Otto and Reich families are distant ancestors of the author. They were evangelical peasant families living on the Polish lands (near Huta Dłutowska) from about 1800. Later they moved from Huta Dłutowska to the neighboring villages: Kolonia Anielin and Rokicie. Members of the Otto family were farmers, cultivating farmlands under a leasehold law (Polish „okupnicy”), and carpenters. On the other hand, members of the Reich family worked in mills in Jochim (Joachin), Kozica, Półtalarek. Members of both families were married to evangelical German settlers. The marriage of Marianna Otto was, however, an exception. She was married to Maciej Rutkowski in 1828. Their children were brought up as Catholics.

The study is an attempt to present the background and the first results of the current research, documentation of the language of German woodcutters known as Huncokars. We introduce the characteristic Huncokars’ dialect. Based on the record comparison of Huncokars’ dialect with dialects in Tyrol, Styria and Bavaria we have identified possible area from which Huncokars came to Slovakia. Huncokars have developed a languagespecific enclosed settlement, which lives either through several individual memories of their descendants or as a part of the collective memory of today's local communities living near the former settlements.

The article discusses the influence of macro-social processes and issues of assimilation, acculturation, ethnic and linguistic revitalization on the example of one particular group of German woodsmen in the social context of Western Slovakia. It attempts to analyse how historical and political changes during the 20th century influenced changes in the structure, system of values and hierarchy of ethnic group and whether that helped or prevented the assimilation of the group’s members. The article also attempts to indicate the possibilities of today’s ethnic and linguistic revitalization.

The possibility of settling the country near Chotěboř by ethnic Germans in Middle Ages has not yet been considered. With a detailed analysis of rare documents from 1347 dealed with the mill in today abolished Stavenov where German proper names occur, it seems that the German settlers lived in the area around Nová Ves at Chotěboř for a certain time cultivating the partially desolate country. Excepting one single document only sparsed traces in the form of place names and minor place-names were left after them that we succeeded to identify as originally German. These traces were revealed only by the analysis of the text of the deed, and by the explanation of the then realia, including their location in today’s region. These names outstay here though in Czech forms (one of them – Truncheyn – wholly extinguished). Therefore it seems that the ethnicity of the German settlers who founded new villages and ponds had relatively quickly scattered in the Czech surrounding. Present research shows that the settlers from German speaking countries pursued primarily agriculture, not at all mining silver. In the vicinity of Nová Ves near Chotěboř facing Habry we find more such names, although they became nearly extinct. Similarly they sporadically occur in the environs of Vilémov and Světlá nad Sázavou. They are treated as onomastic traces of the great German colonization of the 13th century.
