Summary/Abstract: The desintegration of the socialist states offered the chance to the political leaders to redefine the identity of their own nations. Even if the European Union, a creation of the occidental cultural space, presented the first option, a part of the leaders of central european states took very seriously the rebuilt of economical and cultural space of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Even after the desinteragtion of this political and economical system, the central european world continued to refer to the rules that defined it. Despite the attempts of the communist regime to rewrite history of these nations, Mitteleurope remained a mark for the people of these lands and even became a viable option in a society that rediscovered their multicultural past.
