Mintmaster Eberhard and his Friends: Several notes on the beginnings of Gallus Town: Although Gallus Town has already been devoted great attention in the existing specialised literature, there has so far been lacking an attempt to identify the burghers, who besides Mintmaster Eberhard shared in its foundation. Unlike the existing research, the study attempts to prove that Gallus Town was founded not only by Mintmaster Eberhard and people, who participated in the extraction and treatment of silver, but also members constituting the Prague patriciate, because the documents preserved show that in the Czech milieu it is not possible to distinguish between the “mining” (in the sense of specialists in the extraction of minerals) class and the class of the Prague urban elites. In fact, both supposed groups were a unified class, which was undoubtedly connected by family or business ties and the centre of all of their diversified activities was Prague, the headquarters and residential agglomeration of the ruling dynasty. It is also evident that Gallus Town of Prague did not comprise a legal or otherwise independent part of the Old Town, because already the first testimony of the written sources proves that the Prague burghers headquartered at Gallus Marketplace and Old Town Square appear as witnesses of one common Old (Larger) Town of Prague. The reeve was also common, who performed his powers over the entire town.
