English Translation

81 strong domestic power were given. Bühmen becomes the central landscape of the empire; Karl resides in Prague; Prague becomes the cultural center of the kingdom and receives the first German Reich University. The German imperial crown, preserved on Karlstein Castle, is once a year shrieked in Prague and the people hurried from far away to celebrate this day and to worship the crown. In the following period, the common influence of spiritual currents on the German and the Czech people in his followers continues to be evident. It is the ara of the confessional formation. As the forerunner of the Reformation rises in Bühmen Hus and Hussitentum, at the same time a strong social movement grows. The emergence of a Czech petty-bourgeois and craftsmanship in the originally entirely German cities is beginning; the Bohemian nobility, frightened by the economic and political misinterpretation of the German city's citizens, takes place a clear turn towards the Slavic consciousness. The connection between re-awakening state-awesome power and Hussite, later Protestant attitude, forms the key to understanding the time from the beginning of the l5th to the start of the I7th century. The nobility becomes oppositional and counter-player of the newly-arriving absolutism. Despite the sharpest German hostility of Hussitism, however, it has not been able to maintain itself against the Empire politically. Sigismund is confirmed as King of Bohemia and the "national Hussite King" Georg von Podiebrad describes himself as the "First Elector of the Empire". Of course, all the problems that are now arising extend to Bohemia as well as to the state and legal reordering of the whole empire.
