This study deals with selected findings from archaeological research in a part of the cemetery of the defunct parish church of St. Peter (Olomouc, Křížkovského Street Nr. 10). This cemetery was used for burials from the Middle Ages until 1784. The described findings include grave H176, in which an individual with a growth disorder (achondroplasia) was buried sometime during the Baroque period (1650–1750) and probably with the typical appearance of disproportionate dwarfism (shorter limbs, swaying or hunching of the back). In contemporary sources, these people were referred to as nanus, pumilio, pygmaeus (Latin), der Zwerch/Zwerg (German); piedimužík,...

This study focuses on the process of the prosecution of Nazis and collaborators in the Jeseník region of the Czech Republic from 1945 to 1948. It focuses on the approach of the security and judicial apparatus to individual categories of the accused and on the comparison of this approach with other regions, especially in the adjacent areas of Western Silesia and Northern Moravia. In particular, the course and outcome of the trials of participants in Henlein’s Uprising of September 1938, exponents of the Nazi security apparatus, and party and public officials are followed. The research is based on court and police records and the contemporary press.

This case study is based on an analysis of the copies of guild articles in the cartulary of the bishops of Olomouc—Jan Dubravius and Mark Khuen—which provide an insight into the content of guild articles in subject towns located on the estates of the Olomouc bishopric. Rather than analysing all the copies of articles preserved in the cartulary of the two aforementioned bishops, the study aims to outline the functioning of selected guilds by analysing four ordinances. Each analysis of the articles is preceded by a brief outline of the economic development of the town.

The Czech and Slovak National Socialists began to build a provincial party organisation in Slovakia shortly after the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1919. Party structures were created mainly in eastern and western Slovakia in localities where a larger community of Czechs lived and participated in the building of modern Slovakia. While on a local and regional scale the work was quite successful, despite the negative impact of relatively frequent reorganisation, and the county-based branches of the organisational structure proved their viability in particular. The Bratislava provincial party headquarters were slow and difficult to form...

Czechoslovakia, as the successor state of Austria-Hungary, inherited numerous problems. One of the most difficult was undoubtedly the question of the coexistence of minorities in a common state; in particular, the German minority had a considerable impact on the cohesion of the state. As a result, the newly established foreign embassies in Prague monitored the relations between Czechs and Germans closely throughout the entire period of the First Republic. The development of Czech-German relations was also monitored by the Spanish embassy, and this topic became one of the most commented on in the reports sent by diplomats to Madrid. The present study...
