24-1a The Langemarckhaus of the German students in Prague Friß Gasde, head of the Studentenwerk Prague The LangeMarckhaus, which is now being handed over to the public, has witnessed a great deal of the Prague student history and thus the history of Germanism in this city at all. In 1898, a German savings bank in Prague bought the old "Grand Hotel" in the then IMNariengasse on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the Emperor Franz Josef's government. It was designated as a foundation for poor students. In 1938, the house was built and enlarged in the wake of hard work and had 48o living space. Since the establishment of the Czech rule in Bohemia, this building has been a frequently fought German position. If today the small swer- entrenched entrances find large light glass doors different, then it also comes to Ausdruek that in future we will no longer have to expect a siege of German student houses in Prague. After the construction of the Protectorate, it was no longer reasonable for the German student to continue living in the poor quarters of the past. Lüżowgasse 38, with its extensive building in the middle of Prague, was the suitable house to create a new modern student house, which meets all the requirements of the present day, by means of a generous installation. Troż's greatest difficulties, caused by the war and the extremely hard winters, could be completed to the planned extent.
