| Description | This lecture deals with the everyday routine of the escorted return home in a Moravian village within the Lichtenstein domain Krumlov. The escorted return home, i.e. the forced transport of persons to their home municipalities, ranks among very interesting phenomena of the Austrian history. How did the fact of escorts change the everyday life in the villages on the main escort routes? This lecture submits hypothetic answers to so far untutored questions: How did the residents perceive the escorted people? What problems had to be resolved by the domain steward and by a local bailiff? Could the escort members defend themselves legally where the confided persons escaped from the escorted return? The subject method is a series of “photographic shots”, i.e. imaginary pictures originated on the basis of an analysis of particular events of 1828 in a south Moravian village Branišovice. |
