This was a Europe-wide trend in the early 19th century, as polytechnical universities were established following the model of the French École Polytechnique.

In 1705, Christian Josef Willenberg [de; cs] asked Emperor Leopold I for permission to teach "the art of engineering".

Later, the emperor's only son, who succeeded him on the throne in 1707 as Joseph I, ordered the Czech state of Prague to provide engineering education.

Finally, on 9 November 1717, a decree by the Czech state granted Willenberg the first engineering professorship in Central Europe (formally as part of University of Prague).

The successor of Willenberg was Johann Ferdinand Schor, builder of hydraulic structures in the basin of the Vltava and author of textbooks used at the school of mathematics.

In 1787, the School of Engineering was established at the decree of Emperor Joseph II and merged with the University of Prague.

The Czech Technical University was reopened and is currently the sole successor of the institution's long and turbulent history.
