As opposed to Germany, in Poland there was little interest in a local identity for a long time. The 1960s brought about terms such as 'private homeland' or 'ideological homeland', which were introduced by researchers. Those notions were not significant from the point of view of a socialistic country. Poland was supposed to be a homogeneous and uniform country as far as national values were concerned. This mostly applies to western and northern territories, which became part of Poland after World War II. A typical example of such a case was the Lubuskie region. After the war, the Polish population started to flow into the western and northern territories from all over Poland. The new settlers to the Lubuskie region met not only the leaving Germans, but the Polish autochthons as well. Together with the coming Polish settlers and the establishment of the new Polish administration, the German cultural heritage integration process began. An evident Polish influence on the Lubuskie region was the change in the field of topographic terminology. Unfortunately, all other German traits were eradicated as well. That state of affairs caused particular anxiety among the native Polish population. The percentage of such actions was scarce, especially on the territory of the Lubuskie region, yet the authorities trying to prove their point were emphasizing the fact of their existence. However, many autochthons who were waiting for 'their Poland' felt uneasy about the changes. The settlers who came to the Lubuskie region did not know the history, hence could not remember the past of that area. Everything was unfamiliar to them: the scenery, the landscape, the aesthetic values as well as the symbolic meanings. Moreover, the culture, the buildings, the agriculture development plan and the regional history were all strange to them. However, the passing time gave grounds to a slow yet steady change of the attitude of the new inhabitants towards the land itself as well as the historical background. The recognition and respect of the whole cultural heritage provides a possibility to find a common language with Germans.

This study describes the history of the parish of Lochenice from the perspective of historical demography. The parish was located in a valley on the Elbe River, and their inhabitants mainly worked in agriculture. The data are based on records from registers of births, weddings and deaths and the method of anonymous excerption was used. It is possible to observe an increase in the age of first-time spouses in the first half of the 19th century (the maximum age of men was about 29 and women about 27), followed by slight successive decreases again. The beginning of the 19th century represents the end of the mortality crisis; the last one struck the parish in 1806. But it was not the end of epidemics, and cholera, typhoid, the pox, dysentery, and rubella, etc., were common until the end of 19th century. Another cause of numerous deaths was tuberculosis. The end of the 19th century is regarded as the beginning of the demographic revolution - the rise of birth control and falling mortality rates. But in Lochenice parish there were no such trends.

This study describes the history of the parish of Zitenice from the perspective of historical demography. The village is located in northern Bohemia near town Litomerice in a valley on the Elbe River. The population development of Zitenice in the 19th century revealed certain changes in the demographic behaviour of the population. At the start of the century, the conditions for the development of the village were not very favourable, the fertility rate was relatively low, and that combined with a relatively high mortality rate resulted in the stagnation of population size. After overcoming this crisis, Zitenice experienced a more positive period of development manifested in larger increases in the size of the population and an increasing number of buildings. During the last twenty years of the 19th century it is evident that a transition to a new type of demographic behaviour occurred. Mortality and fertility rates decreased significantly. The rates of natural growth were still relatively high, but the overall increase in the size of the population was substantially decreased by emigration.

The Kashubian Institute - a society of scholars connected in various ways with Kashubia and Pomerania - was grounded in Gdansk in 1996. Among its founders and members are scholars from different academic centres in Poland and abroad; a majority of them represent the humanities. The aims of the Institute comprise initiation and conducting of scientific research, publishing activity and supporting young scholars. To date, achievements of the KI include scores of conferences and over a hundred publications, such as basic works on the history and sociology of Kashubians, biographies of outstanding Kashubian activists and writers, volumes of prose and poetry, as well as memoirs and monographs of tows and villages. The Institute, with the help of external financial assistance, cooperates with the Kashubian-Pomeranian Association and the Museum of Kashubian-Pomeranian Literature and Music in Wejherowo as well as with other similar institutions in Poland and Europe, also with Kashubian communities in America. An important part of the activity of the KI is collaboration with teachers within the scope of regional education - not only in Kashubia but also other regions of Pomerania. The 'trademark' of the KI is the yearbook 'Acta Cassubiana'.

The image of the town of Šahy in the mirror of the works of Nicolaus Istuanfius, Matthias Belius, Ignaz Aurelius Fessler, András Vályi, Elek Fényes and Samu Borovszky points out that the first written records in the preserved documents were mentioned in the first half of the 13th century and the history of the town was closely connected with the Hunt-Poznan family or the local Premonstratensian convent. The activities of the Premonstratensian monks, the gradual acquisition of various city rights and the increase in population during the High and Late Middle Ages strengthened the strategic importance of the town step by step. However, this positive trend disrupted the Ottoman invasion. This devastating effects along with events of 1552 led to an escape of the inhabitants, to burning of the town or to relocation of the convent archives. The town has long been suffering from the negative effects of the Ottoman presence and the political or religious fragmentation of the Kingdom of Hungary, even after the expulsion of the Ottomans from the country. The 19th century contributed to the effective modernization of the town. As Šahy became the administrative centre of the Hont County, new institutions and various associations were established and intellectual milieu was stimulated. However, the 19th century also had its downsides. Despite advancing health education and improving health care, the fight against infectious diseases has often been futile, causing people to experience family tragedies. This is evidenced by the information extracted from the registries used in the study in connection with the cholera pandemic.

The aim of this paper is to explore the transformation in the relationship of the German minority to the Frýdlant, Liberec and Jablonec regions in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, based on research into Heimatkunde (local culture and heritage studies). The paper picks out the way in which Heimatkunde was gradually appropriated by the nationalists, until it eventually became part of the “völkisch” trend. It was used to construct a shared identity amongst Sudetenlanders, as a political tool in the push for the minority’s autonomy. Regional identity developed into a platform from which the stereotyped elements that formed acceptable, effective points of identity for the entire German-speaking minority were drawn and gradually moulded, becoming the foundations for a common identity. Other modernisation processes also played a major role alongside nationalism: in particular industrialisation, urbanisation and the development of a civil society and self-government. From among the many areas that make up Heimatkunde which can be used to illustrate this process, I have chosen to focus in this paper on the relationship to the landscape. When one examines the physical aspects of the landscape, a clear progression can be observed in publications on Heimatkunde in which emphasis shifts from topographical descriptions to the use of local potential (industrial and also tourist potential). Against this backdrop, a stereotype emerged for the German minority of a hardy people who were able to prosper in harsh upland conditions through hard work and enterprise. The administrative aspect of Heimatkunde focused on the relationship between the periphery and the centre and on self-government, and was often linked with the issue of settlement. This led to increasing emphasis on the stereotype of the Sudetenlanders as bearers of culture and on the issue of the right of national ownership.

In this article, changes in the meanings attributed to and local relations with General Gablenz's memorial – a local monument and reminder of the 1866 Prussian-Austrian War – are observed over the period from its construction to the present. First, the role of the memorial in memory studies is presented in terms of its semiotic-content structures and three basic functions of festivities that establish its social significance. Second, the use of historical consciousness or local cultural memory is considered as a methodical concept for the study of this monument, which fulfilled a social role not at the national level, but only in the regional context within the collective memory of the local community. Third, the concept of local culture memory is applied and described from the point of view of various actors (subjects of memory places) of commemorative practices (military associations, city leaders, etc.) during the ceremonial inauguration of the monument in 1868, during the solemn deposition of General Gablenz’s relicts in the monument in 1905, and during the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the deposition of those relicts in 2005. It is obvious that the significance of this monument as a place of memory has been shaped by the local community, but at the same time it itself became an important source of identity for this society because of its ability to preserve his living memory.
