Grabenbummel- The walk on Příkopy
Smrček, David ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
(in English): "Grabenbummel", a walk of the German Studentenverbindungen in couleur, was one of the most significant displays of a national war over Prague and its public space. Four times between 1898 and 1912 the "bummel" gave opportunity for unrest and riots in the city. Not only it became a political topic, a reason for conflicts between Czech and Germans in the media, Bohemian Diet and Imperial Council, but also a very serious problem for the state and its offices to solve. Based on Czech and German press and archive resources from Národní Archiv České republiky and Österreichisches Staatsarchiv, I am presenting the creation, evolution, and the politicization of the custom. I examined the four main years of the riots, finding multiple important topics, and analyzing some of them in the last chapter. I complemented the thesis with the poems from the press of the Burschenschaften, as well as Czech and German anecdotes and caricatures.

The December riots 1897 in Prague
Smrček, David ; Pokorná, Magdaléna (advisor) ; Hlavačka, Milan (referee)
(in English): In my work I tried to describe genesis and progress of Prague december riots in 1897. Uprising took place in days between 29. 11. - 2. 12. and they were marked by their violence, antisemitism and rapid growth. Their end was caused by declaration of martial law in afternoon of 2. december. Except the description of events of every of four days was I looking for their common and different tendencies, and I tried to portray the spread of the demonstrations to surrounding districts and find out, if they had a leader, or were just uncontrolled masses. Further I've been trying to process the reflections of december riots in 1897 in political press. For this part I've been using Prague Czech and German liberal, realistic and social democratic newspapers. Specifically I've examined daily press Národní listy, Prager Tagblatt, Bohemia, Právo lidu and weekly press Čas. I supplied my work with illustrations from Pražský ilustrovaný kurýr as well as with caricatures from Šípy.
