Record on Residence Conditions of German and Slovene Higher Middle Classes in Ljubljana at the Beginning of the Century (Example of Villadom in Capuchin Suburb of Ljubljana)

Abstract

The contribution is based on the data of the archives, kept by the Historical Archives Ljubljana. The author tries to present some essential features of the daily residence of higher middle classes on the example of the villadom, which grew up in the Ljubljana Capuchin suburb, especially after the destructive earthquake in Ljubljana in 1895. At researching the history of residence conditions the appurtenance to different social starta was decisive, whereas the ethnic adherence (a German or a Slovene) has never played any special role at studying this history.
