I used to know a lady from Brno. Her father owned the first electricity powered factory in all of Moravia ( pronounced Mo-rah-via). She lived through WW1 and WW2, losing 3 fortunes whenever the currency changed. So she was alive during the Austro-Hungarian empire. Her brothers were transported to work in Wehrmacht factories that provisioned the war munition requirements. Then emigrated to Australia in the 50s. The lady passed sometime in the 2000s. She spoke beautiful high German.
My great-grandfather immigrated to New York from Bohemia in 1912. It is interesting because his first Naturalization form from 1915 says his origin is "Bohemia, Austria" and on his second marriage naturalization from 1921 it says his origin is "The Czecho-Slovak" Republic.
Brno was a very German city up till the end of WW2. My grandma was born there in the 1930s, she lived through the forced removal of Germans at the end of the war and I think it was something of a traumatic experience, I have only got her to talk about it once and she still did not say that much... They had a German neighbour who gave her brother remedial classes and whom I understand they were really fond of. (We're Czech.)
That's the majority of the country and doesn't really narrow it down, though. 😅 The only region remaining is Silesia, and we've only got a tiny sliver of it, most of historical Silesia is in Poland.
My Great Great Grandmother was born in Velký Újezd in 1822 and migrated to Wisconsin. It states Velký Újezd Okres Melnik Central Bohemia Czechia. She was a Janda who married a Lastofka
My family from mother side is from Haná. Its all about family and love for the land. Part of the family own the old house that is in the family for more than 300 years and im sure it will stay in the family for many more years.
In fact, we are all educated, mostly with at least 13 years of schooling, working in industry and services. Farming and viticulture is done with heavy machinery and you will practically never meet a horse or a cow (unless you ride in a club). But most of us prefer life in the countryside, we go to the city to the office and in our spare time we cultivate gardens and vineyards. We rejoice in the heritage of our ancestors, in the fruits of the earth, in wine, music and songs. We wish all the people in the world only the best.
Also the sentence saying something like Olomouc gets its name from olomoucké tvarůžky is, of course, utter nonsense; it's the other way round, the cheeses are named after the city.
In a very, very roundabout way. It started out in the 15th century as the Unity of Brethren and the very first congregations were actually in Bohemia. But in the 16th century the church was supported and protected by major Moravian noblemen, so the centre of their activities moved to South Moravia. Then in the 17th century, as part of the events of the Thirty Year War, non-Catholic churches in the country were banned. But there still were people who secretly remained Protestant. Several of these then emigrated from Moravia to Herrnhut in Germany, where they renewed the church. So it's called Moravian because these people who founded the renewed Unity of Brethren were from Moravia, but the original-original roots of the church are Bohemian, and the renewed church was probably more German than Czech.
@@uganda_mn397 I suppose I do, though still as a layperson, not a full-blown historian. 😁 It's part of my church's history (ČCE, due to the complicated history of Czech Protestantism it draws on and unifies about four different historical strands of Protestantism). And, well, it's also generally interesting as history, and I'm interested in history. The history of Unity of Brethren is also quite crucial for the history of Czech language and culture in general, because in that era when they were supported by influential Moravian noblemen, they also had many influential scholars - Comenius is most famous, but there's also the Kralice Bible translation to which many of their scholars contributed and which helped preserve literary Czech language during the period of Habsburg germanisation. 🙂

My dad was Morivan. Brings tears to my eyes watching this 🥹 I miss him so much!

My fathers people immigrated from the Czech Republic, to the USA, specifically from the regions of Bohemia and Moravia .
We are the Champions
My great grandparents were from there too. Converting from catholic to protestant, back at that time. 1800s I think.

It's beautiful and it's the way life should be. It's not too primitive and it's not too civilized.

The river is Morava, not Moravia.
I was born in Brno😊❤
I am descended from the first wave of moravians that moved to Pennsylvania from Moravia in the 1800's I want to take my blood home.
Interesting, but the vignettes are so short one hardly learns anything from them. Rushed all the way through.
Whoever spoke those comments made sure to butcher almost every Czech word pronunciation.
Also the sentence saying something like Olomouc gets its name from olomoucké tvarůžky is, of course, utter nonsense; it's the other way round, the cheeses are named after the city.

Is this where the Moravian church comes from?
Yes
Technically
In a very, very roundabout way.

But in the 16th century the church was supported and protected by major Moravian noblemen, so the centre of their activities moved to South Moravia.

@@beth12svist you know a lot about this topic obviously

Good, but there is no need to put up your banner every 3 minutes. It becomes with all the adds on RUclips a bit tedious....Stephan
Sorry but the beer?????? Czech Republic It's famous for the great beer not wine
Incorrect. Bohemia is famous for the beer. Moravia is famous for the wine😉
Well, southern Moravia is wine central of Czechia but the rest of Moravia and especially Silesia is mainly Slivovice country.
@@afiiik1 Slivovica is typical rather for Moravian Wallachia, Moravian Slovakia, Horácko and Brno area, not for Silesia.
@@breznik1197 Let's drink slivovice everywhere, how about that
Czechia is much bigger and diverse place than 15-20 streets in Prague that typical herd tourist visits and then thinks he knows 'Czechia' ;)
Was that cow really alright?
I question that as well!
If the cow wasn't alright, then he couldn't get the wood out of the forest. He needs the cow and takes good care of it.
The cow was and is fine. She just wanted to lie down in the forest :-) maybe she's a bit lazy.-)
...blic's - there live Czechrepublicans and speak Czechrepublicanish.
This is great true!!!!
JUMBLED AND CHOPPED
It doesn't sound righ your The Czech republics.....
..." you funny boy or girl.
