In 1889 at the age of 11 years old Jakub was sent to a German family in Wulzeshofen by Laa in Austria where he learnt German language.
She then continued her education at the grammar school / high school specializing in natural sciences (Realgymnasium) in Laa an der Thaya.
It had remained a sedate county town, when Napoleon marched through in 1809 during the War of the Fifth Coalition; however, Laa's development was decisively promtoted by the opening of a railway connection to Austria's capital Vienna in 1869, a branch line of the Eastern Railway, which further led to Hevlín and Brno (Brünn) in Moravia.
