Summary/Abstract: A number of specific characteristics of the town of Cieszyn are inherently related to its history. Since 1920, Cieszyn has been divided by a state border along the Olza river (except for the war time of 1938-1945).

Therefore, the social cognitive image of Cieszyn comprises those components of its spatial structure too
