Od „jara národů“ po pád Berlínské zdi
From the ‘Springtime of Nations’ to the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Summary/Abstract: Brandes, Detlef, Dušan Kovač, and Jiři Pešek (eds). Wendepunkte in den Beziehungen zwischen Deutschen, Tschechen und Slowaken 1848–1989. Essen: Klartext, 2007, 336 pp. This is a review of the fourteenth volume in the series ‘Veroffentlichungen der Deutsch-Tschechischen und Deutsch-Slowakischen Historikerkommission / Publikace Německo-česke a německo-slovenske komise historiků. In seventeen contributions this particular volume charts out the turning-points in relations amongst the Czechs, Germans, and Slovaks in the course of the 140 years from the Year of Revolutions, 1848, to another year of revolutions, 1989. The reviewer praises the ability of the historians, who come from the three nations under discussion, to write history together and to hold up mirrors of interpretation for each other. They have, he states, thereby created a publication that is in step with current trends in European historiography.
