Settlement development in selected area in the border region
MATYŠ, Ondřej
Hardly anybody would search for a village Pohoří na Šumavě in the Gratzen Mountains. This place is a memorial of an eventful fate of many villages in Czech-Austrian or Czech-German borderlands. A development, which was practically identical for many villages in the re-gion, is represented through example of the defunct village. Once an impassably afforested area, only sporadically settled by only a few glassmakers or woodmen until 18th century, experienced its greatest prosperity in a period when it was a property of a noble family Bucquoy. The Bucquoys were interested in the economic use of the area, they founded some settlements, from which over time became vil-lages with thousands of inhabitants. The common peaceful life of the inhabitants of the Czech and German na-tionality was disrupted by events of the 20th century. The relations were disrupted first by the formation of the state border after the First World War, subsequently by the Second World War and the post-war order. The emergence of the Iron Curtain and the frontier zones in the 1950s was already only a final factor which drove the last inhabitants out. The defunct village was reopened only in the 1990s, since then several enthusi-asts, together with Bucherser Heimat Verein association, have been trying, to a certain extent, to run in.

My bachelor thesis deals with the development of Germans living in the region of Karlovy Vary. The following thesis is divided into four main chapters that process the development from the first settlement till the expulsion. The first aim of this bachelor thesis are to describe the particular periods the Germans spent on the territory which now belongs to the Czech Republic. The other aim is to specify particular relations during this period. The first really important populating took place in the 12th and 13th century. Since then the Germans kept settling in the region of Karlovy Vary. Till the beginning of the 19th century Czechs and Germans lived peacefully as neighbors. Approximately in the middle of the 19th century the question of nationality and establishing a new state started showing up. In the 1920s the Sudeten Germans and the Czech Republic totally mentally split up. In 1939 the Second World War started and the consequences of its end led to the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans from the Czech Republic. This time period is supplemented by six interviews with Sudeten Germans form the Karlovy Vary region which helps to understand the stories of the Germans.

Reconciliation Prayer in West Bohemia
HAKLOVÁ, Marie
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to find the impulses which led to the creation the Taize Community and which could be regarded as an inspiration for the present situation in the area of West Bohemia. The theoretical part focuses on the history of the Taize Community, the way of praying in the spirit of reconciliation and on its ecumenical dimension. This part also deals with social and spiritual connections between the French and the Czech post-war period and their influence on the further development of society. The practical part of the thesis records memoirs of the beginnings of this prayer in Prague, Pilsen and in smaller towns and villages in West Bohemia. The results of the recordings describe the basic differences between possibilities in a town and a village, and between the homely atmosphere in a family and the large prayer meetings. Further, the results approach the question of how the laics can be involved in this prayer and where do they belong in its organization. In the bachelor thesis, unstructured interviews and text content analysis were used for the research work.
