Assigning historical figures modern nationalities is always questionable, but in the case of Kafka calling him Czech is certainly incorrect. He was a German-Jewish (German being his only native language) from Austria-Hungary). 213.55.224.121 ( talk) 19:28, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
Frans Kafka has hardly set his foot in Germany and cannot possibly be German. He lived and worked in the Czech Lands - in the Czech city of Prague. He spoke and wrote perfect Czech. He was a Czech Jew with a Czech surname. He was obviously not a German Jew. Franz Kafka took Czechoslovakian citizenship when he got the chance in 1918. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.23.6.193 ( talk) 14:39, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
He was primarily Jewish author. He would move to Izrael, but back then Izrael didn't exist. Czech Jews choose German language for practical reasons, it was quite common. Because he never lived in Austria, he had czech ancestors, he was born in today Czechia and spent all his life here, he spoke Czech very well, had Czechoslovak citizenship from 1918, he was without no doubt Czech. Čapek, Hašek, Masaryk and Alfons Mucha were also citizen of the Austrian Empire but nobody says they were Austrian. Why? Annikahegarova ( talk) 12:51, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
Gerda Arent is wrong.
Czechia existed before Austria. The Habsburgs were crowned Czech kings. Last one was Karl I in 1916.
Franz Kafka did not choose his Austrian citizenship, but chose his Czechoslovak citizenship and his siblings were also Czechs.
They were killed by the Germans during the Second World War, by the way.
Bohemia has always been Czech Crown Land.
