The major German population in Olomouc realized after the formation of the Czechoslovakian state, that their exclusive ownership of the most important cultural institution in the city is threatened. At the end of 1918, no one among the German or the Czech believed that the theatre, functioning since 1770, would cease to exist. The process of undertaking the German theatre under Czech administration was gradual. The paper tries to map this not so well-known closing chapter of the German theatre in Olomouc. Because there is no archive of Olomouc theatre (it was damaged during the floods in the 30s of 20th century), the author of the paper supported her findings especially by notes from official conferences of the Council of Olomouc and by daily Czech and German press.
