Summary/Abstract: The document is dedicated to Koranda congregation in Pilsen. Its history starts at the very beginning of the 20th century. The document focuses especially on the last sixty years of the congregation’s activities, but it also contains a short description of the first fifty years of its history. The problem of evangelization of the western Bohemia and Pilsen itself is described in the document, as well as the historical development during the First Republic, World War II and the communist era. The document is based on the statements of the witnesses because there are only a few documents which focused on the last sixty years of Koranda congregation’s history.
