Klasická studia na německé Karlo-Ferdinandově univerzitě v Praze v letech 1882–1918
Classical Studies at German Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague in 1882–1918

Summary/Abstract: When the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague split into two independent universities (Czech and German) united only through the name (while the German branch saw itself as a successor of the studium generale founded by Charles IV.), several changes in staff at the Department of Classical Studies were made. Two chairs of classical philology were steadily held by full professors Carl Holzinger von Weidich and Alois Rzach, the third one changing the holder more frequently (Otto von Keller, Otto Plasberg, Alfred Klotz). Students were introduced to the history of ancient Greece and Rome by professors O. Benndorf, O. Hirscheld, W. Klein, J. Jung and H. Swoboda. Life and research work of these classical philologists, archeologists and ancient history professors are examined between the years 1882 and 1918 when one period not only of Czech history but also of Charles University (its German branch) moved toward its end.
