Between Aussig and Regensburg - an Insight into the Life of an Upper- Class Bourgeois German Family in Czechoslovakia and in the Post-War Germany (1918-1948)
Smetanová, Lucie ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Kaiserová, Kristina (referee)
Schon während meines Studiums interessierte ich mich für die sudetendeutsche Frage. Ich nutzte meine Sprachkenntnisse und mein Stipendium in Regensburg, um das Schicksal einer ursprünglich Aussiger Familie zu erforschen. Ich möchte in meiner Arbeit ihr Leben sowohl in der Tschechoslowakei in der Zeit zwischen den Kriegen, als auch nach dem Münchener Abkommen und schließlich ihre Eingliederung nach der Vertreibung in Bayern schildern. Die Familie Seiche kam schon im 19. Jahrhundert nach Aussig. Sie gründete eine Lackfabrik, die sich im 20. Jahrhundert sehr gut entwickelte. Der betriebliche Erfolg hatte auch den gesellschaftlichen und sozialen Aufstieg der Familie zur Folge. Sie gehörten der höheren Mittelschicht1 an, waren Mitglieder verschiedener Kultur- und Sportvereine, wie es in jener Zeit üblich war. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die Lackfabrik unter staatliche Verwaltung gestellt und die Familienangehörigen ausgewiesen. Sie fassten in Regensburg in Bayern Fuß. Hier gründeten sie eine neue Lackfabrik, die noch bis heute im Betrieb ist. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Rudolf Lodgman von Auen and his relationships with Bohemia
Kajzrová, Pavla ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Václavů, Lubor (referee)
Československá republika byla slavnostně vyhlášena 28. října 1918. Její konstituování však neprobíhalo zcela bez obtíží. Jedním z problémů byl odpor německých obyvatel žijících v pohraničí k novému státu. Nechtěli být do něj začleněni a vytvořili vlastní provincie, jež měly být připojeny k Německému Rakousku. Právě v tuto chvíli se objevuje na politické scéně Rudolf Lodgman von Auen, německý politik z Čech. Jeho jméno je spojeno s provincií Deutschbohmen. Ta se nacházela v severní části Čech. Již 29. října 1918 ji vyhlásili němečtí poslanci z Čech v rakouské říšské radě na základě práva na sebeurčení. Měla být výhradní provincií právě se ustavujícího Německého Rakouska.

History of the transports Dl and Dm from Teresienstadt to Auschwitz
Strmisková, Sabina ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Václavů, Lubor (referee)
The theme of this thesis is the history of two transports, transports Dl and Dm dispatched september 6 1943 from ghetto Terezín to Auschwitz. It is possible to find a lot of information in many publications, but this thesis introduces this subject throught testimonies of eyewitnesses. Starting with the family background, continuing with deportation to Theresienstadt from where the transports were dispatched. Concerning the transport to Auschwitz, I elaborated its characteristics looking at the age and sex of the transported inmates. Due to the witness's testimonies, I tried to concentrate on the history of two day's journey to the biggest extermination camp during the second world war. And the eyewitness's testimonies are illustrating all the welcoming ceremony, the desinfection, tattoo and dormitory allocation. In my thesis, I would like to describe the Terezin inmates' biannual stay in family camp B IIb, tragical death of 3 792 of them at night of 8 to 9 March 1944, seeking to recreate the Dr. Mengele's list of medical personnel and twins. Finally, I would like to emphasise the fate of 41 survivors of those transports.

Miloš Josef Pulec and Old Catholic Church
Wagner, David ; Foltýn, Dušan (advisor) ; Míšková, Alena (referee)
This thesis focuses on Dr. Miloš Josef Pulec as a personality, and particularly on his relationship to the Old Catholic Church. We will see Pulec first as a newly ordained priest, then suspended, then as a priest of the Prague parish, an influential man behind the Old Catholic Church synod meetings, and finally in the eighties also an episcopal administrator. He played out an important role in the crisis of 1969-72, which in effect led to break-up of the church into an official and an underground one and to several problems which caused the church significant losses in property as well as number of members. Pulec was accused of being closely in contact with the authorities and misusing these contacts to solve conflicts in the church administration. Pulec was not only a clergyman, his works focused on many other fields: he was interested in history, anthropology, pragensia and mycology. His life's legacy is for now mostly seen in a very negative light - the goal of the thesis is not to intentionally change this view, but rather to describe the influence of an individual on an organization, and his reflection in the history.

Dissolution of the Law Faculty of the Masaryk University in Brno
Novotný, Lukáš ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Hnilica, Jiří (referee)
This diploma thesis explores the dissolution of the Law Faculty of the Masaryk University in Brno, which took place after the 1949/1950 academic year. The cancellation of the faculty was finalized by the new Higher Education Act no. 58/1950 Coll., which was passed on May 18, 1950. The act also ruined all traditional academic freedoms in the Czechoslovakia. The Communists claimed that there is no need to have so many lawyers in the new socialistic country. Therefore the legal studies remained only in Prague and Bratislava. Several faculty members were dismissed from the Law Faculty of the Masaryk University right after the overturn in 1948 due to their activity during the previous regime. Those who remained could stay at the university only for two more years. However, after the cancellation of the faculty even those professors were not allowed to pursue their life mission. A majority of them ended up working in the Academy of Sciences. The Law Faculty of the Masaryk University remained cancelled for 19 years.

To study in Germany
Stuláková, Klára ; Hnilica, Jiří (advisor) ; Míšková, Alena (referee)
This bachelor thesis focuses on higher education in Germany from the view of Czechoslovak students. Time scope of the thesis is limited by years 1918 and 1933. It is based on archive files of Archiv Univerzity Karlovy and contemporary literature. The historical context is taken especially from two extensive monographs, namely Germania docet from Daniela Siebe and Die Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung und das Ausländerstudium in Deutschland 1925-1945 from Holger Impekoven. The aim of this thesis is a statistical conclusion of the number of Czechoslovak students who went to study in Germany in the given period of time. It also captures political, economical and study aspects of the studies in the Weimar Republic as well as the problems of the integration of Czechoslovak students in german surroundings. According to the studied sources it is necessary to consistently distinguish Czech and Slovak people on one side and German people at the other side. There were fundamental differences between these nationalities not only in the number of Czech and Slovak people traveling to Germany, but also in the way of intake by the local inhabitans. Czechoslovak German people, called Auslandsdeutsche, didn't hesitate to repeatedly elicit unrests against the Czechoslovak people in the Weimar Republic. These unrests...

Czechoslowak-British Relations 1945-1948 using the Documents of the Czechoslovak Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Lehečková Neumannová, Jana ; Míšková, Alena (advisor) ; Koura, Petr (referee)
This diploma thesis examines the Czechoslovak-British relations between 1945 and 1948 primarily by analysing documents found in the Archive of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. The thesis focuses on the politico-diplomatic relations and describes their evolution with regards to events of major importance to both involved countries; such as parliamentary elections, the question of German population transfer, or the attitude of Czechoslovakia and the United Kingdom towards the Marshall Plan. The thesis is divided into six chapters and spans the conception of the Czechoslovak foreign policy, based on cooperation with the East, as well as the West; the evolution of the bilateral relations, which were influenced by, inter alia, parliamentary elections in both countries; and the mutual foreign visits. The post-war period is being examined until February 1948 when the change in political regime resulted in deterioration of the bilateral relations between the two countries.
