Wikipedia description:
Hodonín (Czech pronunciation: [ˈɦodoɲiːn]; German: Göding) is a town in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 23,000 inhabitants. The town is located on the Morava River in the Lower Morava Valley, on the border with Slovakia. Hodonín was founded in the 11th century and became a town in 1228. However, it began to grow significantly only in the 19th century due to industrialisation. Among the main landmarks of Hodonín are the Church of Saint Lawrence and the Art Nouveau town hall. The town is known as the birthplace of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia.
