Monuments

The most important monument zone in Poprad is the center of the Spišská Sobota district. The most rare architectural monument here is the Church of St. George with five late Gothic wing altars and the main altar by Master Pavle from Levoča. It was created on the border between late Gothic and Renaissance. Next to the church, like in other "German" towns in Hornospiš, stands a Renaissance bell tower. The entire center of Spišská Sobota was declared a city monument reserve.

In the historic center of Poprad, the most important monument is the early Gothic Church of St. Egídia with its rich fresco decoration. Only the baptistery remains of the late Baroque decoration of the church. Next to the church stands a Renaissance bell tower from the 16th century.

There is an obelisk in the square in Spišská Sobota in memory of the revolution of 1848 and in memory of those who died in the First World War.
In the park near the railway station in Poprad there is a monument in memory of the Red Army, which liberated the city in January 1945.
There is a monument to the unjustly martyred in Velicky Square.
There is a memorial to those martyred in the gulags at the largest cemetery in Veľká.
There is a recently restored SNP monument near the airport.
At the railway station on the first platform there is a commemorative plaque for the first Slovak transport of Jewish women and girls to a concentration camp. There is a similar plaque at the synagogue in the center of the city.
A memorial plaque to a young man, Jozef Bonko, who was shot during the occupation of Poprad by Soviet troops is on the retaining wall of the church of St. Aegis in the city center.
In front of the NsP, until the Gentle Revolution, there was a square called Leninovo, in the center of which stood a huge bronze statue of V. I. Lenin.

Geography

Poprad is located in the Poprad basin, which is part of the Podtatra basin, between the High and Belianske Tatras (in the north), the Levočské vrchy (in the east), the Goat's backs (in the south) and the Štrbská basin (in the west), on the Poprad river of the same name. It is surrounded by agricultural lands that pass into continuous forest complexes. For most of the year, the west wind blows in Poprad. In 1950, Poprad had 11,000 inhabitants, in 2004 it had already 54,589. Three housing estates were built on the territory of the city: Banícka, Juh (the largest, parts of South I-VI) and West (parts I-III).

 

Watercourses

The Poprad River is formed by the confluence of the Hincova creek (flows from Veľké Hincova pleso) and the Krupá creek (flows from Popradské pleso) in the Mengusovská valley in the High Tatras. On the territory of the city, Potôčky and Hozelský streams flow from the right, Velický and Slavkovský streams from the left.

 

Parts of the city

Today's city of Poprad consists of five former cities of Hornospiš and one former settlement (the statute of the city and the ÚGKK SR refer to them as "parts of the city"):

Staré Mesto (Poprad (in the narrow sense of the word))
Matejovce

History of the city

The surroundings of the city were already inhabited in prehistoric times. This is also evidenced by the discovery of a travertine cast of the cranial cavity of a Neanderthal man in nearby Gánovci in 1926. Man lived here continuously afterwards - this is confirmed by finds from the Stone and Bronze Ages. Findings from 2006 confirmed the presence of the Germanic Vandals in this area.

The historical period begins in the middle of the 13th century, when the first written mentions of the city and its current districts are dated. In 1256, the written mention of Poprad as a separate village settled by German immigrants appears for the first time. The beginnings of historical Poprad, however, date back to 1209, when the name "Poprad" appeared in the oldest document concerning the territory of Spiš, in which King Ondrej II. gave a certain provost Adolf and his sister extensive territories on Spiš above Poprad. According to legends, the cult of Saint Egidio, to whom the chapel was dedicated, was already manifested here in this period. In 1276, today's Poprad consisted of two independent municipalities: Poprad and Nemecká Ves, which later merged.

Initially as a small village located at the crossroads of important trade routes, Prad developed in the shadow of the surrounding villages, especially Spišská Sobota. Increasingly, German colonists settled here, as evidenced by the name of the oldest town, Popradzaza (Saxony Poprad); in the later period, it received the purely German name Deutschendorf, which was used until the 17th century.

In the middle of the 14th century, Poprad, together with other Spiš villages, became part of the province of 24 Spiš towns, with which in 1412 it entered the so-called Polish reserve. After the end of the reserve in 1772, Poprad belonged to the province of 16 Spiš cities, where it remained until 1876. It was granted market rights as early as the 18th century.

Already in the 16th and 17th centuries, the economic growth of the city occurred, which stimulated the settlement of the Slovak population and the strengthening of the Polish influence. The originally agricultural character of the town was changing; in 1692, a paper mill, the oldest craft factory, was founded here.

A significant contribution to the development of the city was the opening of the Košice-Bohumín railway in 1871, which became the main driving force of economic growth and permanently started the prosperity of Poprad at the expense of Spišská Sobota and nearby Kežmark. With the discovery and gradual opening up of the High Tatras, the town began to benefit from tourism (the opening of the electric railway in 1908-1912 also contributed to this).

On January 1, 1923, on the basis of Government Regulation no. 257/1922, the city with the established municipality became the large municipality of Poprad, and in 1927 Poprad became the seat of the newly established district.

During the Second World War, Poprad became the center of the anti-fascist resistance. The fact that during the so-called of the Slovak state, a concentration camp was established in the city in 1942, where Jews destined for deportation were gathered, and already on March 25 of that year, the first Jewish transport to Auschwitz left Poprad. Poprad was liberated on January 28, 1945.

After the end of the war, the development of the city took place, supported by the connection of the surrounding villages and the creation of an urban agglomeration with urban districts - Spišská Sobota and Veľká were connected in 1945, Stráže pod Tatrami in 1960 and Matejovce in 1974. Massive industrial production started (wagons, electrical appliances), the food industry also progressed.

Currently, Poprad is a modern, developing city, known even beyond the borders of the country. In 2006, it was a candidate city for hosting the Winter Olympic Games.

 

Demographics

1772 – 1832
In 1772 (after the return of the towns from the Polish reserve), Evangelicals formed the overwhelming majority in the territory of today's Poprad, but the share of Catholics gradually increased thanks to immigration (years 1773, 1801, 1832):
Spišská Sobota: 170/657, 303/663, 323/585
Large: 20/986, 101/1101, 237/1300
Poprad: 28/768, 240/877, 357/750
Matejovce: 16/600, 69/691, 124/963
Guards: 19/464, 63/451, 141/505

Slovaks were predominantly Catholic (except for Veľká) and Germans were Evangelicals.

Censuses of Hungary in 1880 and 1910
Population censuses in Hungary determined, among other things, the ethnic structure of the population. However, the residents did not answer what their nationality was, but what their mother's or the most used language. The vast majority of citizens of Jewish nationality at the end of Hungary claimed Hungarian nationality, to a lesser extent German and rarely Slovak.

1919-1940
Germans made up 19.7% of the population in the Poprad district in 1930, while in Slovakia only 4.6%. Even in 1921, Slovaks did not form the majority even in Poprad (47.7%) and only a small majority in Spišská Sobota and Stráže (50.1% and 56.6, respectively). Only Veľká (63.6%) had a Slovak character. In 1919, the towns of Poprad had a total of 7,895 inhabitants, of which 47.8% were Slovaks and 41.% Germans. In 1921, Germans made up 24% of the Poprad district, but by 1940 their share had dropped to 13.5%.

Slovaks did not form the majority in Matejovce even in 1940 (33%), which remained a German town (56.0%). In the other Poprad towns, the proportion of Germans gradually decreased until 1940 (from 13% in Veľká, through 14% in Spišská Sobota and 15.4% in Poprad, to 25% in Strážy). However, before the end of the Second World War and shortly after it, almost all Germans left the Spiša region, and therefore also the five Poprad towns.

The religious composition of the population also corresponded to this, when Roman Catholics made up 60.5% and Evangelicals a. in. 26.8%.

1945 - present
The population grew rapidly after the Second World War (from 12,000 in 1949 to 55,000 in 1991). The evicted Germans were gradually replaced by Slovaks, and in the city centers often unadaptable citizens from the settlements (mostly Roma). The city of Poprad, like the whole of Spiš, lost its multi-ethnic character and became Slovak territory, with a strong Roma minority.

The present
According to the population census from 1991, 63.2% of the population subscribed to one of the religious beliefs, in 2001, 79.26%. According to the population census from 2001, 65.90% joined the Roman Catholic Church, Evangelical and. in. 7.31%, Greek Catholic 3.73% and Orthodox 0.80% of the city's population. 16.82% have no religion and 3.92% did not state their religion.

In the same year, 94.14% of Poprad residents claimed Slovak nationality, 2.09% Roma, 1.00% Czech, 0.23% Hungarian and 0.21% German.

 

Sports and recreation

Football/ soccer

Each of the city districts has its own football stadium. The largest (also with stands) are in Poprad and Veľká. An extensive reconstruction of the main football stadium, which is located near the AquaCity water park, is currently being planned. The football club FK Poprad is a participant of the 3rd League East, which represents the third highest football league in Slovakia. Interest in youth football is still growing.

 

Hockey

Hockey has been played in Poprad since the 1930/31 season. The first two "practice" matches were played by Poprad against ŠKVT on January 22 and 29, 1931 with the results 0:14 and 0:6. In the press of the time, it is stated that the hockey players from Poprad played under the banner of the Poprad Athletic Club (PAC). The first "official" home match, already for the public, was played by Poprad under the banner of the Karpathenverein against LTC Pilsen on February 1, 1931. Poprad also played the rest of the first season under the banner of the Karpathenverein. Already in the following season (1931/32), Poprad hockey players were definitively anchored in PAC, as one of the branches of this sports club, under the name Hockey Club (HC) Poprad. Poprad entered organized Slovak hockey in 1931. However, in the 1931/32 season, Poprad did not advance to the finals of the East Slovak County Championship of the Czechoslovak Canadian Hockey Association over Slavia Prešov. In the seasons 1932/33 – 1934/35 he won 3 titles "Master of Slovakia". In 1935, HC Tatry (chairman Viliam Šimko) was formed by the merger of Poprad and Tatra hockey, which was renamed Sokol Tatra Poprad in 1948 and TJ Tatran Tatranské píly Poprad in 1950. The artificial ice surface was not built until February 22, 1958 (until then, the ice often melted, so the training place for the hockey players was the Five Spišské plies in the Little Cold Valley in the High Tatras). Hockey players Lokomotiva-Vagónka-Stavbár (LVS) Poprad (chairman Ladislav Gromovský) have been able to play in an indoor hall since 1973. Since 1976, the people of Poprad have performed under the name Lokomotiva Stavbár (chairman František Babinec) and since 1978 they have been part of the Physical Education Unit (TJ) Pozemné constructions (PS) Poprad (chairman Michal Niňaj). In 1989, PS Poprad merged with ČH Poprad. In 1990, the HC Sports Club of the Police Land Constructions (ŠKP PS) Poprad was founded (chairman Jozef Parížek). Currently, the HK Poprad hockey team plays matches of the Slovak hockey extra league in the renovated Poprad Arena. In May 2022, the city of Poprad also opened a new training hall, which is located right next to the winter stadium.

 

Hockey ball

The HK Ims-East Popradský Piráti Poprad team has been a participant in the Slovak men's hockey extraleague since the 2021/2022 season.

 

Swimming

A modern swimming pool was located near the winter stadium, on the border of the wider city center and Spišská Sobota. In 2003, it began to be comprehensively rebuilt into the AquaCity swimming pool. The pools are filled with thermal water from a nearby geothermal well.

 

Basketball

Poprad has always been among the top women's basketball in Slovakia. The first basketball hoops in Poprad were created in 1946 at the Business Academy. In 1965, the teenage girls advanced to the Slovak teenage league and gradually won many titles of champions of Slovakia and Czechoslovakia. In 1964, as the winner of the regional competition, the basketball players advanced to SNL. The players reached the I. league in 1981. The girls took fourth place during their promotion to the extra league in the 2002/2003 season. They finished the 2003/2004 season in 3rd place, which they defended in the following season as well. Currently, the Poprad Youth Basketball Academy club plays its home matches in a multi-purpose hall (Aréna Poprad), which was opened in 2006 in the Juh III housing estate.

 

Cycling

The surroundings of Poprad are also suitable for bicycle tours. The most demanding ones lead through the forest roads of the High Tatras or Goat's backs to the Low Tatras. Individual routes and their level of difficulty are marked on tourist maps. Between Poprad and Svit there is a bicycle path over 6 km long, which starts behind Poprad (at the shooting range), leads past the JUH III housing estate in Poprad to the town of Svit, where it continues to Lopušná dolina and along a dirt road to Šuňava. On Náměstí sv. Egidia is a created cycle route. It is planned to complete the construction of the cycle path, which will connect to the already existing cycle path in the square, and will continue through the wider city center, i.e. j. through townships and housing estates.

In 1999, the city of Poprad hosted the jubilee 50th Cyclocross World Championships, which took place on the circuit in nearby Spišská Teplica.

 

Inline skating

The bicycle path between Svit and Poprad is suitable for skating, but it is primarily a bicycle path, the purpose of which is stated in the ordinance on traffic on land roads. Currently, however, it is mainly used by skaters, precisely because of its very good surface and flat character with only a very small elevation gain. It is for this reason that cyclists mainly use a large number of cycling routes around the city of a natural nature, which are suitable even for demanding cyclists and stand out due to the variety of surfaces and the surrounding natural scenery.

 

Skiing

In the vicinity of Poprad there are many ski resorts in the High Tatras (Tatranská Lomnica (9.15 km of slopes), Starý Smokovec (4.42 km of slopes), Štrbské Pleso (5.32 km of slopes)), in Svita (Lopušná dolina (1, 8 km of slopes), Skitatry Lopušná dolina (1.25 km of slopes)), Spišské Bystro (1.1 km of slopes) or Liptovská Teplička (3.3 km of slopes).

 

Hotels and accommodation

There are many hotels in Poprad - AquaCity Moutain View, AquaCity Seasons, Satel, Poprad, Tatra, Café Razy, Gerlach, Europe. Other accommodation options are offered by dozens of smaller guesthouses, the best of which are located in the Spišská Sobota and Veľká parts (Pension Pod Bránou, Vila Pod Bránou, Penzión Fortuna, Penzión Aqualand, Penzión Sabato).

 

Economy and infrastructure

Poprad is a dynamic and modern city with good infrastructure.

 

City transport

There is no electric traction for trams or trolleybuses in Poprad, public transport is provided by buses. SAD Poprad operates eight lines (Line 1 (Poprad).svg, Line 2 (Poprad).svg, Line 3 (Poprad).svg, Line 4 (Poprad).svg, Line 5 (Poprad).svg, Line 6 (Poprad).svg, Line 7 (Poprad).svg and Line 8 (Poprad).svg). Buses usually run at half-hourly to hourly intervals (even less). A shortcoming that, among other things, slows down public transport is also buying tickets exclusively from the driver.

Since January 2018, the first electric bus produced in Slovakia has been running in Poprad. The range is 150 kilometers.

Network of roads
Poprad is located on the main road connecting the east and west of Slovakia - the E 50 road, which runs along the route of the D1 highway.

The line between Poprad and Starý Smokovec is the second electric railway line in Slovakia (opened on 17 December 1908). The railway station underwent reconstruction and modernization (completion in 2008). Island platforms, an underpass, elevators were built and better movement for the physically disabled in a wheelchair was ensured.

 

Air Transport

Poprad-Tatry Airport was opened in 1938, but regular civil traffic only started in 1943. During the former Czechoslovakia, the airport was one of three international airports in the country.

It is the highest international airport in Central Europe (718 m above sea level), thanks to its geographical location it has extremely good weather conditions (it is often above the fog line), and so it is also used as a replacement airport for planes originally going to Košice, Sliač, Žilina or even Bratislava. The airport is used for both regular routes and sightseeing flights, charter flights mainly from Russia, Ukraine, Estonia and Germany in the winter and to sea destinations in the summer months, it is used by private and business aircraft from all over Europe, aero clubs and flying schools, it also serves as air ambulance medical service helicopter base. Currently, the only regular route operated by the Wizzair UK airline flies from Poprad airport two to three times a week to London - Luton airport.
