Investigating the spatial differentiation of foreign populations in cities, especially the level of ethnic segregation, has a long tradition in Western European and American social geography. Owing to increased international mobility since the 1990s, it has also become relevant for some post-socialist cities. This article examines how the growing ethnic heterogeneity of the urban population is reflected in the spatial distribution of foreign citizens in Prague, which is now a unique example of a newly multicultural post-socialist capital. The analysis uses the migration register and census data based on citizenship. The results suggest that foreign citizens are a factor in the transformation of the ethnic structure of the population especially in the inner city and the historical core. Ethnic segregation appears to be most pronounced among economically stronger and culturally distant groups, but concentrations of foreign citizens are forming on the level of localities rather than urban quarters. The article offers the first insight into the relationship between international migration and a post-socialist city, which, soon after the fall of communism, became a destination of international immigration.

The article deals with a newly discovered document describing the festivity Phasma Dionysiacum Pragense, which was found in the holdings of the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel. Phasma was played at Prague Castle in February 1617, opening a three days long carnival. The first evening performance with singing, music and ballet was organized on an elaborated architectonical stage. The recently found text brings several new pieces of information; of special interest is the identification of the so-called “lautenspielerin” who was singing in the role of Gloria, celebrating the Habsburgs. Included are also two further days of the carnival with knightly games, the detailed description of costumes and the names of “knights”. The interpretation of the text from Wolfenbüttel shows undoubtedly that Phasma was staged in the Old Land Diet’s Hall (Alter Landtagssaal), which is a smaller hall next to the Wladislaw Hall at the Prague Castle. The visual appearance of the event is documented by engravings which are analyzed in the context of contemporary European theatre. At the end of the article, hypothesis is formulated about the possible author of the theatre stage – the court architect Giovanni Maria Filippi. The appendix contains a complete transcription of the German text from Wolfenbüttel omitting just the parts containing the Italian arias that had been already published (Seifert 1998).

The diaries of the Bohemian nobleman Johann Nepomuk Chotek (1773–1824) are an important new source for the history of music in Prague. In particular, they describe 17 concerts given by the Society of Musicians between 1804 and 1822 in the Estates Theater. The programmes of seven concerts were previously unknown. Chotek not only gives accurate dates for the performances, but also names the pieces and performers, thus supplementing the information in Michaela Freemanová’s 2003 article on this society. As a trained music connoisseur, Chotek also critiques the orchestra and singers, judges the music, and describes the reaction of the public.

The paper attempts an evaluation of the variability of frosty days (t,.", < Q0C) and' days with severe frost (t,.", <-IQ°C) in Cracowand Prague for the period 1845/46-1995/96 in relation to the atmospheric circulation factors. The correlation coefficient for the numbers of frosty days in Cracow and Prague is higher than the same coefficient for the numbers of days with severe frost. Both frosty days and days with severe frost occur most often together with high pressure centre and anticyclonic wedge in Central Europe and also with high pressure centre over Scandinavia. Recently there is a decreasing tendency in the occurrence of both types of days, which is the result of the atmospheric circulation and anthropogenic factors.

This article refers about painter Leopold Pollak (1806–1880), a native of Bohemia and Roman resident, and it primarily focuses on Pollak’s most significant work — the “Italian Genre Paintings.“ At the time, Italian Genre Paintings was a rather popular form of art across Europe, and Pollak would introduce this style to the people of Prague at annual expositions organized by the local art society Krasoumná jednota pro Čechy. The article uses information now available — still largely scattered in various sources — pertaining to Pollak’s work. Therefore, this text looks to information about Pollak’s art in private collections and galleries, but it also makes use of contemporary publications that covered the public’s reaction to Pollak’s paintings. To best analyze the reception of Pollak’s art in Prague, this article first touches on the following two issues: the specifics and concise history of Italian Genre Paintings in the mid-nineteenth century with an emphasis on the cultural environment in France; and the reception of painted italics and the Italian Genre Paintings at annual art exhibitions in Prague during Pollak’s time. The text then discusses the career of Leopold Pollak, him being the only true Italian genre specialist among painters hailing from Bohemia. The contemporary publications covering the public’s reaction to the paintings Pollak would send to Prague from Italy between 1835 and 1856 (or rather 1869) are also examined. The reception in Prague was at its warmest in the late 1830s and in the 1840s, but cooled down in the mid-nineteenth century. The contemporary publications are compared with Pollak’s works known from public collections and art auctions. The article concludes that Pollak’s oeuvre was at its best during the peak of the Italian Genre Paintings across Europe. Pollak, a pioneer of the genre in Prague, enriched the painting style by adding a new dimension with the local Prague audience in mind.

The authors present an edited fragment of a log written by Antoni Waga (1799–1890) during his journey from Paris to Warsaw in 1868. The excerpt is an account of the scholar’s stay in Prague and Karlovy Vary. Written with consummate literary skill, the log of the naturalist and the fi rst Polish entomologist and botanist takes us straight into described places. Owing to Antoni Waga’s sense of observation and erudition, the log presents a broad spectrum of issues in a variety of fi elds. The scholar discusses nature, history, literature and the arts. The log contains descriptions of architectural monuments, museum collections, local plant and animal species. As a result, we have gained a promiscuous source of knowledge. The source text has been prepared in accordance with the principles contained in the instructions for publishing historical sources of the nineteenth and early twentieth century, compiled by Ireneusz Ihnatowicz.

The study departs from previous research of the early systematic flood prevention throughout the Czech lands. It is based on archive sources dating to the last two decades of the 18th century, which have practically not been employed yet, in order to follow the efforts of the Czech administration aimed at preventing flood damages – mainly in 1789 and 1795 – and also describes the situation under which the earliest known printed Prague flood instructions were issued in February 1795.

In 1555–1558, the villa Hvězda (Star) in Prague was designed and built by Archduke Ferdinand, vice-regent of the kingdom of Bohemia and the son of Ferdinand I, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor from 1558. The architecture of the villa is highly unusual, because it is designed on a hexagonal ground plan. Nevertheless, it was modeled on Italian villas “all’antica”. It is a centrally-planned building with rooms grouped around a central “atrium”, all connected so that they form a kind of ambulatory.

This study is dedicated to documenting the relationship between these two important musicians on the basis of excerpts from extant written sources. The most important documentation of contacts between Václav Jan Tomášek (1774–1850) and Carl Maria von Weber (1786–1826), who worked in Prague from 1813 until 1817 as Kapellmeister of the Estates Theatre, is Tomášek’s autobiography published in Prague in 1845–1850 in a yearbook titled Libussa. We find additional brief documentation in Weber’s diaries and in the correspondence of both men addressed to other persons. Tomášek’s autobiography is also important documentation of how Weber’s works were viewed by the German public and music critics.

The earliest villegiaturas emerged in the vicinity of Prague from the beginning of the 1850s – recreation villa colonies for Prague’s upper middle class. Rural villegiaturas were a peculiar mass manifestation of the life-style of the modern, especially Czech, bourgeoisie as well as an important step towards urbanization of rural landscape. Recreation rural villegiaturas emerged usually in close connection with older rural residences in romantic landscapes, featuring river valleys, abundance of forests, rock formations, ruins of medieval castles and so on. Easy accessibility from Prague provided by modern means of transportation, such as railroads and, to a lesser extent, steamboats, were an important pre-condition for the existence of villegiatura.

Mintmaster Eberhard and his Friends: Several notes on the beginnings of Gallus Town: Although Gallus Town has already been devoted great attention in the existing specialised literature, there has so far been lacking an attempt to identify the burghers, who besides Mintmaster Eberhard shared in its foundation. Unlike the existing research, the study attempts to prove that Gallus Town was founded not only by Mintmaster Eberhard and people, who participated in the extraction and treatment of silver, but also members constituting the Prague patriciate, because the documents preserved show that in the Czech milieu it is not possible to distinguish between the “mining” (in the sense of specialists in the extraction of minerals) class and the class of the Prague urban elites. In fact, both supposed groups were a unified class, which was undoubtedly connected by family or business ties and the centre of all of their diversified activities was Prague, the headquarters and residential agglomeration of the ruling dynasty. It is also evident that Gallus Town of Prague did not comprise a legal or otherwise independent part of the Old Town, because already the first testimony of the written sources proves that the Prague burghers headquartered at Gallus Marketplace and Old Town Square appear as witnesses of one common Old (Larger) Town of Prague. The reeve was also common, who performed his powers over the entire town.

The presented study follows reflections of Prague as “Head of the Kingdom” in the late medieval Lands of the Bohemian Crown and the question whether the Silesian city of Wrocław (Vratislav, Breslau) aspired to take over this role in connection with the anti-Hussite policy of King Sigismund of Luxembourg. Attention is paid to the conditions establishing the leading position of Prague within Bohemia and that of Wrocław within the framework of the Duchies of Silesia; to the role of political communication when forming concepts on the “first” or “second head of the Kingdom” and the importance of this construct in struggles to participate in political decision-making in the respective Lands of the Bohemian Crown. The author reaches the conclusion that the Wrocław municipal representatives utilised references to the leading position of Prague in order to legitimize their own aspirations in the transforming power bloc of the late medieval Duchies of Silesia.

The aim of the pilot study is to examine the possibilities of mobile phone location data in geographical research of the everyday life and individual spatial mobility of the population. Developing and testing a new research instrument thus represent the key aims of the pilot study. The proposed technique is ‘tried out’ on a group of young people living or working in Prague. Their daily activities and spatial mobility are explored and discussed against the everyday and geographical context of the young people´s lives. Theoretically the study draws on the strong tradition of time geography as well as on the new geography of everyday life. Methodologically the research combines two different types of data sources and the relevant analytical tools. First, mobile phone location data are used to record the daily trajectories of the participants. Second, deep interpretative interviews are carried out to understand the reasons and motives behind the recorded daily trajectories. Despite a few technical obstacles in mobile phone location data processing, the pilot study proved the very promising potential of this source, especially in combination with interviews, when studying the patterns of the everyday life and individual spatial mobility of an urban population.

The article is concerned with the staffing of the apparatus of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in three regions (České Budějovice, Ostrava and Prague) in the period between 1945 and 1951. The study describes the developmental determinants that had a significant influence over the organizational framework and personal structure. The study provides a basic overview of the staffing based on the three traits: year of birth, the period of joining the Party and the original vocation. In the first three years, regional party organizations struggled with a fundamental lack of financial resources and therefore could only afford to employ a limited number of political employees. Significant part of political personnel consisted of pre-war party members, who were also largely involved in the anti-Nazi resistance movement. After February 1948, all three monitored party apparatuses underwent a massive increase in the number of political employees. Positions in party apparatus were gradually occupied by younger employees, mostly post-war party members from the ranks of factory workers without political experience. After the inner party purge in 1951, these young political employees controlled regional party apparatuses not only by sheer numbers, but also by holding leading posts.

The study focusses on the community of people who deal with musical and dance folklore. The author builds on the musicalanthropological conception of music as a social act, and she applies the concepts of Caroline Bithell´s and Jennifer Hill´s music revivals and Thomas Turin´s cultural cohort on the researched field. She defined the field by a musical-dance event which currently takes place regularly in Prague and which has been called “Folklore Party” by its organizers. She specifies the event as an interconnection between the world of modernity, which the life in the Czech metropolis offers, and the world of folk traditions (folklore). Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews, she studies the way of bargaining the concepts of authenticity and legitimacy, their granting to particular participants and entities, and in general how the event´s participants construct the folklore and what the resulting construct looks like. Prague as a fluid musical environment makes it possible to create and bargain traditions (in Henry Glassie´s concept) running in different directions. One of the traditions which are of recursive nature and which serve the participants to construct meanings and to implement a socio-cultural change relates to the concept of folklore. As understood by my informers, folklore music has a potential to be confronted with the pressure of modernity, thanks to other levels which are also described in the study and which the folklore music includes.

The reasons for conversion or withdrawal from traditional churches could be diff erent in every historical period. Historians should recognize the secondary or contrary historical processes like foundation of small movements and „free“ churches, and also appreciate individual motives of a convert. The author of this paper researches conversion on the basis of 1) religious term and its diff erent meanings in historical contexts, 2) study of the convert‘s „Lebenswelt“ and his local church and religion culture. At first he compares the similar meanings of the term conversion in diff erent theological encyclopedias (change of religion) and puts forward Karl Rahner’s notion of internal conversion as Bekehrung (a change of the involved man in his spiritual relationship to God) as an inspiring tool for the methodology of ecumenical or comparative church history. A summary of church development and the legislative status of diff erent denominations in the Habsburg monarchy in the 19th century follows. The author approaches that the wave of religious changes in the late 19th century was truly brought about by the internal pluralization of religious culture. He demonstrates his point by analysing conversion in the Prague diocese in 1900.

This study deals with individual aspects and problems of research on the Masses by Antonio Caldara with source materials held in Prague. Representing the basic material are two copies from the collection of the Knights of the Cross with the Red Star along with concordant sources amassed from Czech and foreign archives. The effectiveness of the standard methods used for studying musical sources is put to the test on a selected sampling of material. The comparison of individual copies helps answer questions not only about provenience or filial relationships between materials, but also about period performance practice. The goal of the study is to make at least a partial contribution towards systematic research on the musical life of Prague in the first half of the 18th century, when Caldara’s Masses were significantly represented in church music collections.
