GROUND ESTATES MERENBERG (RADLJE OB DRAVI) AND RAČE IN THE EARLY NEW AGE

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Zemljiški gospostvi Marenberg (Radlje ob Dravi) in Rače v zgodnjem novem veku predstavlja najprej oris zgodovinskega razvoja, lastniških odnosov ter pomemnejših dogodkov na prostoru obeh v naslovu omenjenih zemljiških gospostev. V drugem delu pa je posebej predstavljen zgodovinski vir: uradni popis podložnih hišnih gospodarjev iz leta 1754. Popis je bil izveden na zahtevo Marije Terezije kot del predvidene vojaške in davčne reforme. V tem obdobju se je začelo popisovanje prebivalstva, njegove strukture in dejanskega posestnega stanja. Oblast je tako želela dobiti splošen pregled o prebivalstvu in bistvene podatke za reforme na področju vojaškega nabornega sistema. Štetje je bilo izvedeno za gospostva in župnije. Diplomsko delo vsebuje dva popisa: za gospostvo Marenberg, s sedežem v današnjih Radljah ob Dravi, in za gospostvo Kranichsfeldt, s sedežem v današnjih Račah. V popisu najdemo podložnike z naslednjimi statusi: celi kmetje, tričetrtinski, polovični in četrtinski kmetje, kajžarji in vinogradniški kajžarji ter gostači in viničarji. Pri določenih je tudi podan rokodelski poklic. Popis nam danes omogoča natančen vpogled v socialne strukture tedanjega časa in v položaj podložnikovDiploma work entitled Ground Estates of Marenberg (Radlje ob Dravi) and Rače in the Early New Age represent an outline of historical development, ownership relationships’ and more important events in the area of both Ground Estates mentioned in the diploma work title.
