>Two circumstances cast some light on this discrepancy: on the one hand,
there was a high fluctuation among the czechian workers who had come to
Vienna in search of a better life; on the other hand, the change in nationality
of so many among the first gener;ttion is a clear indication of the pressure to
assimilate. Czechs had organized their social life better than any other group of
immigrants; there were close to four hundred fifty clubs, associations, syndicates, and parties. Most even spoke. German in accordance with the over 94
percent of the capital of the Austrian multinational state. But, nonetheless,
these Czechs provoked a radical reaction from the Austrian majority. The immigrants became targets of populist politicians like the mayor of Vienna, Karl
Lueger (1897-1910), who proclaimed: "Vienna must remain German, and the
German character of the city of Vienna should never be in doubr.:" Thus
along with being refused the right to have courses held in the Czechian language in public schools, those who wished to enjoy the full rights of citizenship in the city had to swear an oath promising to uphold the "German character
of the city" in the future. The Vienna city statute was changed specifically for
that purpose on 28 March 1900.
Until the outbreak of the First World War, a consistent political policy gave
Czechian immigrants the choice of either rapidly assimilating-and only in
this way could they become professionally successful in Vienna-or returning
home.
