The local population marched
on a spontaneous demonstration on October 29, 1918. The procession
came out of Main Square (now Žižka Square) and stopped at Rieger
Square (now Křižík Square) near the picture of T. G. Masaryk. From
there the procession returned to Main Square, where Prof. Karel
Kostlivý gave a speech about the events of October 28, 1918
(Czechoslovak independence had been declared that day in
Prague).
