KC - 2 - to the German area. For it belongs essentially only to the later Middle Ages. A look at the map, on the other hand, shows the from the beginning given ne uartaveis puie German Reich beyond this space and its inhabitants politically can possess; to secure the German-German habitat after Östen, resp. southeast this is par excellence basic law. According to this principle also kings and emperors of the empire acted. From Charlemagne to the year l866, a permanent plitic following relationship of the Czech Volkes and its leading miners, or a permanent connection of the countries of Bohemia and Moravia in some form to the empire, was present. The tributary ratio of the first half of the year is followed by the marriage law and then by other constitutional ties in the Reichsverband. The difficulties facing an objective historical representation lie in the fact that Bohemian historiography is largely influenced by the works of the Czech historian Franz Palacky. He was at the same time, or better in the first place, a politician and his historical works are strongly influenced by his political interests and Czech dreams. His "scientifically hardened" claims were often overstated by German historiography.
