history
In 1899 the Czech Technical University was founded in Brno . In 1847 a German-Czech educational institution with the bilingual name kk Technische Lehranstalt - ck technické učiliště was established. In 1873 the school became a university. However, there were a number of difficulties with the bilingual teaching and there were increasing demands for a Czech university of its own. On September 19, 1899, Franz Joseph I (Austria-Hungary) signed the document on the establishment of the Imperial and Royal Czech Technical University of Franz Joseph in Brno ( ck Česká technická vysoká škola Františka Josefa v Brně ). Civil engineering was taught as the first degree . The first and most important sponsor of the university was the lawyer and politician Wenzel Robert von Kaunitz , who gave it his own palace in 1908. From 1918 the university was named Czech Technical University in Brno ( Česká vysoká škola technická v Brně ). The German university, which existed in parallel, was called the kk German technical university from 1911 . In 2000, two faculties were split up in Zlín and the Tomáš Baťa University was founded in Zlín .
