Summary:Abstract der Zeitschrift: The ancestors of the Czech people accepted christianity under the influence of the Irish, Franconian (Bavarian) and Greek-Slavonic missions after the year 800. The territory of the Lands of the Czech Crown have belonged to the Western Church obedience from the beginning without interruptions.

The recatholization after the Thirty Years War was connected with the Habsburg dynasty.
