List of mayors of Prague

New Town Hall

The office of Mayor of Prague was established in 1784. In that year, under Joseph II, the four previously independent neighboring communities of Malá Strana, Nové Město, Staré Město, and Hradčany were merged into a single entity.

Since 1945, the mayor resides and presides in the New Town Hall, completed in 1911.

Through 1918

Some forces wanted to try him for high treason (left: "What some men wished" – "Dr. Bělský for high treason"), but he got a full confidence from the Council of Prague (right: "but what they did not expect" – "address of confidence from the city of Prague")
