The founder of AIDA, Josef Prousek, was born on 25 January 1883 in Drzkov, a small town in northern Bohemia. After graduating from high school, he trained as a confectioner from 1896 to 1899. As usual at that time, he travelled through Lysá nad Labem, Prague and Brno on his way to Vienna, where he started as an apprentice confectioner. In 1912 he married Rosa Nerad from Bruck an der Leitha and later had two children, Hilde and Felix.
