Summary/Abstract: This study outlines the position of German universities in the Czech Lands after the Munich Agreement on the secession of Czech border areas of 30 September 1938. A short introduction explains the situation in the autumn of 1938, when various German officials issued a number of proclamations and memorial volumes in which they expressed their views on the subject of German schools either remaining in their current locations or moving to the ceded areas (Liberec/Reichenberg), eventually even to occupied Austria (Linz). The core of this study consists of an edition of four documents from October and November 1938, in the original German version, which are presented to the public for the very first time in extenso.
