Both names were used before 1926, the Czech Benešov and the German Bennisch. In that year "Horní" was added to the Czech name. Qertis 07:25, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

The story about Jews not being able to declare Yiddish as their tongue is very unlikely. Yiddish was not spoken in Moravia/Austrian Silesia except for the town of Nikolsburg (Mikulov).
