After many years of search, the only surviving copy of a collection of sermons with a chronicle (965– 1618), which was printed and published in Leipzig in 1619 by Wolfgang Silber, the parson from Greiffenberg, Lower Silesia, was discovered in 2016, within the international programme “The Silesian Cultural Heritage.” The first part of the article includes information on the life and creation of the sermon’s author and presents the historical and cultural background of the book, with references to the municipality and the church.

Flurnamen als Gedächtnisformationen. Ein Beitrag zur Erforschung des kollektiven Gedächtnisses aus linguistischer Perspektive
2018

This interpretation allows them to identify and individualize the places in social interactions, and it is kept in the collective memory of a particular community for either a longer or a shorter period of time. The linguistic analysis of the motivation for naming provides access to interpretations stored in fields names. In this case study the analysis has been carried out on the basis of the field names in Gryfów Śląski / Greiffenberg in Schlesien.

2020
Taken out of Silesia at the end of World War II and stored in West Germany, the chest of the Greiffenberg Merchant Confraternity contains books and documents from almost 200 years of the Merchant Confraternity’s activity. These texts form the basis for research into the history of the German language in Silesia, in particular in the field of text linguistics. This paper presents historical, economic, social and cultural conditions that had an impact on the production of these texts and presents the results of the diachronic analysis of “receipt report” as text sub-genre, carried out on the “Book of Receipt Reports” from 1756-1944.
