Religious Landscape in Liberec: the Post-Socialist City in the Sudetenland

Original language description

The submission is focused on the religious-geographical research of the city of Liberec, the fifth most populous city in the Czech Republic, a country known as one of the most secularized in the world. Liberec, predominantly German city Reichenberg before 1945, is located in the historical border region called Sudetenland. The main aim of the paper is the analysis of the trends in the religious landscape of Liberec primarily after the fall of communism in the country. However, the expulsion of the German population after the Second World War and the arrival of Czech and Slovak immigrants with its wider context cannot be overlooked. Crucial actual trends in Liberec are secularization of people and landscape, sacralization of the landscape as well as diversification of religious institutions and communities. The paper outlines the main reasons and consequences. The methodology is based on the analysis of the data from the censuses run by the Czech Statistical Office and the field research in the city of Liberec. The field research was focused on the identification and localization of sacred objects and religious activities. It was based on observation and information from websites or advertisements. The study attempts to summarize actual and historical information about religious life in Liberec spaces contains table and map additions.
