Abstract

The first polytechnic school in the Czech Lands, Koniglich-bohmische standische Lehranstalt zu Prag (royal Czech educational institution of the estates in Prague), was founded in Prague in 1806 in the manner of the Ecole polytechnique in Paris. It originated from the Standische Ingenieurschule in Prag (engineering school of the estates in Prague), which was established in 1707. At first, this polytechnic school was a part of the Karl-Ferdinand Universitat in Prag (Charles-Ferdinand university in Prague), but it became an independent school in 1815. Its first principal was Frantisek Josef Gerstner (1756–1832).
