Abstract

The article describes everyday-life in guest-houses around Jesenice between the end of the 19th century and the start of the Second World War. It features guest-houses as important centres of social life, as places for meeting people, having fun and relaxing after a tiring day, as well as places of tippling and “immorality”. The clientele of a particular guest-house provided a good reflection of the national and political divisions in Jesenice. The division of guest-houses into the more eminent ones, on the one hand, and those for the “commoners”, on the other, is also indicative of the social differences in this industrial settlement.
