses whose core dates back to the late Gothic period, the Cheb Stöckl (Špalíček).

In the park near the elementary school building there is a statue of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, created in 1932 by the sculptor Willy Russ from Krásno to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of the great German poet.

The Black Tower was originally a defensive, prismatic tower of the city wall system. It is near the former main gate of the city that was part of the fortress, the so-called Lower Castle. Evidence of its defensive function are the narrow windows (loopholes). The tower warden's apartment was later set up on the top floor. His job was to protect the city from fires and other dangers. Today, the Black Tower offers visitors a beautiful view of the city and the castle. There is an exhibition of historical crafts, seals of the Loket guilds, instruction sheets, guild books and rules. The entrance to the tower is only halfway up, a testament to the tower's defensive function. The total height of the tower is 32 meters, from the street to the top floor there are 25 stone and 78 wooden steps to climb. Opening times: in July and August daily from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., in September only on weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission: 30 crowns, children and seniors 20 crowns.
