Josef Redlich, liberal scholar in the times of crisis
Koluch, Petr Vilém ; Šedivý, Ivan (referee)
This thesis covers the personality of Josef Redlich, a university professor and a member of the House of Deputies of the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Council representing Moravia, who was appointed the Austrian Minister of Finance at difficult times. His extensive estate allows us to understand the Austrian society and follow its social transformation. The purpose of the research project focused on Josef Redlich is to provide a comprehensive analysis of social phenomena in the years 1848-1918, which led to the disintegration of the monarchy and the establishment of individual republican states. The thesis comprises three story lines. The first part of the thesis, conceived from the perspective of cultural history, seeks to find a link between the birth of the modernist movement and the rise and fall of the liberal regime in Austria- Hungary. It describes the rise of the bourgeois class, the Jewish patriarchy and the Redlichs, a South Moravian business family, together with the story of Josef Redlich. It also presents the relation of bourgeoisie to art and its role of the bearer of cultural and social transformation in the 19th century. Based on the study of the results of Austrian researchers and recognised personalities from the field of cultural history, the thesis aims to introduce social changes...

The influence of Wagner's school on the architecture of south Moravia
Koluch, Petr Vilém ; Macek, Petr (advisor) ; Biegel, Richard (referee)
This thesis addresses the issue of forming thoughts of Viennese modernists, in particular their expression in architecture represented by the Otto Wagner School, and their influence on the South Moravian environment. The first part of the thesis, conceived from the perspective of cultural heritage, seeks to find a link between the birth of the modernist movement and the rise and fall of the liberal regime in Austria-Hungary. It presents the relation of bourgeoisie to art and its role of the bearer of cultural and social transformation in the 19th century. Based on the study of the results of Austrian researchers and recognised personalities from the field of cultural history, the thesis aims to introduce social changes taking place in the Austrian society at the end of the 19th century as well as their reflection in arts to the Czech reader. The indisputable leader of the artistic transition was Otto Wagner, whose architectural work and, in particular, teaching activities were behind the origin of modern architecture. Among his students were numerous incomers from Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia. Researchers currently devote a great deal of attention to young "Wagnerians" such as Josef Hoffmann, Leopold Bauer or Jan Kotěra but, although the work of these eminent persons is known, this area is little...

Dr. Joseph Redlich, the representative of moravian Germans
Koluch, Petr Vilém ; Hlavačka, Milan (advisor) ; Velek, Luboš (referee)
This thesis covers the personality of Josef Redlich, a university professor and a member of the House of Deputies of the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Council representing Moravia, who was twice appointed the Austro-Hungarian Minister of Finance at difficult times. His extensive estate allows us to understand the Austrian society and follow its social transformation. The purpose of the research project focused on Josef Redlich is to provide a comprehensive analysis of social phenomena, which led to the disintegration of the monarchy and the establishment of individual republican states. However, this thesis covers only the period from 1848 to 1914. The thesis comprises two story lines. The one line describes the rise of the bourgeois class, the Jewish patriarchy and the Redlichs, a South Moravian business family, together with the story of Friedrich and Josef Redlich. The other line focuses on the rise of mass political parties and nationalism - it tries to find the explanation whether the symbolic disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was caused by liberalism rather than nationalism considering the fact that liberalism on the one hand led to an unprecedented growth of the Austrian economy and on the other hand helped to dismantle the old Catholic feudal system which held the monarchy together. The...
