English summary: Bohemia, Moravia, and Moravian Silesia have a chequered history. The areas were originally settled by Celtic-Germanic peoples. The Slavs migrated into the region in the early Middle Ages, and the regions soon became part of Christian Europe. They rose to become one of the dominant powers in central Europe in the fourteenth century under the rule of the native Premyslids dynasty and Luxembourg dynasty. Following initial conflicts, they began to cooperate closely with their larger neighbour, the Holy Roman Empire – and a Bohemian king, Charles IV, eventually rose to wear the imperial crown. In the fifteenth century, it was again Bohemia that ushered in the age of the Reformation in Europe with the Defenestration of Prague. In an entertaining way backed up with solid research, Peter Hilsch guides the reader through the exciting and eventful history of Bohemia and Moravia. German description: Bohmen, Mahren und Mahrisch Schlesien konnen auf eine wechselhafte Geschichte zuruckblicken. Ursprunglich keltisch-germanisches Siedlungsgebiet, wanderten im Fruhmittelalter die Slawen ein. Schon bald wurden die Lander Teil des christlichen Europas. Zu einer der bestimmenden Machte Mitteleuropas stiegen sie im 14. Jahrhundert unter der Herrschaft der einheimischen Przemysliden und der Luxemburger auf: Nach anfanglichen Konflikten kam es mit dem groaen Nachbarn, dem romisch-deutschen Reich, zu einer engen Zusammenarbeit – und mit Karl IV. trug schliealich ein bohmischer Konig die Kaiserkrone. Im 15. Jahrhundert war es wiederum Bohmen, das mit dem Prager Fenstersturz das europaische Zeitalter der Reformation einlautete. Kurzweilig und fundiert fuhrt Peter Hilsch den Leser durch die spannende und wechselhafte Geschichte Bohmens und Mahrens.
