Franz Weiskopf (1900–1955) was a German-speaking writer. Born in Prague, then part of Austria-Hungary, he was often referred to as F. C. Weiskopf, he also used the pseudonyms Petr Buk, Pierre Buk and F. W. L. Kovacs. F.C. Weiskopf wrote novels, short stories, stories, anecdotes, poetry, and essays. His work was always realistic, stylistically far above the average for other authors of the Socialist realism. His narrative works were mostly set in the middle of Czechoslovakia and describe the path of solidarity of citizens and workers since World War I. His wife initiated F.C. Weiskopf Prize, which has been awarded since 1956 for contribution to the preservation of the German language.
