Introduction The Western Slavs once occupied the territory more or less corresponding to the former state of East Germany that is the area roughly between the Oder-Neisse and Elbe-Saale rivers. They are usually called the Polabian Slavs or Wends. They were the westernmost group of the Western Slavs (which includes the Czechs, Poles and Slovaks) who settled the region between the sixth and seventh centu­ ries. 1 The Polabian Slavs are usually divided into three branches: the Sorbs, who occupied roughly the southern part ofthe former East Germany; the Veleti in the northeast of the region; and the Obodrites in the northwest.2 Most of the Polabian Slavs were germanised in the course of time, and only a small Sorbian minority in southeastern Germany retains its linguistic and cultural identity until the present day.' 1 Dvomik 1974:14; and Gimbutas 1971:124-128; and towmianski 1967:98, 221; and Strzelczyk 1976:139-154.

  • The Priest's Devilish Curse a Thousand Years Ago, a Slavic
    The Priest's Devilish Curse A thousand years ago, a Slavic people called the Obotrites lived around here and in the forests of western Mecklenburg. One day, German warriors invaded their territory, and it wasn't the first time that happened. Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony, had been lusting for their fertile land for a long time. The Saxons outnumbered the Obotrites and their king, who were no match for the Saxon army. Niklot, which was the name of their king, burned down his castle and fled across the lake with his followers. After their victory, the Saxon conquerers forbid everything that was not part of their own culture and life-style. So the Obotrites were forbidden to pray or make sacrifices to their ancients gods, under penalty of death. The Obotrites thought that was sacrilegious. Quite a few of them rather lost their life than betray their own gods. One day, the Obotrite king's son snuck to the temple, stealthily like a thief. Despite the ban, he wanted to find solace in prayer by worshipping his god. He heard a noise coming from the inside of the temple. It was the noise of splintering and breaking wood. The Obotrite prince, casting all caution aside, hurried inside. Horrified, he saw a Christian priest shatter to pieces a statue of the Obotrite god that was carved out of wood. Rage and despair overpowered the king's son. He tore his sword out of its sheath and struck away at the priest. The priest sank to the ground next to the shattered idol, covered with blood.

  • Slavic Raid on Konungahella
    CM 2014 ombrukket3.qxp_CM 30.04.15 15.46 Side 6 Slavic Raid on Konungahella ROMAN ZAROFF The article explores the naval raid of the Slavic forces on the coastal norwegian port set - tlement of Konungahella in the mid 1130s. The paper analyses the raid in the context of regional politics and from the perspective of Baltic Slavs. It also encompasses the wider political context of contemporary imperial and Polish politics. It addresses the issue of the timing of the raid, participation of other than Pomeranian Slavs, and the reasons why it took place. It focuses on the reasons behind the raid which are surrounded by contro - versy and various interpretations. The paper postulates an alternative explanation to the politically motivated explanations previously accepted. One of the least known and researched historical events in Scandinavian mediaeval history appears to be the Slavic ride and plunder of the important norwegian port and settlement of Kungahälla-Konungahella 1, that took place around 1135/1136. Be - fore we analyse the reasons, causes and implication of this raid, we will concentrate on some background issues including a short description of the expedition and assault on Konungahella. Sources Regretfully our knowledge about this event comes solely from a single historical source, that being Saga of Magnus the Blind and of Harald Gille by Snorri Sturluson. he was an Icelander who was born in 1179 and died in 1249. The Saga of Magnus the Blind and of Harald Gille is part of a larger work known as Heimskringla – a saga or history of the kings of norway.

    Los territorios eslavos noroccidentales en el ocaso de su religión precristiana José Ignacio LÓPEZ FERNÁNDEZ Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Recibido: Mayo de 2003 Aceptado: Abril de 2004 Resumen El presente artículo analiza el contexto histórico en el que tiene lugar la cristianización de las últimas tribus eslavas paganas considerando tres áreas de influencia: Polabia (marcada por la derrota de Rethra en 1068), Pomerania (convertida por Otón de Bamberg) y Rugia (refugio del paganismo hasta la caída de Arkona en 1168). A pesar del control de los sacerdotes paganos sobre las decisiones políticas, no pudieron resistir el empuje de las potencias cristianas (Alemania, Polonia, Dinamarca) y la traición de sus príncipes locales que encontraron en el cristianismo un aliado para afianzar su poder. Palabras clave: Paganismo eslavo, Pomerania, Polabia, Rugia. Abstract The North- Western Slavic Territories at the Decline of their Pre-Christian Religion This article analyses the historical background that surrounds the conversion of the last pagan Slavonic tri- bes to Christianity in three areas: Polabia (marked by the defeat of Rethra in 1068), Pomerania (converted by Otto of Bamberg) and Rügen (last shelter of paganism until the falling of Arkona in 1168). Despite the con- trol of the pagan priests over political decisions, they were not able to resist the pressure of the Christian sta- tes (Germany, Denmark, Poland) and the betrayal of local princes who found in Christianity an ally to streng- then their power.
