Wenceslas Square 19 is the address where Kafka found his first job in 1907.
This magnificent neo-baroque building, which now houses the H&M fashion store on Wenceslas Square, was once the headquarters of the Trieste-based insurance company Assicurazioni Generali. Between November 1, 1907 and July 15, 1908, Franz Kafka worked for the company in this building, undoubtedly gaining the profound understanding of the machinery of bureaucracy that is present in his writings.
