OSTRAVA - In search for the black steel heart of Czech Republic "Ostrava used to be the pride of Czech socialism. Today Ostrava is an industrial town without industry. As a new member of the European Union, the city is struggling with ecological, economical and social problems. But the 'black steel heart' is still pounding: The communist and industrial past is still present, young and creative people appreciate the raw energy and the unique atmosphere of this lively city. Ostrava is an important but nonetheless forgotten piece of the Czech identity." text: Felix Schnetzer 2003
