MIGRAČNÍ ZKUŠENOST VÍDEŇSKÝCH ČECHŮ / Migration experience of the Viennese Czechs

The article addresses the migration experience of Viennese Czechs as one of the attributes of the ethnic/national identity of this minority. The phenomenon of “Czech” has always belonged to Vienna, and historical and scientific sources refer to the Czechs as the oldest ethnic minority in the city. The first Czech people migrated to Vienna in the Middle Ages with a view to obtaining better jobs. This article focuses on the individual waves of emigration through which the Czech people moved to this Austrian metropolis. The phenomenon of migration is seen as one of the important aspects that influenced the integrity of this collective in Vienna in the context of both time and the different biographical narratives of individuals.
