The paper deals with the issue of changes in the culture of the German minority community in the vicinity of Nitrianske Pravno. German-speaking colonists came here in the 14th century for the purpose of extracting minerals, mainly gold. In the 17th century, there was a significant decline in mining, which led to changes in the local cultural enclave. The subject of research is the cultural landscape. On the basis of its study, it is possible to identify the processes of development and changes of culture in selected classes of cultural phenomena. It is about the cultural landscape and ways of its use, the social-organizational structure of the town of Nitrianske Pravno and the influence of ideas and ideologies on the development of the sociocultural system. The aim of the contribution is to answer the question of how the local community reacted to the depletion of mineral wealth and how this change manifested itself in their culture. The intention is also to point out the kinship of cultural geography and cultural ecology, which is manifested in the subject of research and in the use of methodological procedures.
