Industrial Heritage. Glassmaking in Bor-Šenov Area.

Original language description

The present publication is focused primarily on buildings and technological installations related to glassmaking. The process of glass production and finishing includes various operations ranging from the production of materials to glassworks halls and finishing works, some incorporating several finishing techniques, some only one of them. Regionally, the work is delimited by the Bor – Šenov glassmaking area, one of the most important regions in this branch nationwide. It is situated in northern Bohemia near the towns of Nový Bor, Kamenický Šenov, Česká Kamenice and Chřibská in the territory of the present-day Česká Lípa District (Liberec Region) and Děčín District (Ústí Region). In terms of time, the work focuses above all on the period between the second half of the 18th century and the middle of the 20th century, which means the proto-industrial and industrial production. The glass industry has an important position in the Bor – Šenov area to this day. Despite partial losses, the extant glassworks remain an integral part of the local extraordinarily attractive landscape, with large finishing operations or small home workshops scattered in its towns and villages, continually following in centuries-long traditions. The discussed themes are illustrated by maps, schemes, reproductions of historical plan documentation, contemporary and present-day photographs. The most important complexes are presented also using synoptic drawing reconstructions that depict the situation approximately as of 1945, i.e. not yet disturbed by modern adaptations, additions and demolitions.
