In the second half of the nineteenth century chemical education was modernized under the influence of Justus von Liebig. Josef Redtenbacher in Prague and Vienna and Anton Schrotter in Graz and Vienna introduced in Austria Liebig s modern method of chemical education based on the laboratory work of all students. New chairs of chemistry were installed at universities and polytechnic institutes after the revolution of 1848. The organization of studies was reformed between 1849 and 1870. A third line of chemical education at a secondary level was established by the foundation of Gewerbeschulen (technical secondary schools for chemistry). 

For the history of chemical education at the Polytechnic and the Technical University in Prague, see Quadrat (1966)) and Schatz (2002). For the early development of chemistry in Bohemia, see Wrany (1902) and chapters on chemistry in Novy et al. (1961). Chapters on chemistry instruction at the Prague Charles University can be found in Havrdnek (1997). Schatz s book contains many biographies to which we refer, although there exist many other sources as well.
