English Translation

/34 - 5 - Seminar were accommodated both the rooms of the German and Czech theological faculty. Kordač Archdiocese, in its capacity as builder of this priest_Seminar, made this building available to Catholic theologians of both nationalities for eternal times. In violation of these intentions of the founder, Kardi-nal Kašpar refused the house to the remaining German theologians in Prague after the separation of the Sudetengau in his Czech-Chauvinist attitude. The German theologians had to help themselves for a time, in emergency apartments, and a German theology study in the following period was almost completely before the collapse in Prague. Only the initiative of the Prague professor. Finally, it was due to the fact that an improvement occurred here and the current accommodation for German theology students in Prague-Veitsberg was found as an emergency solution. It corresponds to the justified German demand for reparation of wrongs that the old condition of earlier years is restored and the German theologians can again take their place alongside the Czechs in the seminary in Prague-Dewitz. On the German side, it was necessary to push for such a solution, also locally accurate, in line with the previous state and not to agree to premises elsewhere without this clear legal claim.
