Life

Srb was the son of the writer Anna Srbová born, the high school visited in Prague and studied at the Prague University of Law , where he in 1880 to Dr. jur. received his doctorate and subsequently worked for the mayor of Prague Černý before opening his own law firm in 1886. He was elected to the city council of Prague in 1889, was a city councilor from 1890 and initially worked as a deputy mayor between 1895 and 1900. As a representative of the old Czechs, he had already been elected mayor in December 1896, but did not accept this election. In return, he was confirmed almost unanimously as the first deputy mayor and left the mayor's office to the candidate of the Young Czechs . Srb was re-elected mayor on February 5, 1900, which he accepted and was confirmed in office on March 4, 1903. He then served as Mayor of Prague until February 10, 1906. After he had applied for a state parliament mandate in the Bohemian state parliament in 1889, he moved into the state parliament in 1901 via the Prague-Lesser Town mandate, to which he belonged until its dissolution in 1913 and where he exercised the function of club chairman of the old Czechs. Srb stood in the Reichsrat election in 1907 for the Old Czechs in the electoral district of Bohemia 3 and subsequently moved into the Austrian House of Representatives. However, he resigned his mandate on October 19, 1909. From 1893 Srb was also on the board of the Stadtsparkasse Prague, of which he was president between 1900 and 1903. He was also the founding president of Česká banka in Prague in 1907.

During Srb's time as mayor, the renovation of the Jewish quarter of Josefstadt was carried out and the construction of several bridges and the construction of the Czech House of Representation were completed. As mayor of Prague, Srb was at times the highest ranking Czech politician, which led him to pursue a kind of national Czech quasi-foreign policy with visits to the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 and Slavic ceremonies.

Srb died of a stroke in his office and was subsequently buried in Prague.
