Prag (Groß-Deutschland)

Prag (Praha, see also other names) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Bohemia. Nicknames for Prague have included "the mother of cities" (Praga mater urbium, or "Praha matka měst" in Czech), "city of a hundred spires", or Stověžatá Praha in Czech and "the golden city" or Zlaté město in Czech.

Situated on the River Vltava in central Bohemia, Prag has been the political, cultural, and economic centre of the German (formerly Czech) states for more than 1100 years. For many decades during the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors and thus was also the capital of the Holy Roman Empire.
