Architect Otto Rothmayer and his realization for Prague castle
Bejšovcová, Kristýna ; Sojka, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Czumalo, Vladimír (referee)
This work deals with realizations of Otto Rothmayer in the Prague Castle, where we can find the most significant pieces of his lifelong work. It will be chronologically divided by several life periods, initially starts from collaboration with Josiph Plečnik, then his own works and at the end the post-war period. Otto Rothmayer was a modest and almost inconspicuous man, maybe it's just one of the reasons why haven't been written any respectable monographs about him. He was very conscientious and he didn't try to enforce his own inventions or historical styles into the reconstructed architecture, without affecting it. Always, already standing architecture, was precedence over his abilities, therefore is his piece so unique and harmonic. I would like to try to focus on brilliantly performed renovation of the Terezian wing (in the meaning of timelessness), which got after putting spindle staircase completely new dimension. Otto Rothmayer excelled with the talent to insert his pragmatic, sometimes almost cool effect objects into the vibrant history of the Prague Castle with a unique intuition of one of the best architects of the modern era.

Otto Rothmayer
Bejšovcová, Kristýna ; Czumalo, Vladimír (advisor) ; Šmied, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis is a monograph of the architect Otto Rothmayer. The analysis focuses on the symbiotic cooperation with his fellow architect Josip Plečnik at the Prague Castle, but also studies Rothmayer's other projects. Besides villas that Rothmayer designed for his friends, artistic blacksmith Otakar Hátle and sculptress Hana Wichterlová, the analysis will focus on the recently restored family villa of Božena and Otto Rothmayer in Střešovice, Prague. In addition to Rothmayer's architectural work, this thesis also studies Rothmayer's lifelong activity as a designer. By reflecting on this architect's various professional accomplishments, this thesis attempts to refine Otto Rothmayer's place in 20th century Czech architecture.
