Hradeczky was born in Ljubljana (now Slovenia).[1][6] He served as the mayor of Ljubljana from 1820 until his death.[1][6] Hradeczky contributed significantly to the development of Ljubljana,[1] and the poet France Prešeren dedicated a sonnet to him.[7]

Legacy

[edit]

Infrastructure in Ljubljana named after Hradeczky includes Hradeczky Street (Slovene: Hradeckega cesta) in the southeast part of the city and the Hradeczky Bridge (Slovene: Hradeckega most) across the Ljubljanica River.[7]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Regarding Hradeczky's surname, Slovene sources vary between the spellings Hradeczky and Hradecky. Regarding his given name, sources often used the abbreviation Joh. Nep. (as on his grave marker); older Slovene sources Slovenized his name as Ivan, and later ones as Janez. His death record reads Johann Nepom. Hradeczky.[5]
