Economic and social impacts of transfer of Germans during the years 1945-1947 in Jesenicko

The bachelor thesis is focusing on one of the most important moments in the history of Jesenicko, which took place during the years 1945 - 1947, when, within the transfer of Germans, a majority of local residents was displaced from this almost all German border area. The German-Czech relationship development in Jesenicko is summed up in the first part of the thesis. Particular measures against Germans as well as Benes decrees and the transfer of Germans are analyzed in detail in the second part. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to assess the consequences of transfer of Germans that are mentioned in the third part. The emphasis is placed on economic and social impacts that are completed with a practical demonstration of a change in asset-legal relations in one village in Jesenicko. A part of the analysis is also a replacement of the German minority by new settlers in the process of settlement. The bachelor thesis is based on unpublished (archived, oral history) and published resources and special literature and it uses historical and economic methods (i.a. statistical, biographical)
