The Spiritual Administration of Provostship in Jindřichův Hradec between 1840 - 1918
ŠIMKOVÁ, Lucie
The work deals with the spiritual administration of provostship in Jindřichův Hradec in the years 1840 - 1918. It briefly describes the history of the city Jindřichův Hradec, the origin of provostship and the church administration until 1840. It is followed by an insight into the context of church history at that time. The most extensive part of the thesis consists of chronologically ordered curricula vitae of incumbent provosts between the years 1840 - 1918. The aim is to show and describe the church administration and life of parish community in Jindřichův Hradec. The view of leading figures of provosts demonstrates the importance of the office, important events and the general profile of administrators of the parish. It is confirmed that the importance of Jindřichův Hradec provosts surpassed by far the status of the mere administrators of common parishes.
