The Fight Over a Roof over One’s Head: Housing Policy in Ostrava Coal Mining Companies and the Vítkovice Mining and Iron Corporation (1939–1945)

Original language description

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the Ostrava industrial agglomeration served as a domain of experimentation for Central European industrialisation and a laboratory for its social transformations. This was the case even during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, when thanks to its industrial plants and Aryanised enterprises it became an attractive destination for German colonisers as well as a refuge for individuals expelled from occupied territories and seeking in Ostrava’s industrial sector an alternative to forced labour in Germany. The influx of new residents posed a challenge for Ostrava’s housing resources, which were dominated by the extensive housing stock of industrial plants. The persistent expansion of housing continued even after a ban on construction was imposed on the Protectorate (1941). Despite restrictive administrative measures in the construction sector, numerous company housing projects intended primarily for working- class employees were realised in Ostrava.
