history
In 1775, teaching of the Czech language and literature was introduced at the University of Vienna (as the first modern language alongside German). The University of Vienna thus has the oldest university bohemian studies in the world. For this was Josef Valentin Zlobický from Velehrad called, who worked out also the first draft of a study of all Slavic languages. In 1849 the Institute for Slavic Philology was founded at the university, the first professor was Franz Miklosich .
The institute was soon able to establish itself as a research center (thanks in part to its location in Vienna as the center of the Habsburg monarchy ). In 1822 the founding work of academic research on Church Slavonic appeared in Vienna , the Institutiones linguae Slavicae dialecti veteris by Josef Dobrovský , and in 1954 the Old Church Slavonic grammar by Nikolai Sergejewitsch Trubetzkoy . In addition, two Slavic journals were created in Vienna : the Wiener Slavistische Jahrbuch (since 1950) and the Wiener Slawistische Almnach (since 1978, currently published at the Institute for Slavic Studies at the University of Munich ).
