Ljutomer parish during the Great War

Fragments from the Archdiocesan Archives Maribor and news items

Abstract

Drawing on archival materials from the Archdiocesan Archives Maribor and especially on an overview of church records and news items from the Slovenian press, the contribution aims to shed new light on the developments that took place in the parish of Ljutomer during the First World War. These entailed not only a wave of refugees from the Littoral and local casualties but also the presence of military graves in Ljutomer cemeteries, which is a lesser-known fact today.
