The capital of the Czech Republic was for centuries a multicultural city where Bohemian (Czech), German and Jewish culture met and inspired one another. In 1348 Charles University was founded here, the oldest university in Central Europe. It arose at a time when, under Charles IV and his son Wenceslaus IV, Prague flourished as an imperial seat of the Holy Roman Empire. In the course of the nineteenth century, too, Prague saw a notable cultural revival. Emil Sax taught here at Charles University from 1879. In 1893 he eventually retired, after Eugen von Philippovich had been preferred to him for the appointment to the second chair alongside Carl Menger at the University of Vienna. Friedrich von Wieser, too, was a professor at Charles University from 1884 until he took over Carl Menger's chair in Vienna in 1901. During the First World War, Hans Mayer was an associate professor here at the German Institute of Technology. From the mid-1920s, Franz Xaver Weiss taught both at the German Institute of Technology and, on the side, at the German University in Prague.
