Summary:
The most important and interesting phenomena from the history of the association Mathematische Kr¨anzchen in Prag [the Prague German Mathematics Community] will be analyzed based on the study of surviving archive sources available in Czech country and abroad, original professional journals, mathematical works, and diverse secondary literature. We will clarify the position of the German mathematical community in the Czech lands, respectively in Central Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. We will capture its specificity arising from the Prague “genius loci”, signal its linkage to surrounding German scientific world and show its relations with Czech and foreign professional associations and societies. The core of the article is devoted to the presentation of the origin, development and end of the nontraditional and now mostly forgotten mathematical association Mathematische Kr¨anzchen in Prag, which operated in Prague between spring 1913 and spring 1934.
