Černohorský (1899)

Karel Černohorský (born February 24, 1861 in Prague ; † December 31, 1915 there ) was a Czech politician ( Young Czechs ) and lawyer. He was a member of the Austrian House of Representatives .

Life

Černohorský attended elementary school in Prague and then switched to a local high school. He studied law and opened his own law firm in Prague in 1892. He was Vice President of the Prague Municipal Savings Bank and Vice President of the Central Bank of Bohemian Savings Banks. As early as 1890, Černohorský and Jan Podlipný took part in demonstrations by the Young Czechs against Prime Minister Eduard Taaffe and subsequently belonged to the radical members of the Young Czech party. He became a member of the Prague City Council and was elected to the Bohemian Landtag in 1893, to which he was a member until 1901. When the Czechs first started obstructing the establishment of the district court in Trautenau in the Bohemian state parliament , Černohorský was at the head of the MPs who prevented this state law. In the course of a split in the Young Czechs, he separated from his party colleague Podlipný in the Prague city council. Černohorský prevailed in the 1907 Reichsrat election in the electoral district of Bohemia 4 (Upper New Town II) in the runoff election against the candidate of the Social Democrats and was subsequently a member of the House of Representatives. After two articles had appeared in the Prager Tagblatt at the end of August 1908 , which addressed the award of the delivery of water pipes for the Prague municipal aqueduct and a related intervention by Černohorský, Černohorský initiated several libel lawsuits. Černohorský lost the lawsuit against an editor of the Prager Tagblatt as well as against the central director of the Prague Iron Industry Society and as a result had to resign from his position as chairman of the Young Czechs' club. Shortly afterwards he renounced his imperial council mandate. After that, Černohorský no longer appeared politically. He died in Prague on December 31, 1915, after suffering a stroke a few days earlier.
