Summary/Abstract: It’s common knowledge that Central Europe is multiethnic, multinational and multilanguage region. This culturally rich region is a part of Europe — the greater unity. The concept of Central Europe is interpreted not only in geographical context, but especially in cultural, historical and political context. The paper is an attempt to analyse centraleuropean cultural circle in retrospective way. It’s also an attempt to prove that Central Europe is cultural unity, although all differences.
