Das goldene Zeitalter der tschechischen Selbstverwaltung 1848-1918

'The Golden Age of Czech Self-Government 1849-1918': The book describes the emergence and activities of Czech self-government during the 'golden age' from 1848 to 1918 at three levels: municipal, district, and land/country. It also addresses the relationship to Bohemian state law, national education, bureaucratic language usage, homeland law, rural transport infrastructure, healthcare, and the embezzlement and disappearance of municipal property. Self-government was a highly developed civil-administrative instrument in Bohemia and was considered a school of liberal and later democratic attitudes, playing a key role in the development of Czech society into a modern and literate nation.
