I'd find it fitting to mention the fact that much of what Kafka wrote and didn't burn has been lost or left unpublished in other ways (see the drama that happened after Brod's death). Synotia (talk) 19:32, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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.

He spoke German, and the article doesn't say he was German. The Germany we have today didn't even exist when he was born. He was an citizen of the Austrian Empire, which - without his choice - became Czechoslovakia in 2018. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
I restored a former wording and added Prague. For citizenship: the infobox has it best. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:49, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Izrael" has nothing to do with Judaism. 142.126.188.216 (talk) 14:28, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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.
