Abstract

The article deals with the activities of Jure Hrašovec during his Celje period under the Habsburg Monarchy. The main part of the study is devoted to the political developments in Slovenia during the relevant period, namely the movement to abolish the Styrian National Party and to establish an all-Slovenian Liberal Party. It presents the correspondence between Slovene liberals, especially those from Styria, including the views and activities of Jure Hrašovec. The article also examines the political situation in Celje at the turn of the century, when Hrašovec moved to Celje, and concludes with the year 1921, when, as a prominent Celje lawyer and one of the leading representatives of the liberal national movement in the city, he became the first Slovenian mayor.
