Summary/Abstract: The pluricultural situation in Bohemia between 1900 and 1939 was articulated among others by intellectuals who, as translators, organizers and publicists, mediated in diverse constellations between linguistically, nationally, religiously, socially, politically and aesthetically different cultural complexes. This paper reflects on the possibilities of conceptually grasping this form of mediation between Czech and German culture – in relation to the frequent use of “bridge” metaphors in the context of this mediation, and in relation to today’s theoretical debates as well as statements from the time by Otokar Fischer, Otto Pick, Max Brod and Rudolf Fuchs.
