Dejvice ( German Dewitz ) is a cadastral municipality in the Czech capital Prague . It belongs to the Prague 6 district . The village of Dejvice was annexed to the Prague urban area in 1922 and immediately underwent massive urban development around the central square called Vítězné náměstí . Today the district has an urban character, but borders on large green areas ( Stromovka , Šárka Valley )
history
From 1944 to 1945 Dejvice was the location of the SS Junk School in Prague-Dewitz , where the Waffen SS trained some of their junior military leaders.
traffic
The Praha-Dejvice railway station , which went into operation in 1830, was the Prague terminus of the horse-drawn tram to Lana and, even later, an important starting point for Prague rail traffic. The district was connected to the metro in 1978 ( Hradčanská and Dejvická stations ). The street Evropská connects the city center to the west with the airport .
