Charles IV had once failed to draw on the Czech forces of the country and pave the way for them to advance. He had gone so far that the so far strong influx of German blood into these countries and their untapped cultural and economic fields began to ebb rapidly. But because on the other hand all the Waldenses, Picards and other "heretics" came up in this collective lens of the empire against the ruling church and the narrowing dogmatism from all parts of the kingdom, the anarchic forces in Czechism had an easy play. Cheap and quick, keywords from the German disputes could be borrowed and transformed into flags and symbols, among which all elements of disorder, destruction and economic looseness were gathered. The results of these 15 Hussite storm years against the Reich, however, gave the strikers themselves the complete devaluation of Bohemia as a member of the Reich to almost one hundred years, the extensive relaxation of the rich and defence-like German fringe landscapes from the League of Bohemia, the destruction of the economic power in the city and mine, the widespread desolation of the Czech peasant country. All this, however, had to be sacrificed without a bearing idea, a creative state concept, being a work of this Hussite period that had worked for centuries. It was a fruitless rebellion against the empire, which the rebels themselves significantly weakened. The German departure The grandchildren of the generation of fighters in Germany, who had once fought against the Hussite rebellion, unleashed a completely different storm around 1500. They still had in their memory weakness of the empire from the un-happy battles in Bohemia and Poland. The impotence of emperors and empire dominated the impressions of their youth years. From their feuds, defenceful cities, belligerent scholar's rooms and artist's workshops, a fresh thought flowed. Even today, unbroken through all the centuries, the great German panel paintings of Albrecht Altdorfer from Augsburg and Albrecht Dürer from Nuremberg still work. The masters Matthias Grünewald, the one on the Rhine, and Veit Stück, who created on the Vistula, and the other late-Gothic painters, sculptors and builders, acted consciously and emphasized for their German people. However, they were moved by the view of a though romantic empire idea that seemed to embody itself in the young knightly emperor Maximilian. Their woodcuts and copper engravings, such as the "Ritter, Death and Devil", were bought at the fair by the broad strata of the bourgeoisie and peasantry as well as the tracts and booklets in the new book-printing art, in which scholars and poets wrote full revolutionary momentum against the alienation of the people. Dr. Paracelsus worked his new teaching building of German medicine, in the same way the geologist Agricola opened the nature of the arch veins in the mountains to the German miner. In these years, however, the legal order of the German peasant village was often fought with fire and sword, and was then fought for far to the east as the basis for the liberation of the peasants within the framework of the other 12
