Unreservedly with these figures all the support from other public funds, such as cities, districts, state governments and other ministries, e.g. Inland, external, war, trade, agriculture and welfare ministries, which are granted to the Czech Republic sport under the most prestigious titles. While these generous state loans allowed the Sokol to find gymnasiums and sports facilities as national castles in purely German territory, the German sport could no longer control a dangerous debt and a reduction in its possession in the economic situation which deteriorates from year to year.
