The Battle of Domažlice was fought on August 14, 1431 as the part of the 5th crusade against Hussites. The crusade was sent to Bohemia after the negotiations in Pressburg and Cheb between Hussites and Emperor Sigismund had failed. The Imperial army besieged the city of Domažlice. However, the sight of the approaching singing Hussite army of Prokop the Bald scared the crusaders and they fled en masse through the Bohemian Forest. The Hussites chased and destroyed them.

Maquette voor √2-Omgang
For the exhibition Nieuw Beelden at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1965, Constant and (Nic) Tummers developed the construction T-T √2 circuit. The circuit is designed as a climbing frame for adults that sparks man’s slumbering creativity, or at least their playfulness. The T-T√2 circuit was provided with a set of directions for the installation. Amongst other things, it stated that the entrance and exit were the same in order to "encourage collisions."
