Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: Tiplič, Slovenske gorice, Lenart, Kontrolor Škrobar, Alojz Kraigher, national political struggle Abstract: This piece presents the life and work of dr. France Tiplič, the first Slovenian doctor who served as a district doctor in Lenart from 1900 until his death in 1918. In his novel Kontrolor Škrobar, Tiplič's long-time friend and fellow inhabitant Alojz Kraigher describes the turbulent political life and the national struggle between Germans and nationally conscious Slovenians in Slovenske gorice and especially in Lenart on the eve of the First World War. He implemented real historical events into his novel; the names of literary characters bear names with a noticeable extra-literary reference behind which are real and recorded historical persons. Among others, the character of dr. Njivar was modelled after France Tiplič. The authors give a historiographical outline of the national frictions in Lenart and a description of the political activity of France Tiplič. What is more, they analysed the literary representation of events with historical facts, reinforced with archive materials, correspondence and existing scholarly literature.

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: First World War, Brežice earthquake and its surroundings, January 29, 1917, restoration of earthquake zone, collection of funds for reconstruction, Aleksander Tornquist, Franciscan monastery Excerpt: Towards the end of the First World War, in the middle of winter, on January 29, 1917, Brežice and its surroundings was devastated by a severe earthquake, one of the worst in recent Slovenian history. Written exclusively on the basis of primary archival sources, this paper speaks of the suffering of the local population brought about by this natural disaster, of the difficult restoration of the affected area, of collection of resources for the affected population, and the response of local, provincial and state authorities, including the Habsburg dynasty, to the situation. It especially touches on the role and importance of military authorities (e.g. the Fifth Army, or the replacement battalion of the 87th infantry regiment), which were, in wartimes, the only authorities in charge of helping the affected population. Additionally, this paper highlights the field work of one of the most important seismologist in the monarchy at the time, Prof. Dr. Aleksander Tornquist, and the problem of restoration of the completely collapsed Franciscan monastery in Brežice.

The paper is devoted to a relatively recently researched subject – the relations between the Lithuanians and the Belorussians and the role of the latter in the genesis of the Lithuanian state in the early twentieth century. At the start of the First World War in the German-occupied regions there was a chance to re-establish the Republic of the Two Nations for the first time after 1795. However, that was not the German intention. Initially they supported only the illusion of the re-establishment of Lithuanian statehood in the lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. In this policy there was also some space for the rudiments of the political activity of Lithuanian and Belorussian intellectuals. Since the beginning of the ‘Los von Russland’ Campaign of 1916 it is possible to trace certain open efforts to obtain Lithuanian and Belorussian statehood. In the Lithuanian political struggle formulas of historical and ethnic statehood were applied taking into consideration the practical political manoeuvres of the warring countries. After the declaration of Polish statehood on 5 November 1916 the ethnic model became more important. In the east an ethnic Lithuanian state was to coincide with the historic ‘Lithuania Proper’. That was a basis for more or less constructive relations with the Belorussians, who also preferred to adhere to the historical formula. After the February Revolution, when the Belorussians started requiring the historical statehood of the whole of the GDL, contacts were broken, and they were renewed in the autumn of 1917 after the election of the Lithuanian Council (Taryba).

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Keywords: Austro-Hungarian army, First World War, military life, military rules, military values, Slovenian soldiers, patriotism, loyalty Abstract: The author gives a careful review of the important moments of sustainability of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, which was reflected in her military, power, and stability during the First World War. The review covers everything from the adoption of the agreement of the transformation of the Austrian Empire into the Dual monarchy in 1867 to the question of the military arrangement of the joint Austro-Hungarian army and its functioning. In the article, the author does not deal with a review of military developments, which has been elaborated in historiography, but with the formal image of a Slovenian soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army through an analysis of various military documents, rules, and instructions through the prism of values as a framework for the functioning, and behaviour of individuals independently and in the group. Thus, in this analysis, he focuses mainly on how and in what way individual military values such as honour, courage, loyalty, camaraderie, and dedication are reflected in various military rules and guidelines.

Andrej Čebokli (1893–1923), a countryman of Gorica, voluntarily enlisted in the Austro-Hungarian armed forces at the beginning of the First World War. He was on various fronts of the First World War and reached a brilliant military career. In 1916 he found himself on the Isonzo front. From the first day of his military service until 1919, he continually wrote a diary, in which he thought about the cruel consequences of the war on the front and in the hinterland, described the beauty of the local landscape, worked literary plans, believed in the near-disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and was impressed by the October Revolution.

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: 1917, Prekmurje, Novine weekly, Jožef Klekl Abstract: In this paper the publishing of Klekl in the penultimate year of the First World War is presented. The population in Prekmurje got most of its news from the frontlines from the local newspaper Novine, which was published and edited by priest Jožef Klekl. Most of the content is related to the conditions at home (Prekmurje) and more broadly (Austria-Hungary). News deemed of special importance was news in the crime section (general shortage, theft, smuggling) and news of missing or dead compatriots. In this section Klekl also used his editorial right to point out and warn about false local "news", and publish denials. Entertaining and worrisome local and foreign news are also not lacking. Amongst the latter especially reports on events in Russia, South America, the United States and Palestine, stand out.

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovenian (Abstract in Slovenian and English, Summary in English) Key words: Carinthia, First World War, Economy, the Church, May declaration, Carinthian Slovenians, 1917 Abstract: In this paper the author considers the position of the Land of Carinthia during the First World War with emphasis on the year 1917. Firstly, he exposes the hinterland position of Carinthia, which was drastically altered by the entry of Italy into the war in 1915 on the side of the Entente powers. On the Austro-Hungarian-Italian border, a new frontline was formed which ran along the River Isonzo over mountain tops all the way to the Swiss border. A part of the frontline also ran across the southwestern part of Carinthia, where the areas most affected by Italian barrages were the Kanal and upper Zilja valleys. In the rest of Carinthia all was geared towards supporting the army on the battlefield. At the same time the authorities, by limiting personal freedoms, triggered persecution of Slovenian priests, who were often sent to prison over deliberate fabrications.

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: Yugoslav Club, Emperor Charles I, May declaration, Anton Korošec, Anton Bonaventura Jeglič, Ljubljana statement, National Council for Slovenia and Istria Abstract: Before the First World War, Slovenians were regarded as the most loyal followers of the Habsburg dynasty, but they opposed the dualistic organizational structure of the Monarchy. The realization of their national goals was long sought after within the framework of the Habsburg Monarchy, but it was a while before a turnaround happened in favor of the Yugoslavs. Even the May Declaration, which was read by the chairman of the Yugoslav Club Anton Korošec in the National Assembly on May 30, 1917, aimed at the Yugoslav state under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty. The heir apparent Franz Ferdinand planed for constitutional changes in favor of Southern Slavs, and after he was assassinated the new Emperor Charles I. also sought changes in these directions. These were opposed energetically by the Hungarians and German nationalists. The new emperor did not have strong support in Vienna, and he lost all of it after the Sixtus affair. The consequence of this was that he lacked the necessary support for constitutional changes or solving of the Yugoslav question.

In the center of the article author’s attention is the book “Twilight of Europe” by G. A. Landau, which is sometimes regarded as direct predecessor of O. Spengler’s works. The article is devoted to G. A. Landau’s views on the nature of political, social, and legal processes in Europe after the First World War. The special attention is paid to the circumstances that Landau believed to be the signs of European civilization ill-being: the collapse of empires, nationalism, and the inclusion of the masses in the political life. Accordingly, the emphasis is placed on Landau’s evaluation of such concepts as “militarism”, “empire”, “nation”, etc.

AbstractOn 11 October 1947 Paul Tillich conducted the wedding service of Dankwart Rüstow and Rahel Löwe. He gave the church’s blessing to the son and daughter of two friends, Alexander Rüstow and Adolf Löwe, whom he had known since his time as a Privatdozent in Berlin. Both had been involved to different degrees in the Kairos-Circle which had formed around Tillich immediately after the First World War. The sermon, which was unknown for a long time, is published here in a critical edition together with a historical introduction. Tillich makes use of two key concepts, ‘scattering’ and ‘re-unifying’ to illustrate marriage as a sign of the Exile.
