- 3 - German Mittel- uhd universities in the area of the republic demanded ", strongly in demand. The first all-state Catholic day in Prague 1935 saw him prominently in the organizational leadership. On this occasion especially the Catholic clergy became aware of the strictly Catholic and in his attitude almost bigott-seeming Schwarzenberg. As a member of one of the most important nobility families of Bohemia, Schwarzenberg showed himself to be accessible to monarchist-legitimistic thought and aspirations early on. In June 1936, after a long stay in England with Otto von Habs-burg in Sternokezeel, he announced that, as he told the suspicious tśchechi envoy in Brussels, he would tell the Archduke that he was mistakenly informed if he suspected that he had followers under the nobility in the Czechoslovakia; it would also be a serious mistake, in his opinion, if the archduke were to be seduced by his Austrian followers into an overhasty action. On the same grounds, a few days later, also coming from England, another representative of the Czech high aristocracy joined Otto von Habsburg. The Czech envoy in Brussels at that time rightly accepted that "the coincidence of these visits in connection with the increased monarchist propaganda in Austria is certainly a phenomenon worthy of attention". For the further suspicion expressed by the Czech envoy that the visits of the two nobles to England could be linked to the interest expressed at the time by Foreign Minister Eden in matters of Central Europe, there will probably have been important reasons. With a number of other members of the Czech nobility, Schwarzenberg took the lead in the Czech Path Finderbund "Junak", which was largely under English influence and deliberately promoted Anglophile tendencies in Czech youth. As a central functionary and head of the mental abbey of Junak, Schwarzberg was the focus of these efforts. ==References====External links==*Official website
