Abstract

The contribution justifies why the Kurt Krolop Research Centre, which is planned at Charles University Prague, no longer follows the mainly by Eduard Goldstücker on the second Liblice Conference alleged characteristics of the Prague German literature. It is all about a denial of the adequacy of the talk of a "threefold ghetto" in which the authors of the Prague German literature should had lived - as well as to the distinction made by Goldstücker of an in any case antichauvinistic and humanistic Prague German literature and a consistently nationalist, even pre-fascistic Sudeten German literature.

The article outlines the new pre-settlements of the research center resulting from this denial new, but does so again and again in an imagined conversation with Edward Goldstücker.
