The Zeis Family in Tábor Public Life
DĚDIČOVÁ, Pavla
The bachelor work "The Zeis Family in Tábor Public Life" records the history of the town of Tábor in the second half of 19th century. It describes town gradual urbanization and industrialization and at the same time the work tries to refer to the influence of the elite Tábor family. The Zeis family belonged indisputably to the most noticeable Tábor families. Its most important members were Jakub and Emanuel Zeis, father and son, who were involved in Tábor public life since the beginning of the second half of 19th century. Jakub was the first self-governing Mayor of the town in 1850 {--} 1870 and Emanuel was the third Mayor in 1883 {--} 1889. Subsequently he was made the head of the district and worked as the district Mayor until he died. In the course of more then fifty years Tábor developed essentially: there has been established Tábor secondary education system, the town became an important South-Bohemian transport junction and industry grew too. During these days the town formed as an exclusively Czech self-governing centre. New societies were being founded, the famous Hussite history was remembered and there has been built a number of monuments to commemorate national heroes. The turning point period around year 1918 concludes the bachelor work. Not only because Emanuel Zeis died in this year but also because of the fact, that year 1918 closes one phase of the national history. The last Chapter describes the town and Zeis family from point of view of an outstanding native of Tábor Emanuel Chalupný. This part of the bachelor work contrasts with the rest of the work as attitude of Emanuel Chalupný to the Zeis Family is really impossibly to be assessed as positive.
