THE QUART PETRIČ IN SREBRENICA IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The quart Petrič is one of the oldest quarts in Srebrenica, The very name of the quart, many toponyms in and around the quart, archeological findings, prove that the area of the quart was inhabited even before the arrival of the Ottomans in Bosnia. It is located at the very south of Srebrenica in the valley of the Bijela River or the Čičevačka River. On cenutries-long urban tradition of the quart, as one of the urban parts of Srebrenica, witness road communicatuons, locations of houses, number of residents, the quart’s mosque, several mills and other industrial objects, as well as complex structure of vocations of the residents from farmers, cratfsmen and imams (lit. Islamic priests). In the text we interpret basics, geographic and urban, demographic, ownership, geneaological and other social and cultural facts from the past of the quart, first and foremost those that refer to the second half of the 19th century. The main part of the text deals with a detailed overview of the quart Petrič from 1894. The ownership of land and houses, families, public facilities, toponyms from the end of the 19th century are presented and analysed. The sources of the Austro-Hungarian provenance, the Land Registry books and cadastral plans were used for the research.
