  • Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students a Word of Welcome from the Rector of Palacký University
    Life in Olomouc Guide for Summer Schools' Students A word of welcome from the Rector of Palacký University Since its foundation in 1573, the university in Olomouc has always re- cruited students and academics from many European countries. Due to the large number of foreign students we received, our university gradu- ally evolved into a genuinely multilingual academy with Latin, German and Czech being the dominant tongues. Despite the challenges of history and dramatic discontinuities of the past, in the twenty-first century our university still believes that internationalization renders an endless po- tential to enhance scientific excellence as well as the quality of research and academic training. Under my guidance, Palacký University has strong ambitions to become the most international educational institution in Central Europe in terms of cutting-edge research collaboration, joint and double degree study programs and the number of foreign students. How- ever, internationalization does not only involve headhunting and recruit- ing students across the globe. In doing so, we also receive important side benefits, namely cultural diversity, plurality of judgment and, above all, much needed dialogue and tolerance. I very much hope that in Palacký University you will find a friendly institution, supportive tutors and an in- tellectually stimulating academic environment.

  • Michaela Hojdysz Masaryk University, Brno Archduke Eugen of Austria-Teschen: Rebuilding and Conservation of the Bouzov Castle I
    VII International Forum for Doctoral Candidates in East European Art History organized by the Chair of East European Art History, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The Forum had been previously planned to take place on 30th April 2020, but has been suspended due to COVID 19 crisis. Michaela Hojdysz Masaryk University, Brno Archduke Eugen of Austria-Teschen: Rebuilding and Conservation of the Bouzov Castle in the Context of Collecting and Historic Preservation in Central Europe in the Late 19th Century After 1809, the Teutonic Order lost its property in the German countries due to the Napoleonic Wars, together with the main seat in Mergentheim. This event caused a relocation of the Order’s seat to Vienna, and subsequently, the importance of the property in Northern Moravia increased, which belonged to the Order from the end of the 17th century. The Bruntal Caste had become an important administrative centre, and also the Bouzov Castle got its importance in the resident network. For the late 19th century, the Teutonic Order envisioned to bring back the great eras of the knightly Order’s past. The leading figure at this time was Grandmaster Eugen of Austria- Teschen (1863 – 1954), who was part of the Order since 1887 when he became a coadjutor under the leadership of his uncle Wilhelm. After he took hold of the office, he decided to rebuild the Order’s centres, especially the ruins of Bouzov Castle in Moravia, recreating it into the Order’s summer residence and made it the centrepiece of the envisioned revival. I want to focus on the ideological background of the rebuilding connected with the collecting and historic preservation, not only on the final form of the building.

Games will be played against local competition carefully selected to provide enjoyable, competitive games - may include stops in some or all of: CZECH REPUBLIC For most visitors to the Czech Republic all roads lead no farther than Prague, the most westernized, cosmopolitan city, known for its wondrous charm and stunning beauty. Fewer than 10% of tourists explore the country outside of the capital. If you really wish to discover the richness of this immensely cultured nation, however, venturing beyond Prague will be very rewarding. The magnificent, undulating landscape consists of mountains and upland plains, forests and farmland. Thanks to the fact that the country was spared widespread destruction during World War II, many of its cities and towns are a visual feast of medieval, baroque and art nouveau architecture and sculpture. Bohemian spa towns and sleepy Moravian wine villages alike have a historical integrity and welcoming atmosphere that gives you the feeling of being immersed in an open-air museum. The country also boasts over 100 castles -- from craggy fortresses to more refined, aristocratic chateaus -- that are open to the public. Today, venturing off the beaten path no longer means leaving comfort and service behind. The number and quality of restaurants and hotels in large and small towns alike has soared over the past five years, attracting more visitors while remaining relaxed and uncrowded.
