A theme of mutual Czech-German relations in Bohemia remains in spite of a growing interest of historiographers, especially in two last decades, an area which includes a lot of unknown spaces all the time. These conditions concern a bilateral coexistence between Czech and German inhabitants in České Budějovice, too. The town had bordered on a zone of a continuous German settlement, creating a broad belt from Šumava's foothills to Novohradské Hory in South Bohemia and an Austrian region of Waldviertel by the year 1945. The town itself had to begin facing a public life's radicalization, causing by a strengthening nationalism on both the Czech and the German side. A merchant Josef Taschek who held a portreeve's office from 1903 to a proclamation of the independent Czech state in the year 1918, became a leading individuality at the German camp from the last quarter of the 19th century. His daily-notes are deposited in the State Archive in České Budějovice and represent, according to a stint of archive sources for a life of a local German society, very valuable testament whose part an author of the construed bachelor work has decided to dispark and explicate in the event's context of that time. |
