2 - 8 - Maxdorf-Austerlitz along the planned motorway Prague - Brno - Zlin. From Austerlitz the line has its connection to the Jglauer Sprachinsel. In the literature it is claimed that in earlier times the Wischauer Sprachinsel had a far greater extent than today, that it had in particular extended to the south to Austerlitz and that the area had also been as far as Brno German settlement area. There is much to be said about the probability of these assumptions. It will be an appreciative task of science to address these questions. In any case, it will be very valuable for the practical German-language work in this area to know to what extent German blood and German traditions exist under the Czech peasantry and to which extent German traditions have been preserved. The further bridge from Wischau to the northeast to Proßnitz leads through purely Czech areas. It leans to the north-west at the troop training area and would be bounded in the southeast by a line that goes about Eiwan vitz and Waischowitz (German possession of the Baron Globus). To the north of Proßnitz the bridge then reaches the Olmützer Sprachinsel, located south of the town limits of Olomouc, the German municipalities of Nebotein, Nettweis, Schnobolin, Gießhübel and Nimlau. It is an area that is relatively densely populated due to the fertility of the soil. Despite the almost purely Czech population, German-speaking work will also be able to work in this area with the prospect of success. It is to be expected that the Czech people of the Hanaks, who are settled here, will gain ever stronger support for Germanism and gradually assimilate its racially valuable components to a more industrious and peaceful people and to a far more positive attitude towards Germanism than the pure Czechs. Assimilation will take place the faster the more successful it will be to make German settlers settle in this area in greater numbers as soon as possible. All possibilities for this must be fully exploited after the war. Reldjopcolenice la bonmen and Hnheen, Ein
