| Description | This tribute deals with the everyday routine of the escorted return home in a Moravian village within the Lichtenstein domain of 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 along the main escort routes? This study 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? What were the defence strategies of the accused escort members? What position was adopted by the country estate officers in the face of the examinants? The subject method is a series of “photographic shots”, i.e. imaginary pictures originated on the basis of an analysis of particular events of July 4th, 1828 in a south Moravian village Branišovice. |
