Abstrakt
All branches of industry were developing rapidly in the Czech Lands in the first half of the 19th century. This caused an increasing demand for specialists with technical education.
Descriptive geometry (as an important part of this education) first appeared as a subject in technical universities, but soon also in secondary schools, especially in real-schools. The greatest boom in Czech descriptive geometry came in the second half of the 19th century and it was still reverberating at the beginning of the 20th century.
Secondary schools, technical universities and other schools with the Czech teaching language were established and Czech textbooks and original scientific works were published. In this chapter, we give fundamental information about descriptive geometry education in Czech technical universities and about the most significant results, which were published by geometers who lectured at these universities.
