Promotion and education
To increase the knowledge and education of the hop
growers, an expert magazine called "Hospodářsko-
chmelařský věstník," The Economic-hop growing
Bulletin, was issued in 1894, which was later renamed
"Chmelařské listy," Hop growing papers. In 1927,
the expert hop growing magazine called "Český
chmelař," Czech Hop Grower developed from this
magazine, which is still being issued today as an
expert periodical since 1953, known under the slightly
edited name of "Chmelařství," Hop Growing. On their
website, they publish original expert and scientific
works, news, messages, and essential or engaging
information dedicated to all aspects of this field.
2. Description In 1895, the Winter Agronomic School was established

in Žatec, mainly for future hop growing experts. The
name was derived from the seasonal nature of the
school since the school year started on the 1 of
st
November and ended on the 31 of October, which
st
was a rule up until 1954. The school still operates
in Žatec today; it is one of the most important
124
educational centres in the region in the fields of
agriculture, ecology, and environmental protection.
It continues to maintain the hop growing tradition,
its good reputation being connected to the founding
of hop fields. It is located in the buffer zone of the
property as one of several "secondary attributes."

The long tradition of education concerning the hop heritage is focused also on pupils
of the primary schools organized by Hop Museum Žatec, 2008
