Summary/Abstract: Th e author presents in this scientific study based on archive documents of the České Budějovice bishop archives, deposited in the State District Archives in Třeboň, documents from the ecclesiastic life of the inhabitants of the Bohemian Forest in the years 1898-1938. Th ese documents show that the increase of the national tension between the Czech and German populations of the Bohemian Forest in the period observed did not avoid the church life either. Many a priest thus got caught, metaphorically said, between “two millstones” and was one of the first victims of national frictions.
