Silny wpływ tradycjonalizmu kultury lokalnej na nieustannie warunkujący się rynek mody sprawił, że jego elementy zostały wcielone w życie i mają na celu sprostanie wymaganiom klientów. Zostały one rozpowszechnione przez człowieka znajdującego się w ciągłej podróży – realnej, rzeczywistej i wirtualnej, nierzeczywistej. Poprzez ową kolej rzeczy tworzy się globalna kultura, która zapoczątkowuje powstanie globalnego gustu. Celem procesu jest ujednolicenie mody i kultury do stanu uniwersalnego dla większości obywateli. Czy jednak sytuacja ta będzie właściwa? Co stanie się z indywidualizmem człowieka? Czy kultura lokalna całkowicie zaniknie? Oto pytania, na które starały się odpowiedzieć autorki artykułu.

The article contains the comparison between the biography and autobio-graphy of the writer, Vicki Baum as the icon of success. Vicki Baum (1888-1960) was one of the most famous writers in the 1930, and once described as German Colette. Baum’s career stages have been outlined here – being a professional harpist, an aspiring writer, an Ullstein publishing editor, the bestselling author in Germany, her huge success and its consequences i.e. film adaptation of the novel in America and her career in the US as a screen writer for the biggest film production companies in Hollywood. In her autobiography, Baum poses to be optimistic. However, between the lines of her text the longing for the unattainable can be seen as the author realized that many of her novels were regarded as popular literature.

Duke John Frederick, who was a claimant to the Szczecin (German: Stettin) throne, went on his first diplomatic journey to the Emperor’s Court in Vienna. The objective of the young Duke’s journey was to make Emperor Maximilian I give the Pomeranian fiefdom directly to the Griffins; thanks to that the Griffins would be equal to all the other dukes of the Reich. The preparation to the journey had been expensive as the Pomeranian Dukes wanted not only to come out well but they also wanted to support the Emperor in his war against the Ottoman Empire. In addition to that, the young Duke was to establish commercial contacts with the Hungarians from whom wine might be imported to Szczecin. During his stay at the Emperor’s Court the heir to the Szczecin throne wanted to present himself in the best possible manner in order to secure the Pomeranian interests. Even a special fund had been created to organize receptions during which John Frederick was supposed to have conversations important for the Duchy. He had been instructed to have all the agreements in writing because it was feared that other dukes and the emperor’s clerks might use chicanery during the Reich’s Parliament session in Augsburg. Little is known on the details of the route the duke travelled; he stayed in Poznań (German: Posen), Augsburg and Freiburg from where he set off to Vienna. On his way back home he passed through Linz, Munich, Augsburg and Kostrzyn (German: Kostschin). John Frederick’s journey, in spite of high costs, was profitable for the Duchy. He managed to obtain the fiefdom, and peace and stabilization were secured. The position of the Pomeranian Duchy in the Reich was reinforced; the proof for that was a peace conference organized in Szczecin, which ended the Northern Seven Years’ War.

Not many primary sources document the lives of ordinary Teutonic Knights who were not among the highest officials of the Order. Therefore, the preserved mentions from the town of Burgdorf, modern-day Switzerland, prove to be of great importance. These refer to two Teutonic Knights, Konrad and Rudolf von Kyburg, who returned to their homeland during the summer of 1383. It is all the more interesting due to the fact that the older of the two – Konrad – was referred to in a document of 1375 as an ordinary Teutonic Knight staying in Balga. His younger brother is also likely to have served in the Teutonic Order in Prussia. The reason for their journey home was the Burgdorf War, which was started in November of 1382 by their nephew Rudolf II von Kyburg, who made an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the town of Solothurn. It resulted in a conflict with Bern, which was the most powerful city in that region. The return of Konrad and Rudolf to their homeland would not have been possible without the approval of their superiors, including the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. The scarce primary sources that were preserved indicate that the two Teutonic Knights tried to alleviate the conflict by diplomatic means, however, without success. They were given a certain amount of time before they were obliged to return to Prussia. The issue of financing the journey is really interesting. Even though the presence of the two Teutonic Knights was certainly beneficial for the von Kyburg family, it is highly unlikely that the relatives covered their travel expenses, as the family had been impoverished long before the war even began, and it needed to allocate all the available resources for the defense of the ancestral castle. Thus, the Teutonic Order was forced, against its thirteenth-century rules, not only to approve but also finance the purely private journey of its two longtime members to their homeland.
