Biography of the Governor Franz Thun
Project goals
The object of this project is the analytical description of the activities of Franz Thun as the leading representative of the Bohemian "historical", conservative aristocracy. For his first period as Governor of Bohemia (1889-1896) the most important event was his attempt of the settlement of the problems in the relations of the Czechs with the Habsburg dynasty by the coronation of Franz Joseph for the King of Bohemia in Prague. During his second period as Governor in Prague he began with the attempt ofthe political settlement between Czechs and Germans in Bohemia and since the beginning of the war in July 1914 he was fighting against the attempts to introduce the military dictatorship in Bohemia. The most important source for his biography are his papers and the papers of his relatives in the State District Archive in Děčín. These 79 cartoons contain first class sources for the history of the Habsburg Monarchy between the 1880ies and the World War I.
