Extinct modern age glassworks from the perspective of active archaeological preservation using the examples of Šumava National Park areas

Ján Čáni, Lenka Militká

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):12-19  

The extinct modern age glasswork represents a valuable and very interesting part of the archaeological heritage of the Czech Republic. This type of archaeological monument, however, despite its undeniable importance and high occurrence, stands at the edge of both archaeological and heritage professional interest. This article tries to present what all was preserved from the extinct modern glasswork operations in the landscape, and also to highlight the threats that these archaeological sites are facing. When selecting presented sites, the article builds on hitherto results of a non-destructive survey of selected extinct glassworks from the Central...

Location of the altar after the liturgical reform of the 2nd Vatican Council using the example of churches in Prague

Filip Srovnal

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):20-25  

The most visible change in the Roman Catholic liturgy of the 2nd Vatican Council (1962-1965) became the transition from worship towards the east ("ad orientem") to a celebration towards the people ("versus populum"). Even though this change was not dictated by any official document of the Catholic Church (only recommended), it caused major changes in church interiors. Emphasis is therefore placed on an analysis of church documents relating to the location and orientation of the altars. A selection of Prague churches is subsequently interpreted against this backdrop. The article concludes that there does not exist a single method by which to address...

The life and work of the Opava organ builder Karl Kuttler (1797-1876)

Jiří Krátký

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):26-36  

Karl Kuttler (1797-1576) has been referred to as an organist and manufacturer of musical instruments, although no non-organ instrument from him has ever been discovered. It may be assumed, however, that a number of his repairs and organ constructions are yet to be discovered in the future in the context of ongoing archival and field research; a number of his realizations are already known. His radius of activity included the Czech region of Silesia, northern and central Moravia, Cieszyn Silesia, and Prussia. His largest preserved instrument is located in relatively pristine condition in a Protestant church in Biale, having 27 registers, two of which...

Art collections of the Luka nad Jihlavou castle as related to the figure of Countess Anna Widmann-Sedlnitzky, née Lazarev

Lucie Bláhová, Jana Petrová

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):37-44  

The castle in Luka nad Jihlavou is one of a number of subtle noble residences scattered throughout the Czech countryside. Until 1945, however, this building concealed a great cultural treasure in an extremely high-quality art collection. The castle was built in late Baroque style in the 1740's by Maximilian Ulrich Kaunitz as his country residence. In 1768 the estate was bought from the Kaunitz family by the Widmanns, originally a German family which acquired citizenship in Bohemia in 1720. In 1864, Victor Emmanuel Widmann, Earl of Sedlnitzká, married Anna Emma Lazarev. Anna was the daughter of Major General Lazarev and Antoinetta Frederica, the princess...

Richly decorated Dutch carriages (duwslee and prikslee types) from Czech and Moravian aristocratic collections

Šárka Kolářová

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):51-60  

The article is one result of a targeted survey of the mobiliary funds of Czech castles and is focused on historical sleds and their pictorial sources. The subject of interest here is a group of ten richly decorated sleds designed for ice from a time span of the 18th to 19th centuries and which represent two distinct and unmistakable types of Dutch sled, the duwslee and prikslee. From the perspective of a sled property fund, they represent a numerous group that is unfortunately scattered throughout exhibitions at several castles in Bohemia and Moravia. Given their Dutch provenance, the most likely hypothesis is that they entered the collections of the...

Baroque liturgical silver of the former Jesuit college in Brno, preserved in the diocesan cathedral on Petrov and the Marian pilgrimage church in Brno-Turany

Anna Grossová

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):61-67  

When conducting art historical work related to Baroque liturgical objects made of precious and nonferrous metals, we must bear in mind the assumption that many of them were made for another religious entity than the one that now owns it. A characteristic example of this is the collection of Baroque liturgical silver owned by the Brno chapter of St. Peter and Paul, exhibited in the cathedral at Petrov, which includes several articles produced on direct order of the Jesuits in Brno. This religious order is also tied to two silver items preserved in the pilgrimage church of the Annunciation in Brno-Turany, whose spiritual administration in 1666-1773 was...

Copies, replicas, "á la Brandl". The response to Peter Brandl in Eastern Bohemia

Petr Arijčuk

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):68-77  

A significantly larger number of works than truly exist is generally associated with Peter Brandl (1668-1735) as a key figure in Baroque painting in Bohemia, particularly on the pages of older inventory and dictionary literature as well as in older source reports. In addition, the authorship of many other paintings are ascribed to Brandl's student, Brandl's follower, Brandl's circle, and in Brandl's manner. We encounter this situation in eastern Bohemia as well, a place that provided this artist with repeated employment opportunities in the 1720's and first half of the 1730's.In the context of Brandl's activities in eastern Bohemia, and on the...

"To create a pulpit with tight stone". A study on the material, typology, and function of medieval pulpits in southern Bohemia with regard to neighboring regions

Roman Lavička

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):78-86  

Preaching reached a point of significant development in Europe in the 13th century, when the Mendicant orders focused on the emerging urban society in order to assist in the fight against heretics. Monks preached during Mass and began to operate in churches as well as outdoors. From the mid-14th century, however, we observe an increase in the popularity of preaching in parish churches, as dissatisfaction with the method that the orders expressed themselves increased.The portable wooden pulpit came into existence for sermons in the open air. Its appearance is mentioned using words like stool, box, tun, or barrel, and period depictions show that...

Summary of the issue of surveying the montane landscapes of the Ore Mountains

Tomáš Karel, Alžběta Kratochvílová, Ondřej Malina

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):87-92  

This article summarizes the specifics of the montane landscapes as part of the newly declared landscape conservation zones in the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) for which a detailed heritage survey was conducted. The specifics of the Ore Mountains montane landscape, however, require the usage of a combination of survey methods. The basic determinant affecting the readability of the historical development of the area is the dramatic shaping of the landscape, caused not only by natural mountain conditions and its own lignite activities, but also the wide range of post-montane activities including topographical applanation for economic use and demolition...

Fire protection of heritage monuments in Norway and the Czech Republic

Pavel Jirásek, Daniel Rexa, Petr Svoboda

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):93-95  

The article introduces the fire protection system in Norway. It describes the project of protecting columned churches which, from the original number of about 1,500, only 28 have survived to date, then it discusses the fire protection system in the Røros UNESCO reservation. The authors used their experience gained during their study trips or long stays in the country, where fire protection of heritage properties is on an outstanding level, especially concerning wooden buildings. The article also provides a comparison between Norway and the Czech Republic, not only regarding the levels of fire protection of heritage properties, but particularly...

Heritage protection of archaeological sites with immovable relics. Possibilities for their protection using the example of three fortified settlements located in a forested environment

Pavla Popelářová

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):96-105  

In the Czech Republic there are many sites that are archaeological in nature, but only a fraction of them are currently protected by law in some way. This article begins by addressing the general issue of the declaration and registration of all sites at the time of effectiveness of Act no. 22/1958 Coll., On Cultural Properties and Act no. 20/1987 Coll., On State Heritage Preservation, and then provides an overview of listed monuments that are archaeological in nature and which are listed by the Czech National Heritage Institute in the Central List of Cultural Properties (ÚSKP). As can be seen from graph no. 3, by the end of 2015 there were recorded...

Charcoal houses and other possible archaeological relics on the slopes between Chrábek and Sloupečník creeks in cadastral areas of Ráječko and Petrovice

Alena Knechtová, Leoš Vašek, Martin Hložek

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):106-112  

The article reports on the second phase of a research project whose aim was the utilization of evaluated data from airborne laser scanning (ALS) as part of a nondestructive visual field survey of minor archaeological relics in the landscape, in this particular case the charcoal houses on the slopes around the creeks Chrábek and Sloupečník in the wooded area of the Drahany Highlands in the cadastral areas of Ráječko and Petrovice. These map documents from lidar data were used to identify new archaeological relics that have not yet been identified in the landscape. For some charcoal houses, microprobes for coal samples were carried out in places where...

Karel Láník (1886-1956), forgotten Brno architect

Pavla Cenková

Zprávy památkové péče 2016, 76(Příloha):113-121  

Brno architect Karel Láník (1886-1956) is undoubtedly a forgotten figure whom professional research has completely neglected. This is somewhat surprising, since for all his life he worked at the Brno municipal building office alongside the most famous architects of that time. For many years he was actively involved in the dynamic construction operations of interwar Brno as an architect, designer and builder. He never, however, had a private architectural office, which is also probably why until now he has been completely outside the interest of the professional community. The submitted article, whose material is based on a study on the estate and on...
