The Lokalzeitung of Bohemia 21/7/1850 published news of the arrival in Prague of the Archduchess Sophie at the station by a private train. She was met by the Archdukes Albrecht and Leopold, by the Governor, the Regional President, the Commandant of the City and Fortress [i.e. the Castle], and by many officers. A company of the [Infantry] Regiment of Dom Miguel paraded and its musical ensemble played the Volkshymne.
