caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Karikatur auf die österreichische Sprachenverordnung von Kasimir Feliks Badeni: Graf Badeni der „curiöse Herr“, läßt die Erfindung des Katzenklaviers wieder aufleben und erzielt damit einen großen Erfolg. Zur Lösung des Nationalitätenproblems in Böhmen hatte er am 5. April 1897 für alle Beamten die Kenntnis und den Gebrauch von Deutsch und Tschechisch verordnet. Das rief nicht nur bei den Deutschen und Tschechen, sondern auch bei den anderen Nationalitäten in Österreich-Ungarn Reaktionen und Forderungen hervor, für den Karikaturisten Katzenjammermusik. English: Caricature on the Austrian language regulation of Casimir Feliks Badeni: Count Badeni the "curious gentleman", revives the invention of the cat - klavier [catnip music] and thus achieves a great success. In order to solve the problem of nationality in Bohemia, on 5 April 1897 he had prescribed the knowledge and use of German and Czech for all officials. Not only among the Germans and Czechs but also among other nationalities in Austria-Hungary, this evoked negative reactions from Germans in Bohemia, as the Czech learned German in school, but few Germans knew Czech, excluding them from government jobs.
