The Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu (MPO, dt : Ministry of Industry and Trade ) has its seat in Prague in the Czech Republic , directly on the bank of the Vltava and near the Štefánikův Bridge .
history
Today's Ministry of Industry and Trade had different competencies and designations in the past. For example: Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Trade and Tourism, Ministry of Planning.
The Ministry is mainly housed in the Prague 1 Old Town building, Francis 1039-1032 (see photo). The ministry building belongs to a group of three government buildings that the Czech government had built on the then newly regulated river bank. The other two buildings are the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Agriculture near the Hlávkův Bridge .
The Prague Chamber of Commerce was located nearby. Construction of the Ministry began in 1928 and completion was originally scheduled for 1931. But it was not finally completed until 1934. The architect of the building was Josef Fanta , whose design was selected in a public tender (a total of six architects took part in the tender). The construction company Anthony Belada was responsible for the construction.
The five-story, rectangular building measures approximately 107 × 49 meters. It has self-supporting walls and a stone facade made of granite and sandstone. The main entrance to the ministry faces the Moldova. The entrance to the patent office was originally on the west side of the building.
A construction similar to this architecture is e.g. For example, in Hiroshima ( Japan ), the Hiroshima Prefecture's product exhibition hall (also: "Atomic Bomb Dome"), which was built according to plans by the Czech architect Jan Letzel and completed in April 1915.
