The study analyses the economic development and the development in the property rights of a 19th century important Central-European family, “Gebrüder Klein”. It presents strategies of this family enterprise which were from the 1820s focused at all types of building and construction work with a stress on road constructions, and from the 1830s also on a railway construction in the Austrian Empire. After the successful initial accumulation of their capital, the family expanded their business interests in many directions, mainly towards metallurgical industry and coal mining. Before the firm was established officially, the family enterprise consortium had received a very high income of many thousands florins. In 1847 the brothers signed a series of mutual contracts which divided the property and set the rules for the future family enterprise. It was only in 1853 when the so far existing consortium was transformed into a family company, “Gebrüder Klein”, which was registered at the district court in Brno and at trade courts in Vienna and Prague. “Gebrüder Klein” company then – until 1918 – covered a large part of entrepreneurial activities of the family. Based on the existing annual company reports and other archive materials, the author attempted to outline the development stages in the family enterprise, to disclose some micro- economic links and to label the motives leading to the crisis of the formerly successful family enterprise.

The purpose of this article is the analysis of the initial stages of modern transportation infrastructure on the strategically exposed area of Austrian Silesia during the reign of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. Following the Silesian wars the initial interest in high-quality road structure between Vienna and the wealthiest Habsburg province, Wroclaw, changed. The new purpose was to link Vienna with the centre of Austrian Silesia, Opava. Due to the geographical location of Austrian Silesia a link between east and west also became a necessity. The primary catalyst for the formation of transportation infrastructure in Austrian Silesia was the addition of Galicia, which resulted from the first partition of Poland. In order to ensure dominion in Austrian Silesia and in Galicia a new Silesio-Galician road from Opava to Bielsko was designed. It was constructed from 1775 until 1780. The reign of Josef II brought about a major change, he commissioned the construction of the strategically advantageous Galician Road, which linked Vienna with Galicia and upper Hungary, due to which the importance of Cieszyn Silesia as a transportation bridge increased even further. In the 80’s and 90’s of the 18th century in Cieszyn Silesia several more roads were built, they were supposed to ease transportation between Moravia, Austrian Silesia, Galicia and upper Hungary.

Slezská (prior 1919 called Polská) Ostrava is linked with the beginnings of coal mining in Ostrava region, which began as early as the last quarter of the 18th century. Mining activities caused the first damages to the building development around the mid-19th century and the increased mining output began to affect land use as well. These trends intensified in the 20th century. This case study analyzes the effect of the industrialization process on the landscape of the western part of the Ostrava-Karviná mining district; it is a part of a larger project, focused on the historical development of landscape in the Ostrava- Karviná mining district in the 19th and 20th centuries.
