Hošťálkovice is a borough and municipal part of the city of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. It is situated in the northern part of the city, above the confluence of Oder and Opava rivers, on their left bank. Originally, it was a separate municipality, until it merged with Ostrava in April 1976.[2] On 24 November 1990, it became one of the 23 self-governing boroughs of Ostrava.[3]
Etymology
The name is derived from the German given name Gottschalk, meaning 'God's servant'. The name was later adapted into Czech as Hoščálek or Hošťálek, and by adding the possessive suffix -ovice, it became Hošťálkovice, meaning "Hošťálek's settlement".[4]
