In his book, Nejsou jako my: Česká společnost a menšiny v pohraničí (1945–1960) (They Are Not Like Us: Czech Society and Minorities in the Borderlands, 1945–90; Prague: Antikomplex, 2011), the young historian Matěj Spurny has, according to the author, done excellent work in researching three selected minorities in the Czech borderlands in the fi rst fi fteen years since the end of the Second World – the ethnic Germans who were not expelled, the Roma, and the Volhynian Czechs. He focuses mainly on the development of the attitudes of majority society towards these minorities and on their role in the politics of the Czechoslovak state and the Czechoslovak Communist Party.

The presented historiography survey would like to map and assess a situation in existing research of the textile industry in Northern Moravia. The interest in the Northern Moravian textile industry started as early as in 1840s. In the decades to come, virtually up to the end of the WWII the research of the textile industry in Northern Moravia was mainly a „domain“ of German homeland researchers who focused mainly upon development of particular manufactures, beginning of the factory production, life of the weavers, spinners and homecraft labourers, much less then upon prominent enterpreneurial personalities and families. Systematic professional research of the Northern Moravian textile industry history concerning started in 1950s mainly in connection with the names of František Mainuš, Miloň Dohnal or Milan Myška. These authors dealt predominantly with the issue of the end of the guild production, development of the scattered and then concentrated production and last but not the least the rise of the industrial revolution in the first half of the 19th century. The greatest deal of the work was carried out in 1970s and 1980s thanks to historians, archive workers and other professionals around specialized research centres in Trutnov and Ústí nad Orlicí. One of them is also a well-known Šumperk archive worker and historian František Spurný who within his thorough research deals among others with a fate of prominent enterpreneurial families as much as with a development of the Northern Moravian textile industry after 1945. The last two decades nevertheless have brought forth a decline in interest in the textile production history, not being it only the Northern Moravian one. The greatest attention has been paid in the domestic textile industry to projects focused upon a research and protection of the industrial heritage in our country. However, we may generally state that present textile industry history research has been facing a considerable fragmentation of themes and a lack of a systematic approach to the given issue.

The study deals with agricultural production of the burgher of Krupka (Graupen) in Northern Bohemia Michel Stüeler, who was although primarily a craftsman, a tanner, but as a result of the events of the Thirty Years’ War and the demands of the craftsmen-working he paid more and more intensively attention to his fields and gardens. On his agricultural lands grew first of all cereals, nevertheless experimented also with quite new plants, such as potatoes and maize, probably without bigger success. To his favorite activities belonged vegetable-growing and first of all fruit-growing (he grew also grapevine), Stüeler grafted fruit-trees too and bred goodly number of farming animals. His activities such as many the then agricultural experiences noted Stüeler in his diary, which survived in a transcription to this day and was not long ago opened to the public in a scientific edition.
