Aeda des St bom Neldsprotehice la boginen tnd lageen. b -2- 3. The area of the Jglauer Sprachinsel and its southern extension to the Reich border Datschitz-Jamnitz, as• the area which is subject to a barge position opposite the Land of Höhmen. 4. The border area from Moravian Ostrava down to the city of Göding, which also by creating German bases. 5. The northern border of Moravia, which is grouped around the cities of Leipnik and Moravian Weißkirchen, can be followed in detail by the areas of interest - I. The Brünn - Olmütz bridge. It has been suggested from many sides, especially in Barteikreisen, that the bridge on the Brno-Zwittau line should be bridged, because on this line the route between the border of the Reich in the north and south is the shortest, and this line is also chosen for the Reichsautobahn, the most important link in Moravia between North and South in the future. I would nevertheless consider the choice of the area as a bridge to be wrong. It would not only leave aside the popularly moderately disparate Wischauer language island as well as the city of Olmütz with its great traditions as the leading German city in Moravia and its still existing strong popular and cultural significance. For the same reason, it would also be necessary to refuse to allow the bridge to be determined by the course of the planned Oder-Danube canal, and to lead it approximately north of the town of Wischau towards Prerau and then further via Leipnik - Moravian White Kirbhen to the Moravian gate. The Brückgen area Brno - Olmütz comprises the following parts: a) the south ven Brno. A focal point of Germanism in Brno has always been located, except in the city centre, in the southern suburbs of Kumrowitz, Ober-Gerspitze, Unter-Gerspitz, Nennowitz and Preisitz.
