Page "Charles University in Prague" Paragraph 20

Even before the Austro-Hungarian Empire was abolished in late 1918, to be succeeded by Czechoslovakia, Czech politicians demanded that the insignia of 1348 were exclusively to be kept by the Czech university.

The Act No. 197 / 1919 Sb.

z. a n. established the Protestant theological faculty, but not as a part of the Charles University which is since 10 May 1990 Charles University faculty.

In 1920 the so-called Lex Mareš ( No. 135 / 1920 Sb.

z. a n .) was issued, named for its initiator professor of physiology František Mareš, determining that the Czech university was to be the successor to the original university.

Dropping the Habsburg name Ferdinand, it designated itself Charles University, while the German university was not named.
