Žatec and the Landscape of Saaz Hops
This cultural landscape has been shaped for centuries by the living tradition of cultivating and trading the world’s most renowned hop variety, used in beer production around the globe. The property includes particularly fertile hop fields near the river Ohře that have been farmed continuously for hundreds of years, as well as historic villages and buildings used for processing hops. The urban component of the property is represented by the medieval centre of Žatec with its southern extension, known as the “Prague Suburb” (Pražské předměstí) including numerous specific 19th to 20th-century industrial structures. Together, these illustrate the evolution of the agro-industrial processes and socio-economic system of growing, drying, certifying, and trading hops from the Late Middle Ages to the present.
扎泰茨及萨兹啤酒花景观
这里有着世界最知名的、用于全球啤酒生产的啤酒花品种，其种植和交易历经数个世纪，已经发展成为这里的活态传统，进而塑造了当地的文化景观。该遗产包括奥赫热河附近极为肥沃、得到数百年持续耕种的啤酒花田，以及从事啤酒花加工的古老村庄及其建筑物。城市元素则包括扎泰茨的中世纪中心，和该城于19-20世纪扩展的工业新区。新区被称作“布拉格郊区”。以上区域共同展示了啤酒花的种植、干燥、认证和交易方面的农工进程和社会经济体系从中世纪晚期至今的演变。
