Bratislava became a site of high international politics in the latter half of the 15th and in the early 16th century, a period of permanent rivalry between the two most significant dynasties in the region of Central Europe: the Habsburgs and the Jagiellonians. The paper outlines a political background of major international events, diplomatic talks and their results. It also describes their cultural and social environment. The analysis of individual contracts, literature and archival materials of that time clearly shows that life in Bratislava was strongly influenced by the initiatives of the Habsburgs, especially the emperor Maximilian I, a founder of a modern Habsburg monarchy.

The study addresses the creation and early development of the ornamental garden in Mýtna Street in Bratislava. The site was originally a smaller garden on the outskirts of the Blumentál suburb (at that time), located in the vicinity of a road leading to Rača. The first stage of the garden documented in a drawing shows the main axis intersecting the centre of the courtyard and a simple symmetric composition of three fields of vegetation lined by tree alleys. Based on an analysis and comparison of written sources and plans, we assume the garden was founded in the second half of the 1770s. A re-evaluation of the name Esterházy Garden is based on reliable information from historical sources designating the archbishop’s administrator Štefan Ormosdy as the owner.

Archaeological discoveries confirmed the existence of economic and cultural contacts between Bratislava and the regions of Apennine Peninsula. Bratislava was situated at the crossroad of big international trade routes. It was an economic centre of the region; after the Battle of Mohacs the political importance of the town increased too. The findings of this paper have been considerably influenced by the state of research of historic plots, however, it is clear that the most extensive collections of imports concentrated on the plots located along major trade routes in the town (Ventúrska Street, Michalská Street, Water Tower or the castle).

The tower of the Franciscan monastery in Bratislava was completely restored in the last decade of the 19th century under the supervision of Frigyes Schulek. It was first disassembled and then reconstructed. A garden pavilion was built in the Aupark (today Janko Kráľ Park) using the old stones. But there is an important difference between the tower of the monastery and the pavilion: while the aforementioned has a pointed, pyramid-like spire, the latter’s termination is curved and dome-shaped. This article also discusses the events of the reconstruction, focusing mainly on the actual dismantling and construction works. The reconstruction of the Franciscan tower indicates a changing of principles in monument preservation: it is a more or less accurate copy of the unsustainable original.

Systematic study of archival sources of a non-musical character in selected Moravian royal cities in the 16th and early 17th centuries has produced a series of parallels with cities of the Central European space, and above all with the nearest of them, Bratislava and Vienna. The following study aims to highlight one of the principal areas of urban musical culture: musical activity in city parish churches, with emphasis on the similarities and differences between individual cities. Cantors, schoolmasters, organists and city trumpeters, in other words the leading figures in urban musical culture in the 16th and 17th centuries, were paid partly from church funds but mainly from the city budget. Extant sources, in the form of municipal account books and books of church accounts, together with testamentary books and other written materials, provide valuable testimony on the specific musical duties of the cantor and his pupils, the church choirs’ repertoires, and the duties of city trumpeters, which were more or less correspondent in the individual cities.

The article deals with the development of Czech and Slovak relations in Bratislava during the inter-war period, disrupted by the autonomist radicalisation of Slovak society that resulted in the establishment of the totalitarian regime of the Slovak state. The incorporation of the predominantly German and Hungarian city in the new Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 resulted in mass immigration of Czechs and Slovaks. The mutual relations developed under the difficult conditions of the new state and multi-ethnic city. I focus on the contribution of Czechs at the stage of Bratislava’s transformation into a Czechoslovak city and on its economic and cultural development which brought Slovak citizens to the fore, becoming the most numerous ethnic population group. It is not my ambition to provide an analysis of the entire 20-year period; my intention is to generalise the social consequences of some key events.

The Buda or so-called Bratislava Antiphonary III (Archive of the City of Bratislava) is one of the most important sources of music culture in medieval Hungary. It is one of the representative manuscripts of the principal ecclesiastical centre of the country, Estergom. The manuscript was produced in the last third of the 15th century under the powerful Renaissance influence of the scriptorium in Buda, or directly in the Buda scriptorium itself. It is the only manuscript source which documents the influence of the art of the Buda Royal Court in Bratislava. By a detailed comparison and exact accordance of codicological and music-palaeographic components, several lost folios of the Buda/Bratislava Antiphonary III were identified in the recent past. Seven pages of this manuscript are currently held by the St. Adalbert Society in Trnava and one torn folio is lodged in the Archive of the Slovak National Museum; 38 fragments from the second part of this manuscript may be found in the Austrian National Library in Vienna.

The article focuses on the image of Bratislava during the first Czechoslovak Republic as presented in Ivan Horváth’s novella Laco a Bratislava. The city is viewed through the prism of the protagonist’s revaluation of his ideals and as a site of the possibilities it provides on the personal and social level. The movement of the hero through the city bears traces of imitation of certain literary traditions that creatively make use of motives typical for education or disillusionment novels as well as discourses bearing initiation function. In this way, Bratislava becomes a space of emotional education. The hero’s striving for self-actualisation is paralleled with Bratislava’s ambitions to develop, modernise or imitate the style of big cities. His attitude towards the city is analogous with a relationship with a woman. Bratislava is portrayed as a lover, maiden, dark lady or a double. The atmosphere with which the city is invested mirrors the development of a romantic relationship. At first, it is dreamy, postcard-like, melancholic, drawing on memories and history and invested with a hope for a future. The loss of certainty in the romantic relationship, revelation of the city’s social inequalities and the impossibility of self-actualisation are reflected in its changed atmosphere. Disillusionment and nostalgia prevail as the protagonist is leaving Bratislava, hoping for a return which, however, cannot be granted. The city is also portrayed through glimpses of scenes in cafés and exotic air of its oriental features.

The future success, vitality and viability of urban shopping areas in Slovakia have attracted considerable attention from academics and policymakers alike over the last few years. This paper reports the current state of the urban retail environment in Bratislava (Slovakia) as a result of various transition waves that reflect its changes over a forty-four year period (1967 – 2011). The outcome of this paper is the identification of concentric zones with the highest rates of changes based on analysis of old and new retail data from both temporal and spatial aspects. In addition to this, it also offers a variety of approaches to measuring the change of urban retail environment in a post-communist city.

Bratislava City Museum (founded 1868) has a relatively numerous collection of historic glass. The article analyses its commemorative glass from the 19th century. From a manufacturing technique this collection may be divided into two fundamental groups: colourless transparent glass decorated by glyptic techniques (cutting, carving or engraving) and coloured glass decorated by painting and gilding, often also in combination with engraving. A larger group of commemorative glass dates back to the period of Empire and Biedermeier (1st half of the 19th century). A number of artefacts were originated in the middle of the century or in the period of neo-styles (2nd half of the 19th century). To the basic characteristics of the commemorative objects belongs a combination of pictorial motives with texts - inscriptions, names (generally in German or Hungarian language) or initials. To the most interesting and qualitative examples belong coloured glasses with decoratively engraved inscriptions, individual letters being created by flowers and leaves. From the viewpoint of decorative motives the author divides the analysed collection into following groups: motives of Bratislava, health resort architecture, names and initials, religious and allegorical motives, symbolic motives and curiosities.

In the academic year 2021/2022, we commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava, where the Seminar for Musicology was also established. The latter created a professional base for the development of Slovak music-historical research, especially for heuristics and for the preservation of extant music-historical sources from several places of present-day Slovakia. The founder of this Seminar for Musicology, Dobroslav Orel, a Czech theologian and musicologist, also built a music-documentation station at the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava in Slovakia after the model of Czech and Moravian institutions. By time, however, the competencies changed and the task to amass, store, catalogue, and scientifically process the extant music-historical sources went in the 1950s to the Institute of Musicology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and then, in 1965, to the Music Department of the Institute of History (today Music Museum) of the Slovak National Museum. The ongoing interdisciplinary and international collaboration improves the quality of the scientific activities of music-documentation institutes in Slovakia, which is facilitated also by their ongoing collaboration with other public institutions.

The article deals with the analysis of findings of Roman architectural terracotta from a late antique enclosed residence in Bratislava-Podunajské Biskupice. The main goal is to evaluate the subject collection in the context of the identified archaeological situations. An equally important part is the search for answers to questions related to their purpose, dating, as well as the provision of relevant information about the nature and type of assumed constructions and procedures used in the construction of this enclosed area. Despite the rare occurrence of fragments of Roman roofing on the site, based on the current state of research, it does not seem likely that this type of building material would be used in Bratislava-Podunajské Biskupice on archaeologically examined objects based on the layout and floor plan of the so-called ancient Roman tradition. On the contrary, the customer and the contractor apparently chose different construction solutions based on a combination of organic materials (wood, wicker or reed) and unburnt clay.

The paper is devoted to wine as a cultural and historical phenomenon in the Middle Ages. People consumed wine all their lives, as it was considered to be a universal medicine and a health-promoting drink. Literature on healthy living and medicine has almost always dealt with the consumption of wine. The way wine is consumed also appears in the so-called princely mirrors, manuals for the upbringing of royal and aristocratic children. Wine also accompanied prominent persons after death, as it was used to embalm the bodies of the deceased. Wine was popularly consumed not only in aristocratic settings, but also in cities, as we demonstrate in this study with the example of the city of Bratislava, which was an important wine producer in the Middle Ages. However, excessive wine consumption was also reflected in crime and the commission of various offences, often leading to death or murder.

The study is concerned with the first guest appearance of the piano virtuoso Clara Wieck (1819–1896) in Bratislava in 1838, hitherto unknown in Slovak music-historical literature. She presented works by Adolf Henselt and Fryderyk Chopin, and compositions of her own at concerts held on March 31 and April 2, 1838, organised by the director of the theatrical society Franz Pokorny. Local artists also appeared in the programme. Posters of the concerts have survived, along with mentions in Clara Wieck’s diary and references in her correspondence with Robert Schumann. The local press, however, did not make any mention of these concerts, in contrast to the artist’s two further guest appearances in Bratislava in 1856 and 1866.

Translation and interpreting teaching was established at Faculty of Arts Comenius University in Bratislava after the end of Faculty of Social Sciences (1974/1975). A turn in organization occurred in 2003 with the introduction of a Bachelor ś and Master ś program and the Faculty obtained accreditation for providing a complete three-degree study, thus also a doctoral study program for PhD in the field of translatology. At first it offered 5 language specialisations, though the option was spread by other languages which are studying in 13 translation departments. Translation study requires a live contact with the socio-cultural environment and so the students participate on programs ERAZMUS, CEEPUS, DAAD. Together with pedagogic activities the lectures attend the scientific research in the ambit of scientific programs (VEGA, KEGA). They also take part on national and foreign conferences.

To build environment after 1989 is among the aspects of Central and Eastern European cities most significantly affected by the post-socialist transitions. Although this might seem inevitable as the social settings producing urban forms changed dramatically, the political context of the urban built environment transformation provides an interesting area for a geographical inquiry. The city of Bratislava gives an example of how the 1989 agenda of democracy and participation have been just scarcely met in particular areas. This paper gives a relational analysis of urban governance focusing particularly on informal groups and NGOs in Bratislava advocating the conservation agenda by promoting the symbolical value of place and opposing large-scale development initiatives. It explores how during the last two decades, these preservationists acted in and affected local political opportunity structure, and thus participated in governance shifting.
