Karel Leopold Klaudy (born December 30, 1822 in Tábor , Bohemia , † February 11, 1894 in Prague ) was a Bohemian-Czech lawyer and politician .

Origin and family

Klaudy was born under the name Karl Leopold Klaudi . The spelling of the surname changed with the elevation to the nobility in 1875 to Ritter von Klaudy . He was the son of Josef Klaudi (* March 4, 1796 Rudolfstadt ; † February 25, 1887 Prague), judge and Senate President at the Higher Regional Court in Prague, and his wife Josefine, née Korn (* September 4, 1799 Prague; † September 5, 1880 Prague). Klaudy's brother was August Klaudi (* 1840 Prague; † 1865 Vienna), the founder of Corps Austria .

Life

Klaudy studied at Charles University in Prague , where he also taught after a brief period at the regional court. He took an active part in the events of the revolutionary year of 1848 . He was elected to the constituent parliament in Vienna and Kremsier , where he supported the law to dissolve the nobility . He was later knighted himself. After the dissolution of parliament, he worked as a court assessor in Pibrans , where his active political activities became an obstacle to a further career. Only through relations with aristocrats did he get a legal position in Jitschin .

After 1861 he was elected to the Bohemian state parliament and was also a member of the Reichsrat for a short time . In 1865 he moved to Prague and from 1867 to 1869 he was the successor of Václav Bělský as the mayor of Prague. In 1870 he bought the Řitka estate . In 1879 he left the Staročeši party, where he was politically active, and four years later disappeared from the political stage. In 1891 Klaudy sold the Řitka estate to Johanna Countess von Brandis .

Personal attitude

Klaudy was one of the major politicians of the Staročeši party, but in the 1870s he also sympathized with the radical Mladočeši .
