Das historische kollektive Bewusstsein hat das Bild des Siegers von Wien von 1683, Jan Sobieski, je nach Raum und Zeit unterschiedlich geformt, was Vergleiche der Perspektiven notwendig macht.


This volume is based on the historiographical assumption that Jan Sobieski does not need to be made present in Vienna, as he has a fixed, albeit constantly changing place in the history of this city and its inhabitants. Rather, the aim is to expand the knowledge about him and to broaden the perspective in terms of seeing him as more than just the hero of one day and one military event. Rather, the aim is to show the background and context of his activities as an extremely interesting, unusual person and as a ruler firmly anchored in his time. In this sense, Sobieski is analysed as a ‘lieu de memoire’, a border-crossing and glimpse-exchanging place of remembrance.
