This paper examines how characters of Czech origin (or characters bearing Czech names) are presented in Doderer's works. After an overview of the historical and biographical basis of Doderer's perception of Czech people, culture and language, we examine three exemplary characters of Czech origin and different social backgrounds with regard to their design and development and to their real-life models. Overall it was found that these characters appear as individuals and not as stereotypes.
