Marian devotion is one of the enduring values of the Christian East and West, which are largely associated with the work of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Great Moravia. Sanctuary on Marian Hill in Levoča is undoubtedly one of the most important Marian shrines in Slovakia. Especially in the last four decades, it has received more attention not only in Slovakia, but also in Europe and worldwide. In 1984 it was declared as Basilica Minor, in 1995 it was visited by Pope John Paul II. In 2005 it was included in the association European Marian Network, in 2009 it obtained a spiritual alliance with the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. In 2013 it became one among more than three hundred most important shrines worldwide, which are united every year in the Annual Global Rosary Relay for the sanctification of priests. In 2016 it was included in the Slovakian section of Camino de Santiago and in 2019 it hosted members of the European Marian Network on the occasion of their seventeenth regular session. In the sketched context, the article presents the Marian Hill in Levoča focusing on its growing international significance. It briefly deals with its earlier – local history, and in more detail newer – global history.

Urban identity or the genius loci of a town is a concept that has evolved throughout history and is determined by various aspects of the city and its architecture. On the example of the city walls in Levoča, this study discusses how city walls contribute to the creation and preservation of a distinctive urban identity of a historic town. The discussion consists primarily of three aspects – the function of city walls, their representation in visual sources and their conservation and reconstruction. On the example of the Košice Gate in Levoča, it will be argued that by conserving city fortifications, we are able to preserve the unique character and the identity of the town. Overall it will be argued that the Levoča fortification system, although not completely preserved, has contributed to the creation and preservation of the town’s unique identity.

Among the new melodies from the editions of the Slovak hymnbook Cithara Sanctorum published in 1674 and 1684, apart from melodies carried over (principally German and Czech). There are also 35 anonymous tunes of domestic origin, attested only in Hungarian sources. In terms of musical style, these tunes belong to two strata – the older early baroque and the later with style elements of high baroque. The identification of older tunes is made possible by, among other things, their incidence in the form of four- or five-voice adaptations in German, Hungarian and Slovak manuscript sources. While the edition of 1674, which was prepared by Jeremiáš Lednický, furnishes numerous tunes in both the older and more modern styles, the later edition by Daniel Sinapius Horčička is more conservative in its selection of domestic tunes and presents only melodies from an older layer, which hitherto had not been recorded in printed sources.

The article concerns the group of twelve figures presenting the apostles. They are located in the retable in the church of St James in Levoča. First, the article presents the original context of the figures' creation. The author supports an argument, long known in relevant literature that the figures were part of the adornment of the retable which was placed in the choir of St James church in Levoča in the 14th century. The main thesis of the article is the assumption that while creating the concept of the new retable Pavel of Levoča not only used the figures themselves, but he was also inspired by the structure of the previous retable when designing the new one.

The aim of the study is to clarify the issue of liturgical competences of bishops in the medieval Kingdom of Hungary in relation to the benediction and consecration of sacral objects. The study deals with the analysis of clerical hierarchy of the historical Spiš region at the beginning of the 16th century as well as with the case of the discovery of reliquary put into the altar by Master Paul in St Jacob’s Basilica in Levoča during the consecration. Based on the new interpretation of this discovery and by means of liturgical texts serving during the consecration ceremony, it specifies the date of the altar’s origin. It clarifies the issue of liturgical competences of Hungarian bishops in the Middle Ages as well as the issue of the inceptions of the suffragan bishop’s service in the archdiocese of Esztergom at the beginning of the 16th century.

The article is focuses on the German state reformed secondary school in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century from its inception to the completion of its activities. This example shows the development of the German education during the first Czechoslovak Republic. The focus is not only on teachers, pupils and the structure of curricula, but also on extra-curricular activities of students and the closely related issue of German Scouts movement. In this regard, the contribution deals also with the formation, organization and development of the German Scout Association “Verein der Pfadfinder in der Slowakei” in the Spiš, which was founded in 1932 by the group of students of the German grammar school in Levoča. Attention is paid to the principles of this association (for example, the principle of racial purity) which were contrary to the principles of civil society in Czechoslovakia. In addition, this contribution approaches also the provocative behaviour of the German youth in the Spiš at the beginning of the thirties and the incompatibility between the members of the association and the students who did not belong to the association. A part of the paper is devoted to a change in perception of the German youth as a result of Hitler’s influence on the movement. The association of “Verein der Pfadfinder in der Slowakei” affected in many ways the civil relations in Levoča during the third decade of the 20th century. Particularly, it was the affirmation of the principles that were contrary to the principles of democratic society, as well as the negative attitude and bullying of students of Jewish religious community by members of the Pfadfinderverein at the state German reformed secondary school in Levoča. Prohibition of activities of Pfadfinderverein and subsequent investigation and prosecution of many of its members were proof that the social climate in Levoča was not in favour of developing similar extreme ideologies.

This article seeks new perspectives on one of Central Europe’s most important ensembles of late medieval art and architecture – the parish church of St. James in Levoča, where research on the furnishings as a system in sacred space has been hindered by the sparsity of written sources. By expanding the scope of enquiry to take in some unstudied sources from the Reformation period, it shows how a medieval topography and furnishings were retained and developed by a Lutheran congregation that proved unusually tolerant of traditional practices.
