The study discusses the exploitation of moats in milling using the example of the town Prešov. The paper argues that the study of the water mills built by the moat can add to our understanding of the general topographic development of the town.

The main aim of this article is to present a comparative historical analysis of the mechanisms for the replacement of the political elites after the collapse of interwar Czechoslovakia and the declaration of the Slovak State under the influence of Nazi Germany in the years 1938–1940 at the level of municipal self-government with regard to the onset of an authoritarian regime. The subjects of the research are two towns, Prešov and Nitra, which provide an opportunity to look for similarities and differences in the changes implemented in two socio-economically and demographically similar towns with different political climates. The research is based on primary and secondary historical sources confronted mainly with the theories of V. Pareto, R. Michels and J. J. Linz. Historical developments in Slovakia in the years 1938–1940 and the process of the replacement of municipal elites correlates with the framework formulated in the sociological theories of Pareto and Michels. The process of the replacement of municipal elites contributed also to the gaining of characteristic elements of the authoritarian regime in the sense of the definition of J. J. Linz established in Slovakia by the Hlinka Slovak People’s Party.

In 2009–2012, the Archaeological Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences carried out rescue researches in the south-eastern extra region of Prešov, borough of Solivar, on the hill fort rising in Chmeľové-Tichá dolina. The initial rescue research in 2009 was carried out along the lines of construction of access roads and utilities. The following rescue researches from 2010–2012 focused on prospection of ten building sites where family houses are being built. By autumn 2012, 43 settlement objects were recorded. Poly-cultural character of the site settlement is represented by objects from the Neolithic, Eneolithic, late Bronze Age and late Roman era. 25 of them correspond with the middle Eneolithic settlement by the Baden culture people. Then, a fortified settlement protected by a ditch and rampart was built in the westernmost part of the site. The results of the geophysical measuring and terrain configuration suggest that size of the fortified settlement reached 55 x 75 m at least. The eastern part of the fortification was interrupted by the settlement entrance. The placement of the Baden culture objects along the inner and outer lines of the fortification suggests organized construction of residential and farm buildings, which has no analogies available in the current state of research within the Tisza region.

In this paper, I focus on the channels of communication between the free royal towns of Šariš and the county authority at the beginning of the 16th century. In this period, the towns of Bardejov and Prešov became feudal landowners in the county and, as a result, they had to develop a close relationship with the county nobility. Alongside the official documents of the county authority, the noble judges also often wrote letters to the towns, in which they often mixed official and private matters. There were also verbal lines of communication; the noble community of Šariš County frequently sent emissaries to the town, and these elected envoys were often chosen from the former or acting noble judges who lived in the villages neighbouring the towns. This had the added advantage, for the towns, that they could draw upon the legal experience of these former officeholders. Both Bardejov and Prešov employed former noble judges as town lawyers.

The paper analyses the social status of the Jewish members of the interwar municipal political elite during the Holocaust in the example of the town of Prešov. They lost their democratically elected mandate due to the dissolution of Jewish parties and opposition parties in Slovakia after Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party came to power in October 1938. The main attention is focused on the (declining) vertical social mobility of members of the former elite in order to find out whether their previous political engagement and possible social ties associated with it influenced their social status at the time of the systematic implementation of anti-Jewish policy or helped them to survive during the Holocaust. The paper intends to capture a common model of behaviour, as well as individual actions and apply the acquired knowledge to the whole group of Jewish municipal political elites in the period under review.

The medieval towns of Bardejov, Prešov, Sabinov and Veľký Šariš, which were situated in the northeast of the former Kingdom of Hungary (Šariš County) and which acquired their fundamental privileges in 1299 and 1320, have been given considerable attention in historiography to date. Nevertheless, a serious diversity of opinions still persists, accompanied by inconsistent terminology for some essential issues, particularly with regards to the extent of jurisdictional rights and the urban status of these settlements in the first century after the granting of their privileges. The aim of this study is, therefore, to arrive at clearer conclusions on the question of when the four towns were endowed with full judicial autonomy (i.e. an upper judiciary) and how to classify them at all in the fourteenth century.

Educational system was completely transformed after formation of Czechoslovak Republic. The former Hungarian schools were closed and replaced by the new Czechoslovakia. In this way Šafárik Czechoslovak state real high school was established in Prešov on 17the March 1919. The first years of school existence were turbulent. In the city were groups that believed in the restoration of pre-war status and attempted to intimidate students from studying at school. Soon, the school built up a good reputation and each year more and more students studied here. Professors who taught at the school were important not only for students but also for the city. Many of them actively participated in various cultural, educational and sport activities. The same was true of the pupils. After twenty years of school existence, it can be stated, that it was beneficial for the students, the city and the region.

The paper is concerned with the activity of the Economic Council (Consilium Oeconomicum) in Prešov. It was the highest body for the economic administration in the part of the Kingdom of Hungary controlled by the Uprising of Francis II Rákóczi. It was established by a decision of parliament at Ónod in 1707, and gradually took over most of the responsibilities of a previously united office. The study deals with the main tasks of the administration, its activities, fulfilment of functions in relation to the state, its apparatus and the army, relationship to the prince, senate and leading representatives of the country, development of the personal composition of the council, which was also the highest representative body of the county nobility on the state level, responsibilities within the office and the institutions subordinate to it, especially the offices for collecting thirtieths and the administration of the chamber lordships. The council’s work is traced on the basis of archive documents up to the end of its activity at the end of 1710, when it lost the ability to fulfil its role as a result of a plague epidemic, advance of hostile armies and the general breakdown of the economy. The Court Economic Council took over the function of the highest office for the economic administration in the Kingdom of Hungary.
