  • The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown
    6 Rebellion and Catastrophe The Thirty Years’ War was the last great religious war in Europe, and the first Europe-wide conflict of balance-of-power politics. Beginning with the Bohemian rebellion in 1618, the war grew into a confrontation between the German Protestant princes and the Holy Roman Emperor, and finally became a contest between France and the Habsburgs’ two dynastic monarchies, involving practically all other powers. The war may be divided into four phases: the Bohemian-Palatinate War (1618– 23), the Danish War (1625–29), the Swedish War (1630–35), and the Franco-Swedish War (1635–48). When the war finally ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the treaties set the groundwork for the system of international relations still in effect today. The outcome of the war integrated the Bohemian crownlands more fully with the other Habsburg possessions in a family empire that aspired to maintain its position as one of the powers in the international state system. This aspiration involved recurrent conflicts, on one side with the Turks, and on the other with Louis XIV’s France. .......................... 10888$ $CH6 08-05-04 15:18:33 PS PAGE 68 Rebellion and Catastrophe 69 VAE VICTIS!: THE BOHEMIAN CROWNLANDS IN THE THIRTY YEARS’ WAR After the Battle of the White Mountain and Frederick’s flight from Prague (his brief reign earned him the epithet ‘‘The Winter King’’), the last garrisons loyal to the Estates in southern and western Bohemia surrendered in May 1622. Even before these victories Ferdinand II began to settle accounts with his Bohemian opponents.

  • A Monumental Debate in Budapest: the Hentzi Statue and the Limits of Austro-Hungarian Reconciliation, 1852–1918
    A Monumental Debate in Budapest: The Hentzi Statue and the Limits of Austro-Hungarian Reconciliation, 1852–1918 MICHAEL LAURENCE MILLER WO OF THE MOST ICONIC PHOTOS of the 1956 Hungarian revolution involve a colossal statue of Stalin, erected in 1951 and toppled on the first day of the anti-Soviet uprising. TOne of these pictures shows Stalin’s decapitated head, abandoned in the street as curious pedestrians amble by. The other shows a tall stone pedestal with nothing on it but a lonely pair of bronze boots. Situated near Heroes’ Square, Hungary’s national pantheon, the Stalin statue had served as a symbol of Hungary’s subjugation to the Soviet Union; and its ceremonious and deliberate destruction provided a poignant symbol for the fall of Stalinism. Thirty-eight years before, at the beginning of an earlier Hungarian revolution, another despised statue was toppled in Budapest, also marking a break from foreign subjugation, albeit to a different power. Unlike the Stalin statue, which stood for only five years, this statue—the so-called Hentzi Monument—had been “a splinter in the eye of the [Hungarian] nation” for sixty-six years. Perceived by many Hungarians as a symbol of “national humiliation” at the hands of the Habsburgs, the Hentzi Monument remained mired in controversy from its unveiling in 1852 until its destruction in 1918. The object of street demonstrations and parliamentary disorder in 1886, 1892, 1898, and 1899, and the object of a failed “assassination” attempt in 1895, the Hentzi Monument was even implicated in the fall of a Hungarian prime minister.

  • Prague's Public Space and Franz Kafka's Readings of Prague
    MAREK NEKULA The Divided City: Prague’s Public Space and Franz Kafka’s Readings of Prague It is no surprise that the monuments on Prague’s squares, riverbanks, and hills reflect the national ideologies from which they emanated. In the nineteenth century, when the first memorial monuments were founded, middle-class civic society used them to present and pass on its values to viewers in public space, viewers who themselves may have been nationally indifferent. In nineteenth-century Prague, these values were above all national in character: for the Czech and German mid- dle classes, language-based nationalism dominated all other values; it determined the political programs of most Czech and German political parties, as well as more private choices, such as where parents sent their children to schools. Czech middle-class nationalists demanded that the Czech language and Czech people be given equal standing with the Germans, while German middle-class nationalists wanted to maintain the status quo. Both groups were becoming more and more interested in creating linguistically distinct spaces that would be dominated by the language and symbols of Czech and German nationalism. In Prague, public space became the staging ground for national discourse, where adherents of monolingual national ideologies competed with one another and attempted to control public opinion in various ways, including the domina- tion of public space. One of the ways to control and speak to the public was to properly stage ceremonial acts, for example the funerals of Václav Hanka, Karel Havlíček Borovský and Božena Němcová or the laying of the first stone of the Czech National Theater.

Clybor (Utah State University)Published on H-Urban (August, 2012) Commissioned by Alexander Vari The Politics of Memory in Prague's Twentieth-Century What makes history so compelling is the ability of its practitioners to construct and recount narratives that command our attention while teaching important lessons about the past. Although the narrative “fiction” of history has undergone academic scrutiny in recent years, texts such as Carl Schorske’s Fin-de-Siècle Vienna (1980) or Jeremy King’s Budweisers into Czechs and Germans (2005) have captured a permanent place in this reviewer’s thoughts and lectures because they tell emotionally engaging stories. On these grounds Cynthia Paces’ Prague Panoramas offers to anyone interested in Czech history the most compelling thing a historical text has to offer: a fascinating (occasionally quite humorous) series of narratives on the relationship between religion and nationalism in Prague from the late nineteenth century through the collapse of communism in 1989. Prague Panoramas is a study of the complex negotiations underlying the construction of Czech national identity, which it illuminates through the rise and fall of religious monuments in the once multinational capital city of Prague, a city of “panoramas,” housing “fragmented and paradoxical views.” (p.

Reviewed by Thomas Ort (Queens College, City University of New York) Published on HABSBURG (December, 2012) Commissioned by Jonathan Kwan The Anti-Catholic Catholic State Most studies of Czechoslovakia in the twentieth century, and especially those that concern its history in the turbulent 1920s and 1930s, naturally and appropriately focus on that state’s ethnolinguistic heterogeneity as the source of the conflicts that contributed to its demise. Conceived as a nation- state for Czechs and Slovaks (or rather “Czechoslovaks”), Czechoslovakia was in fact multinational in composition, with an enormous German minority population as well as sizable Hungarian, Ruthenian, Polish, and Jewish communities (Jews could opt to be counted as a separate national group). Czechs and Slovaks together constituted just 65 percent of the population; it was the least homogenous of all the Habsburg successor states. And even after the state’s minority populations were radically reduced during and after the Second World War due to murder, expulsion, or territorial readjustment, leaving Czechoslovakia substantially more homogeneous in the process, Slovaks continued to resent Czech domination of the state, culminating in the breakup of 1993. In Prague Panoramas, Cynthia Paces offers a refreshing approach to the history of Czechoslovakia in the twentieth century.

Christmas Celebrations in the Czech Republic More Modestly, but Spiritually Due to the emergency measures caused by the pandemic, the Christmas celebrations in the Czech Republic took place more modestly than in previous years. Nevertheless, they had strong spiritual dimension. Families gather for a Christmas celebration after sunset on Christmas Eve. In that time, there is a festive dinner consisting of fish soup, fish, and other courses. Then the Christmas tree is lit, under which gifts are prepared for children and adults. Many inhabitants of the Czech Republic who do not attend church normally come to church during Christmas, which is made possible by the fact that according to the Czech law the public holidays take three days from 24th to 26th December.1 This Christmas, the Czech government placed the whole country into tier 5 lockdown due to increasing spread of infection and banned going out from 9 pm to 5 am. Nevertheless, an exception was made on 24th December as many people attend the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass. The exception was valid for journeys to services of all churches and back from 24th December 11 pm to 25th December 1.59 am. As a precaution, however, in many places the “Midnight” Mass was celebrated late in the afternoon, after sunset.

CEU eTD Collection i Abstract The thesis is about the cluster of interwar Lithuanian national monuments – the Vytautas Magnus War and Culture museum and the Church of Resurrection – which arose in the 1930s in Kaunas, the temporary capital of Lithuania. It draws the origins of the monuments from the prewar idea of the Lithuanian “National House” rather than the dominant historicist discourse of the authoritarian regime, propagating the memory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the lost historical center Vilnius. The dynamic experience of the interwar Lithuanian national monument is revealed instead through the developement of the three national projects questing for national cultivation, expression and resurrection.

Photo Záboj Horák Column of Virgin Mary in Prague Blessed As we have already informed on the pages of this periodical No. 6/2020, the renewal of the Marian Column was completed on 4th June this year on the Old Town Square in Prague. The column was blessed by the Archbishop of Prague, Dominik Cardinal Duka OP, on 15th August 2020, the day of the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The blessing was preceded by the service in the nearby Church of Our Lady before Týn, which was attended by a number of Czech bishops, abbots of monasteries, priests, members of religious communities and many hundreds of believers, including many members of the Church Law Society. During the blessing, the sculptor Petr Váňa, who worked enthusiastically on the column for more than twenty years, inserted a painting of the “Virgin Mary of the Square” into the sanctuary in the pedestal of the Marian Column. According to tradition, the mayor of the Old Town, Mikuláš František Turek from Rosental, had the picture hung around his neck during the defence of Prague in 1648. Then, Jan Wolf, chairman of the Committee on Culture, Exhibitions, Tourism and Foreign Relations of the Prague City Council and a member of the Church Law Society, who significantly contributed to the restoration of the column, gave a short speech.
