MOSTAR U NJEMAČKOJ PUTOPISNOJ KNJIŽEVNOSTI
MOSTAR IN GERMAN TRAVEL LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: The paper is about a picture and an image of the city of Mostar in the two-century old travel literature in German language that is a result of the authentic travels of the authors. Since the reasons for travelling to BH, and Mostar, were quite often with a special purpose that surpassed literary and artistic causes, the travel writers were of various professions and profiles. The mediated picture of Mostar will be analyzed and divided into certain components, such as people and ethnic communities, habits, city image, industry as well as some stereotypical presentation manners. Based on third-party information and data the analyzed travel books represent worthy historical and cultural documents. Otto Blau, Moritz Hoernes, Heinrich Renner, Robert Michel, Hermann Wendel, Juli Zeh and Elisabeth Gschaider will be analysed, among other authors.
