In 1925, the first architecture graduates completed their studies at the two technical universities in Brno – the Czech and the German institutions. Among them was Maximilián Scheer. The existence of a significant body of unique written and visual archival materials reveals not only details about the course of Scheer’s studies, his pedagogical guidance, and the historical and artistic context of the era and the city – all of which fundamentally shaped the personality of the young aspiring architect – but also sheds light on his classmates and friends, with whom he would later embark on professional careers in architecture. This study, dedicated to Scheer’s student years, also offers a critical perspective on the professional training of an entire generation, one that shaped the trajectory of Czechoslovak architecture for several decades.
