There may be maps in Heimat literature for Maehrisch Truebau. It will reflect the "most recent" numbers for each house. Write to one or more of the Heimat libraries in Germany and ask if there is a map of the city showing house numbers in any of the Heimat books. One Edress for a library is: Bibliothek@hdhbw.BWL.de It is OK to write in English and the reply will com in English if you do. Houses were originally numbered for central administration around 1770 but they were known by a number in manorial records predating that year. They were renumbered at least once but I don't recall when. Some numbers never changed, others did. What is important is to be sure that the map of house numbers you use shows the number at the time the ancestor lived in the house. If the ancestor left Moravia before 1880, be sure to tell the year to the librarian. There may be another source for a map of house numbers during that time.
