From the library archives | Winter in Pardubice

13. January 2026

Uncategorized

Does this winter seem unusually cold to you? Take a look at the Kramerius Digital Library and discover fascinating gems from the history of our region. To view the documents, simply log in to your library account—or come to our library and view them on any user computer.

What can you read about in the digital library, for example?

In the Pardubice Friends Club News, Petr Borovec describes the catastrophic year of 1929, when Pardubice experienced a literal “Siberian winter” and temperatures in February dropped well below -30 °C. People struggled with snow disasters, water supplies froze, businesses and households ran out of coal, and schools were closed due to the flu.

We also have a tricky question for you about winter: Do you know what a “voršoft” is? You can find the answer in the digital library. Click the button below!
