The present study maps the history of the Chapel of St Barbara in the Parish Church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary in Banská Bystrica from several aspects. The first part of study follows the building and historical development of the chapel. In the second part, the original furnishings of the chapel, of which the altar of Master Paul of Levoča is still preserved, are the focus. The third and last part focuses on the funds bound to the chapel, through which it is possible to observe the intricate interconnections of the local burghers’ families. In addition to the aforementioned, the author attempts to look through the history of the chapel into the wider historical context of the town of Banská Bystrica in that period.

In a chronological order and in an analytical and poetological way, this study discusses the activities of the theatre actor Ján Kožuch, whose extraordinary artistic achievements are tied especially to the puppet theatre in Banská Bystrica, besides the Slovak Chamber Theatre (1981 – 2022, in 2003 renamed as the Theatre of the Slovak National Uprising in Martin). The method the study builds on is mainly a reconstruction of the staged characters, through which semantic and expressive ideas are formed of them. It also uses analytical and synthesizing methods. In accordance with the theoretical work Kapitoly o hereckom umení [Chapters on the Art of Acting] written by the Slovak theatrologist and theoretician of the art of acting, Miloš Mistrík, the aim of the author is to characterize the type and the range of Kožuch’s means of expression in acting in the puppet theatre in Banská Bystrica and to analyse the way he works with these.

The main objective of the present study is to approach the course of retribution in the town Banská Bystrica in the period 1945 – 1947, focusing on its social aspects. In other words, we were a common man, a general member of the political organizations of the First Slovak Republic, for whom the end of the war was marked by possible imprisonment, trial and social contempt, which could have been amplified by the Communists' coming to power in 1948. By analysing the investigation and judicial files of the local of the People's Court in Banská Bystrica, we tried to create the most objective picture of the course of retribution in the city, summarizing our results and using the analytical and comparative method to evaluate the results of our research.

The research subject of the presented study is the activity of the Banská Bystrica Chapter as a place of authentication (locus credibilis) in the first decade of its existence. The authors focus on the establishment conditions of the Chapter as a part of the Diocese of Banská Bystrica in 1776 and the subsequent relocation of the Turiec convent place of authentication archives from Kláštor pod Znievom to Banská Bystrica in 1780. Moreover, the authors attempt to reconstruct the activities of a place of authentication, to present the personnel and economic background of the Chapter according to authentic descriptions drawing on the canonical visitations of 1785. Subsequently, they aim to demonstrate the structure and the amount of agenda of the place of authentication in the first decade of its existence according to the hitherto unresearched protocol of the credible place from 1780 – 1795 stored in the archives of the Diocese of Banská Bystrica. Finally, the authors follow the efforts of Emperor Joseph II to gradually centralize the places of authentication archives which, however, were not implemented due to the reasons stated in the study.

Most walking-related research focuses on the spatial behaviour of the adults living in the studied areas and omits other pedestrians. The aim of this study was to uncover possible differences in the spatio-temporal patterns of adolescents’ walking activities, according to the location of their residence. The research was carried out in an electoral ward in the post-socialist town of Banská Bystrica (Central Slovakia). A total of 295 participants aged 13 to 16 years (103 of whom were residents of the ward) recorded their walking activity at hourly intervals. The residents of the ward were only more active than other pedestrians during a few afternoon and evening periods, with differences up to 13:00 not being significant at all. The lowest dispersion of walking activity space was recorded for participants residing other municipalities. The lesser walking activity by non-residents is in line with current knowledge of the spatio-temporal constraints of commuting individuals, and the time-budget theory.

The text analyses the priestly live of Karol Anton Medvecký in the first period of his pastoral ministry concretely, in the years 1902 – 1909. In this time, the priest of the Banská Bystrica’s diocese was replaced many times to a smaller and inferior parish. It can be generalized that Medvecký’s frequent transfer from parish to parish was a form of punishment. This method was first used by the diocesan vicar Ján Havran, and after the exchange of bishops, it was adopted by the new ordinary of the diocese, Wolfgang Radnai. In this way, they tried to break the persecuted priest and persuade him to give up his national activities and contacts. Subsequently, the position of the priest in the diocese only deteriorated and he spent only a few months or weeks in some parishes. The text evaluates the priest’s relationship with the church hierarchy, but also with his pastors and believers, whose character was also specific.

In the introduction, the author informs that the Military exhibition of the 16th Home Guard (Patriotic) Infantry was inaugurated on 29 June 1918 in Banská Bystrica. The exhibition was installed in the rooms of the so-called small training ground of the regiment. The opening was attended by several social elites of the town of Banská Bystrica as well as the County of Zvolen, officers of the replacement battalion or the field regiment and other invited guests. The exhibition was aimed at presenting various works of art of the regiment members (active and reserve ones), originating since the outburst of the conflict. In addition, the military booty materials and other items captured at battlefields were exhibited. The central motive of this presentation was to document the so-called lived history, in this case the combat operation of the regiment and its activities in the background. At the same time, the authors wanted to emphasize the unity and symbiosis of the regiment and the local (Hungarian) society. In 1918, a catalogue was published from the exhibition, in Hungarian language. The catalogue was printed in the Filip Machold Printing Works in Banská Bystrica, on a relatively low quality “war” paper. The pages of the brochure were numbered, starting with a preface. At the time, the catalogue is archived in the Central Slovakia Museum in Banská Bystrica.

The paper deals with the issue of cultural heritage in an urban environment. The research is located in the central Slovakia mining town of Banská Bystrica and its surroundings, with the focus on chosen historical events. Popular science literature often gives the town of Banská Bystrica titles with different attributes according to the town´s priorities in the historical context. “The mining town” is the oldest attribute and “the uprising town” (Banská Bystrica was the centre of Slovak National Uprising in 1944) or “administrative town” are among newer. The newest attributes usually concentrate on the town´s engagement in various projects, for example the town of sport, healthy town, green town, etc. There is also a long-time tradition of organizing annual fairs. The biggest and most famous fair is the Radvanský fair which celebrated its 360th anniversary in 2017. We consider the mining tradition, the uprising tradition and the elements listed on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovakia as the core of the town´s intangible cultural heritage.

Stove tiles with the motifs of Saints with their typical attributes under the Gothic vault appear on the extensive territory of the northern part of the Carpathian Basin. Their production in the last quarter of the 15th century was concentrated in the manufactory in Banská Bystrica, which ceased to exist in the fire of the town in 1500. According to the latest findings, the so-called Banská Bystrica type of stove tiles also appears in the following period. This means that the production of the manufactory either continued after the fire, or the manufactory controlled the stove production of smaller local workshops in the wider range. New findings of the stove tiles with the depiction of St. Margaret were found during the excavations of the Oponice Castle. The aim of the paper is to include them into the series of Banská Bystrica Saints, to evaluate the current state of research and to introduce a new perspective on the issue of stove tile production.

This article is a contribution to the debate on specific and interrelated problems of regional government, regional development and the electoral success of radical political forces in post-socialist Europe in the late transition times and during the financial and economic crisis and its aftermath. We document these issues based on the case of Banská Bystrica region, which is perceived as one of the most problematic territories in Slovakia in terms of socio-economic development. We attempt to explain the political success of the radical far-right political party Kotleba – Ľudová strana Naše Slovensko, observable since 2013, through an assessment of socio-economic data, in-depth interviews, as well as statistical analysis. We suggest that the persistently difficult social and economic situation, the contradictory population structure and processes (ageing, migration, multi-ethnicity), less successful regional development policies of central state and EU cohesion policy goals and implementation, as well as the weaker position and capacities of regional self-government have contributed to growing apathy and disillusionment in mainstream political parties, rising Euroscepticism and finally the electoral success of the far-right in this region.

The aim of the article is to explore voting behaviour of supporters of Marian Kotleba, a controversial right-wing candidate that won the presidency of the Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia, in the 2013 regional elections. Specifically, the article models transitions of voters between political parties and candidates in the 2009 – 2014 in order to determine who Kotleba’s supporters are who voted for in other elections. A hierarchical Bayesian model of ecological inference is used to estimate the transitions rates. There is a group of people in the Region that consistently do not participate in the second order elections. Kotleba managed to mobilize a large share of these voters in the second round of the 2013 regional elections. Kotleba’s voters were highly disciplined – almost everyone who supported him in the first round participated in the second round and voted for him again. Kotleba was also as successful as his opponent Vladimír Maňka in mobilizing voters of the SMER(-SD) party and Rober Fico.

The author devotes his attention to the most recent period of history and the establishment of the so-called documentation centres in Slovakia after 1982, the division of property between the Slovak and Czech republics after 1993 and the effort to transform the Post Office Documentation Centre into a museum. It was a reaction to the long-term absence of cultural institutions, in contrast to the Czech Republic, where the situation was incomparably better. After the origin of the Slovak Republic, the documentation centres actively participated in the division of joint property. However, their position was not equal to that of the museums in the Czech Republic, and this was later expressed in an effort to completely liquidate them. Some of them, for example, the Post Office Documentation Centre, were successfully transformed into museums. In this way, Slovakia gained several technically oriented museums, which are still working to fill in the blank spaces in the documentation of the history of society. The account ends around 1997–2000, when the centre moved to Banská Bystrica and was definitively institutionalized as a museum.

The social mobility is a relatively common phenomenon in society; however, in the period of the Slovak State (1939–1945) it was predominantly caused by the economic and social engineering of the single ruling Hlinka’s Slovak People’s Party. Anti-Semitism was made one of the main pillars of the internal state policy. Systematic pauperisation of the Jewish community gradually affected each perspective of everyday life of Jews in Slovakia, including the limitation of Jewish people’s living space. This practice led to involuntary moving out from houses and flats in designated urban zones. Subsequently, this process culminated in the Aryanization of the housing formerly owned by Jews. The main aim of this contribution is to analyse spatial and social consequences of the reshaping of the Jewish housing opportunities with special interest in the entangled social mobility of both Jews and Gentiles, which will be mainly exemplified through selected cases from the Banská Bystrica district.
