SPISAK VLASNIKA KUĆA ČETVRTI CARINA U MOSTARU IZ 1881. GODINE
LIST OF HOUSE OWNERS IN QUART CARINA IN MOSTAR IN 1881.

Summary/Abstract: In 1881, just two summers after the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the new government carried out a geodetic survey of the city of Mostar. As part of the creation of the cadastre, a list of the owners of the housing fund was also compiled, which is kept in the Austrian State Archives. The census was conducted before the construction of larger buildings in the Western European style began in Mostar, so it provides a precise picture of the residential and ownership structure at the end of the Ottoman era with the intact Oriental-Islamic physiognomy of the city. Based on the list of houses in the then residential part of Mostar, the old city district of Carina, we were able to determine the social, social, and confessional affiliation of the owners and tenants of the houses. Many of the listed owners are personalities who were active participants in major political events at the end of the Ottoman and the beginning of the Austro-Hungarian administration in our country. In addition to other things, we also learned that at the time of the creation of the List, there were 497 houses with 398 owners at the Mostar Customs, of which about three quarters were Muslims, and one quarter were Orthodox. This historical source is also a useful contribution for genealogical research of Mostar families.
