Gustav Mahler spent the first months of his life in Kaliště, a hamlet four kilometres from Humpolec, before his family moved to nearby Jihlava. A memorial plaque marks the house, and the connection to the composer surfaces occasionally in local cultural programming, though Humpolec makes no great claims on the association.
Located in the Vysočina Region along the D1 motorway corridor between Prague and Brno, Humpolec has a population of about 11,000. The town grew around textile manufacturing from the 18th century onward, and several former factory buildings remain in the urban fabric. Bernard brewery, founded locally in 1597, produces beer distributed across the country and exports to several European markets.
