The diploma thesis deals with topic of relict Czech-German ethnic boundary. In the first part of the thesis theoretical-methodological aspects of the study are discussed with an emphasis on delimitation of Czech-German ethnic boundary in literature.

In the second part of the thesis the shape of Czech- German ethnic boundary in the Czech lands and its changes from the end of the 19th century to 2001 are studied. In the third part of the thesis the shape of Czech-German ethnic boundary in chosen interest regions is analyzed, and the function of ethnic boundary as a socio-cultural divide of a territory is considered. The aim of the study was to find out if there are differences between Czech and German community in the interest regions. The function of ethnic boundary as a socio-cultural divide was examined in two periods: in an interwar era of the first Czechoslovak republic, and at the beginning of the 21st century, when Czech-German ethnic boundary remains only as a relict boundary. Comparison of both parts along the ethnic boundary in the interest regions was done on the basis of religiosity of population and results of parliamentary elections. Key words:...

Economic and social consequences of transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia
Baldrychová, Tereza ; Stellner, František (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
Almost seven hundred years of coexistence of Czechs and Germans in one country had ended by great catastrophe, by occupation and deportation. The idea of transfer of germans from eastern Europe was consequence of one of the deepest civilization crisis and came into existence in the period of general barbarism of the european continent. It needs to be mentioned that without nacism policy and atrocities, without Munich agreement, we can only hardly imagine, such transfer of germans was possible. However there is no sense to constantly compare who was the guilty person, who was responsible for chat happened or whose suffering was greater. In addition to its own problems of displacement, this work deals with the issue of a coexistence of Czechs and Germans as well. To make the reader to understand the broader context the work also introduces the meaning of Beneš Decrees. The main focus of this study is to evaluate the economic and social impacts of transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia, which contains the second half of this study.
