Industrial heritage, as a specific segment of the heritage fund, is evaluated from the perspective of unique criteria - the traditional categories need to be re-interpreted in relation to industrial heritage. Two model examples, Frýdek-Místek and Krnov, deal with the questions of authenticity, limits of heritage protection (in terms of its enforcement and fulfilment), and finally the reasons for misunderstanding the values and potential of the industrial heritage. Foreign examples from Germany (Crimmitschau and Euskirchen) and Poland (Lodz) represent positive solutions that combine positive monument values with new uses of the monuments.

This paper discusses industrial heritage, i.e. the society‘s relationship with the remnants of defunct industrial infrastructure. We demonstrate the issues involved on the example of Brno, one of the key economic centres of the Czech lands. Brno owes this status to its early industrialization, especially the textile industry which dominated its economic landscape from the late 1700s. Early 1990s saw the total collapse of the industry which resulted, inter alia, in the city‘s landscape being dotted by abandoned, defunct and derelict industrial buildings and building complexes. Those are now viewed as impediments to city‘s development and the city is looking for new ways to utilize them. These efforts have been somewhat successful, for example in revitalizing a number of brownfields, but a large-scale solution is still a desideratum. As a result, a number of building with great historical and cultural value have been torn down, including the industrial site of Vlněna, one of the icons of the textile industry in Brno, which was demolished in 2016. A unique opportunity to preserve, transform and revitalize this unique complex of buildings with immense historical value was wasted and thus a significant part of the industrial identity of Brno was irrevocably lost.

The industrial architecture of the 19th and 20th century offers various ways in which it can be studied from the point of view of modern architectural history. In the same time, this notion is shared just by a small number of experts – historians, architects or art historians – and the subject of industrial heritage stays to a large extent a domain of civic activism. The growing interest of civic associations is driven by an outrage of rapid demolition of a number of key historical industrial sites in Bratislava in the recent past. In the contrast to the public interest, the expert research of industrial heritage might seem as less effective and understandable. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of existing expert research in a connection with interdisciplinary methods that are not yet developed sufficiently. The interdisciplinary team-work has to be done both on the level of official state heritage protection policies and civic activism, as it is confirmed also via contemporary international heritage discourse.
