Guss aus Troppau

La mia storia commincia in una stazione ferroviaria del 1850 in Opava/Troppau, Slesia

After the majority of Silesia was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia during the War of the Austrian Succession after 1740, the remaining Silesian territory still under the control of the Habsburg Monarchy became known as Austrian Silesia with its capital in Troppau (1742–1918). The Congress of Troppau took place here in 1820. dove gli impiegati stanno costruendo la parte nordica della ferrovia Nord di Ferdinando. Possiamo vedere trenini tirati di cavallo e trenini con musso lungo che buttano tanto fumo in aria. Non si trasportano ancora persone.Qui lavora Franz un ragazzo svelto sempre interessato delle novità techniche
Grandi eventi nella sua vita sono le visite a Vienna e a Cracovia e Wroclaw. Cosi possiamo dare uno sguardo sul modo di vita in Vienna e Cracovia dell'ottocento. Alcuni nonni si ricordano dal Congresso di Troppau di Metternick , alcuni ne parlano male altri bene. Ci si incontrano tante persone di tante nazioni dalla città
Most of Silesia was conquered by Prussia in 1742, later becoming part of the German Empire and German Reich up to 1945. After World War I (1918) the easternmost part of this region was awarded to Poland by the victorious Allies after rebellions by Silesian Polish people and a plebiscite. After World War II (1945) the bulk of Silesia was transferred to Polish jurisdiction and become legally and politically part of Poland. Meanwhile the remaining small parts of Silesia mostly went to Czechoslovakia after World War I, and are now in the Czech Republic
After the expulsion of the Germans from Silesia, German Silesian culture and language nearly died out when most of Silesia became part of Poland in 1945. After World War II, Polish authorities banned the use of the German language altogether

Il congresso di Troppau si tenne tra il 23 ottobre e il 17 dicembre 1820 a Troppau.
Fu convocato da Metternich, che riunì le potenze della Santa Alleanza, in seguito ai moti insurrezionali napoletani avvenuti nel luglio dello stesso anno. Al congresso fu ribadito da Austria, Prussia e Russia il principio dell'intervento armato per ricondurre uno stato entro l' alleanza. Nella penisola italiana ciò venne realizzato dall'esercito austriaco.

Johann Palisa (Troppau, 6 dicembre 1848 – 2 maggio 1925) è stato un astronomo austriaco.
All'epoca della sua nascita Troppau si trovava nella regione austriaca della Slesia, oggi è nel territorio della Repubblica Ceca. Nell'arco della sua carriera scoprì ben 122 asteroidi, da 136 Austria, nel 1874, fino a 1073 Gellivara, nel 1923; le scoperte principali furono certamente quelle di Hilda, Cleopatra, Ida, Matilde, Bamberga e Albert (un asteroide Amor).
L'asteroide 914 Palisana è stato così battezzato in suo onore.

King Frederick II of Prussia conquered most of Silesia from Austria in 1740 during the Silesian Wars; Prussian control was confirmed in the Peace of Breslau in 1742. During the Prussian rule the ethnic structure of the city began to change. In the early 20th century the amount of Polish and bilingual citizens of Opole, according to the official German statistics, varied from 25 to 31%.^[7] From 1816–1945 Opole was the capital of Regierungsbezirk Oppeln within Prussia. The city became part of the German Empire during the unification of Germany in 1871.

The Silesian Uprisings (German: Aufstände in Oberschlesien; Polish: Powstania śląskie) were a series of three armed uprisings of the Poles and Polish Silesians of Upper Silesia, from 1919–1921, against German rule; the resistance hoped to break away from Germany in order to join the Second Polish Republic, which had been established in the wake of World War I. In the latter-day history of Poland after World War II, the insurrections were celebrated as centrepieces of national pride.

Contemporary Moravian-Silesian cuisine has been influenced in recent history mainly by the former empire of Austria-Hungary. Jewish, German, Hungarian and Polish cuisine have left behind a number of influences and ingredients which over time people have grown to like. Among typical examples are Wiener Schnitzel and Hungarian Goulash, which have both found their second home in our country, to the extent of which all Czechs, Moravians and Silesians consider it an integral part of their diet.
