Abstracts

This study focuses on the analysis of possible subsidiary settlement of German-speaking ethnographic group - huncokars on the territory of Tribeč during the 19th century, through information from written sources. Huncokars, who were part of the German minority, came to the territory of present-day western Slovakia from the first half of the 18th century. During that period, they mainly inhabited the forest areas of Little Carpathian and parts of the White Carpathian mountains. Professionally, they were focused to work in forestry. They were mostly engaged in logging, burning charcoal and lime, but also in wheeler and woodcarving profession. Some of them also practiced the professions of mountain keepers, rangers and huntsmen. Huncokars hardly built any compact settlements, they lived in solitudes that were several kilometres away from each other. For decades they persisted as an endogamous and ethnically closed community. The social events that occurred after 1945 led to the extinction of their specific life in the mountainous environment. In the secondary literature, it is stated that from around 1850, part of the Little Carpathian huncokars moved to the territory of other Slovak mountains. The main goal of my study is a comprehensive research and analysis of the historical development of possible huncokar settlements at Tribeč, which could arose as part of the internal migration of this German speaking population.
