The Church of St. John of Nepomuk at Štěchovice
Fatková, Markéta ; Novotná, Eva (advisor) ; Bydžovská, Lenka (referee)
The Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice There are not many Art Nouveau constructions in Bohemia. One of them is the Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice designed by the architect Kamil Hilbert.

In view of this fact it is interesting that neither the church nor the builder were devoted sufficient attention in the past. There are not many sources and literature available. Experts devoted their attention to Hilbert only in connection with the preservation of monuments the modernisation of which was his merit at the beginning. Hilbert's own creation remained on the edge of the interest, be it creation dating back to the end of the 19th century or the first decades of the 20th century. The aim of my work is to inform the readers about the personality of the architect Kamil Hilbert and to depict his most important construction, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk in Štěchovice. I focused not only on the brief statement of data, but I tried to incorporate the life and creation of Hilbert also into broader connections, to mention the politic as well as...

Abstrakt_Diplomová práce_Kamil Hilbert, architekt - památkář.txt Kamil Hilbert, An Architect - Conservator The main terms: Kamil Hilbert, preservation of monuments, St. Vít's cathedral, historismus, secession Kamil Hilbert (*12. 2. 1869 Louny - †25. 6. 1933 Praha) was a Czech architect in the late 19th and early 20th century, most widely known as the last master builder of the St. Vít's cathedral in Prague. His work was mostly focused on historical monument preservation. At the same time, he worked as an architect and builder himself. He was not only creator and preservationist, but also an archeologist and, in its way, even an art historian. He published several interesting studies covering results of archeological excavations at building sites; he was also keen on art topography. Furthermore, he was one of the founding members of "Ústřední památková rada za české země", an agency established in 1911 in Wien whose mission was protection of historical monuments in Czech kingdom; he also acted as a supervisor and advisor at individual restoration projects. Working closely with an important Czech art historian Max Dvořák (a student of Riegel who introduced the modern historical monument preservation concepts), Hilbert built the foundations of modern historical monument preservation in the Czech lands.
