Lov i plemstvo u Hrvatskoj i Slavoniji
Hunting and Nobility in Croatia and Slavonia

Summary/Abstract: Hunting in Croatia in Nineteenth and Twentieth century was the regular entertainment of the social and political elite, carefully kept far from the public eyes. It was a local custom borrowed from the German countries. Croatia was covered with large forest areas which served as a great hunting field for aristocrats from Vienna court and political notables. The protection of aristocratic rights was the reason of complicated and severe process of forests distribution between nobles and former villains continuing through the agrarian reform. Both sides have remembered the past. Issue of Hunting and nobility is poorly explored because of radical destruction of noble archives and the lack of press, especially if you write on the basis of existing literature. But some basic tendencies can be identified and some conclusions can be exported from it.
