Z předměstí na venkov: nucené přesunutí královéhradeckého obyvatelstva v důsledku výstavby pevnosti ve druhé polovině 18. století

Abstract

The paper focuses on the case of the Hradec Králové suburban population, which was graduallyforced to move after the second half of the 1760s in order to free the area for the building of a bastionfortress. While the first generation of the evacuees (“vybouranci”), as this population was called,moved to new suburban settlements on the very outskirts of the town district and remained in contactwith the town community, though separated by the military zone, their descendants had convertedtheir settlements by the mid-19th century to separate municipalities and became new neighboursof the fortress town of Hradec Králové. The present study aims to map this complex process,the consequences of which have been strongly reflected in the urban, demographic and economicdevelopment of the town and its immediate surroundings.
