The economic and social development of Kolín from half of 19th century to World War I
Holovský, Jan ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Jančík, Drahomír (referee)
Firstly I would like to write, that this work is aimed for one of the most important regional centre in my surroundings. In the middle of 19th century was Kolín only a calm town without any industry, but thanks to railway it had connection transport with other cities in Austria since 1845. The dynamic development began in conjunction with a great position in highway system (from 18th century), its strong agricultural upcountry, an economic (since 1850) and afterwards political liberalization in 60th years of the 19th century. Starting with year 1860 there was founded many important companies, e.g. the joint stock sugar refinery from year 1864, the other sugar refinery founded by František Horský z Horskýsfeldu (very important Czech progressive agriculturalist and manufacturer) from year 1870, Loan office from the same year or the join stock chemical factory with producing fertilizers, so-called "Lučebka". It was the first wave of founding of factories, profiting from sugar-beet boom. The main place of founding these fabrics was in the neighbourhood of the local railwaystation.

Holovský, Jan ; Štemberk, Jan (referee)

The basis of my research effort was a research of relevant sources in the State District Archives Kolín (branch of State Regional...
