English Translation

- 3 - which could still be transferred to the rest of the administration, which, although 25 brought them the desired and desired benefit of being able to spend their whole life in Prague, on the other hand, made it difficult and slowed down their promotion over all masses, for all posts were firmly systematized. This caused an unimaginable intrigue to be found in the police department's official corps. Already the acceptance of the police service was preceded by a ruthless struggle, which continued from the moment of reaching such a post until the end of the service. The long exercise made the officials masters of intrigues and among such masters a sphinx nature could easily assert itself, because it protected the best because it presented the person as harmless. Here the character train Bie-nerts mentioned by Sadecky has its origin. He used B. When he became a member of the "Maffia", he was called "Pinguis Minerva" (with reference to his character and cumbersome behavior).The urge to intrigue accompanied, as I said, the police officers throughout their lives, by getting ready for the next one immediately after a promotion. Here is another feature of Bienert, mentioned by Sadecky: B. was prepared at all times to move from the police president to the state vice-president, then again from the president of the state to the minister - and as one fears - to the head of state. B. had always had sufficient autocracy to guess the moment which would mislead him, and to worry about having the right replacement at this moment. This was especially evident after the organisation of the Prague Police Directorate, which others had to carry out when Bienert's social allures could no longer cover up his organizational shortcomings: in due course he was satisfied with the national vice-president, since he could not "destroy" anything there, but at the same time acquire the training to become the president of the state. He always knew how to cover his shortcomings with social goodwill and jokes (the "President of the Court") to a large extent. Sadecky B. correctly describes as a partyless party, since B. was never organized in a political way.
