  • In the eastern Czech Republic lies the picturesque Moravia, with its individual regions being very diverse. The flatlands of Hana give way to hillsides and vineyards which in turn make room for the steep slopes of Kopanitsa on the Moravian-Silesian boundary. Visiting areas along the Moravian river, we get to learn more about the people who live here and their cultural traditions.

    I used to know a lady from Brno. Her father owned the first electricity powered factory in all of Moravia ( pronounced Mo-rah-via). She lived through WW1 and WW2, losing 3 fortunes whenever the currency changed. So she was alive during the Austro-Hungarian empire. Her brothers were transported to work in Wehrmacht factories that provisioned the war munition requirements. Then emigrated to Australia in the 50s. The lady passed sometime in the 2000s.
    She spoke beautiful high German.

      My great-grandfather immigrated to New York from Bohemia in 1912. It is interesting because his first Naturalization form from 1915 says his origin is "Bohemia, Austria" and on his second marriage naturalization from 1921 it says his origin is "The Czecho-Slovak" Republic.

      Brno was a very German city up till the end of WW2. My grandma was born there in the 1930s, she lived through the forced removal of Germans at the end of the war and I think it was something of a traumatic experience, I have only got her to talk about it once and she still did not say that much... They had a German neighbour who gave her brother remedial classes and whom I understand they were really fond of. (We're Czech.)

      That's the majority of the country and doesn't really narrow it down, though. 😅 The only region remaining is Silesia, and we've only got a tiny sliver of it, most of historical Silesia is in Poland.

      In fact, we are all educated, mostly with at least 13 years of schooling, working in industry and services. Farming and viticulture is done with heavy machinery and you will practically never meet a horse or a cow (unless you ride in a club). But most of us prefer life in the countryside, we go to the city to the office and in our spare time we cultivate gardens and vineyards. We rejoice in the heritage of our ancestors, in the fruits of the earth, in wine, music and songs. We wish all the people in the world only the best.

      Also the sentence saying something like Olomouc gets its name from olomoucké tvarůžky is, of course, utter nonsense; it's the other way round, the cheeses are named after the city.

      In a very, very roundabout way.
      It started out in the 15th century as the Unity of Brethren and the very first congregations were actually in Bohemia. But in the 16th century the church was supported and protected by major Moravian noblemen, so the centre of their activities moved to South Moravia. Then in the 17th century, as part of the events of the Thirty Year War, non-Catholic churches in the country were banned. But there still were people who secretly remained Protestant. Several of these then emigrated from Moravia to Herrnhut in Germany, where they renewed the church. So it's called Moravian because these people who founded the renewed Unity of Brethren were from Moravia, but the original-original roots of the church are Bohemian, and the renewed church was probably more German than Czech.

      @@uganda_mn397 I suppose I do, though still as a layperson, not a full-blown historian. 😁 It's part of my church's history (ČCE, due to the complicated history of Czech Protestantism it draws on and unifies about four different historical strands of Protestantism). And, well, it's also generally interesting as history, and I'm interested in history. The history of Unity of Brethren is also quite crucial for the history of Czech language and culture in general, because in that era when they were supported by influential Moravian noblemen, they also had many influential scholars - Comenius is most famous, but there's also the Kralice Bible translation to which many of their scholars contributed and which helped preserve literary Czech language during the period of Habsburg germanisation. 🙂
