V príspevku se ukvarjamo z rekonstrukcijo doslejpopolnoma neraziskane življenjskepoti slikarja Eduarda Linda, rojenega v Hamburgu. V Maribor je prišel ob koncu leta 1855, se v mestu naselil ter v ...njem živel in delal do smrti leta 1904. Med prva naročila v Mariboru naj bi sodilaposlikava stropa mariborske kadetnice, zgrajene v letih 1853-1856. Lind seje v Mariboru vključil v evangeličansko skupnost in bil tudi član prezbiterija. Kot razberemo iz pisnih virov, je bil v Mariboru priljubljen meščan in cenjen slikar. Portretiral je številne meščanke in meščane in naslikal oljno sliko Križanega, kije bila leta 1869 nameščena v novozgrajeno evangeličansko cerkev. Lind je umrl v popolni revščini in bil pokopan na stroške evangeličanske skupnosti.

The estimation of the economic effects of cultural events is a topic that has stirred numerous debates in cultural economics. Although economic impact studies and contingent valuation have been the ...most frequently used methods, both suffer from numerous problems. In this article, we use ex-post econometric verification as a new and promising method in cultural economics in the estimation of the economic effects of cultural events and apply it to the estimation of the effects of the 2012 European Capital of Culture Maribor on tourism and employment. This enables us to compare results from economic impact and ex-post econometric verification studies to find significant differences in particular in terms of new employment. We determine the net effects on new tourism and find that they were mainly present in Maribor, the holder of the project, and not in the other five partner cities. We conclude by reflecting on the state of the art of the studies of economic effects of cultural events in cultural economics and their relevance for the study of cultural tourism.

The Maribor Synagogue is one of the most important preserved medieval synagogues in Central Europe. Since undergoing renovation and partial reconstruction from 1992–1999, the facility has served as a ...cultural centre. The renovation, which was supervised by the ZVKDS (Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia), proved to be much more demanding than was originally foreseen. While the outcome of the renovation has not been scrutinised in professional literature, its architectural shell and elements have served as a reference point for the (visual) reconstruction attempts of similar monuments abroad. However, the renovation itself has left numerous unanswered questions, especially in regard to the building phases during the Jewish and later Christian use of the building. The article examines the history of the monument's documentation and preservation in the 20th century in light of recent progress in medieval synagogue research. Owing to the controversial interpretations of certain architectural elements and the failure to take archaeological research into account, the entire reconstruction is called into question.
Maribor Synagogue is one of the few preserved medieval synagogues in Central Europe. The renovation of the building between 1992 and 1999, undertaken by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural ...Heritage of Slovenia, proved to be much more demanding than originally foreseen. Its architectural shell and architectural elements have served as a reference point for the (visual) reconstruction of related monuments in the wider region. However, the renovation itself has left numerous unanswered questions, especially in regard to the building phases during the Jewish and later Christian use of the building. The present article is the first scientific publication to thoroughly examine the medieval building phases, based on the findings of archaeological research and investigation of the documented and preserved architectural elements. Ground plans are attached for the initial two building phases, related to the archeological charts. The last phase corresponds to the reconstructed version of the synagogue, but convincing evidence relating to its appearance is missing. Although it is practically impossible to provide an entirely accurate building history based on the archival, oral and material evidence so far available, a significant step toward its general comprehension is made.
The important role of bl. Anton Martin Slomšek (1800–1862) in the initial ecumenical works in Central Europe is relatively well researched. But there is practically no research on his attitude ...towards Judaism. With this research, we discover his theoretical relationship to Jews and their biblical traditions by reviewing his sermons and pastoral texts, where he largely draws from the Bible. From his interpretations of passages of the word of God, it is possible to deduce his attitude. Since in many pastoral views and attitudes he practically »overtakes« the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, we find that his theological-pastoral foreboding was similarly advanced in this area. In essential lines, it coincides with the ideas expressed for the universal Church by the Second Vatican Council in its statement Nostra aetate (1965). We also looked for traces of possible Slomšek’s direct personal contacts with Jews, since at the introduction of the diocesan seat in Maribor (1859) there were also a few Jews, but for now historically traces of such contacts could not be found.
This article summarises the pertinent facts and analyses the outcomes of the 2012-2013 protests, in particular those in Maribor, with the aim of arguing that an acute crisis of representation was the ...principal reason for the popular discontent which was only exacerbated by the economic crisis, otherwise identified as the crucial context of the protests. Despite a post-protest relapse into neoliberal depoliticisation, a subsequent redefinition of post-democratic citizenship has emerged via innovative forms of direct action. The methodologies used to create this text were partly descriptive and critical analytical, and partly militant research which integrates scientific research with civic political activities.
Članek obravnava delovanje mariborskega mestnega sveta v obdobju od leta 1935 do 1941, ko je mestu kot župan načeloval dr. Alojzij Juvan. Mesto je v tem času zaznamovala gospodarska kriza, zaradi ...katere je bilo mesto primorano veliko pozornosti nameniti socialnemu skrbstvu in reševanju bivanjskih težav prebivalcev mesta. Posledično je bila s tem povezana tudi gradbena dejavnost mestne občine, ki je obsegala gradnjo zasilnih stanovanj za ljudi, živeče v barakah in vagonih, ter prodajo oz. nakup zemljišč za zasebne gradnje. Razvoju mesta sta morali slediti tudi komunalna izgradnja in izgradnja novih stavb za potrebe mesta.
Summary
The author explores and explains the role of the director of Maribor General Hospital in the first period after Second World War. The period was problematic on account of the difficult ...economic situation and changes in the political system. On one hand the hospital suffered relatively large damage due to bombing attacks during the war and on the other it had to face numerous staffing problems, especially with a lack of physicians and trained nursing staff (from 1948 an executive order entered into force forbidding the nursing nuns from performing nursing care in hospitals). The change in the political system required the management of the hospital to be taken over by an individual who enjoyed the political, professional and economic trust of the then authorities. Based on his engagement during the Second World War, the director, Zmago Slokan, represented a form of guarantee for the political system of that time, which nevertheless wanted the quality-based, professional and economic progress of the hospital. Using his personal characteristics, professional medical and economic knowledge as well as political experience, he was able to manage different tendencies to continue the quality-based progress of the institution. Thus, he set a proper foundation for its development in the periods that followed, in the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia as well as in the independent Republic of Slovenia (after 1991). The author discusses the role of the director in the hospital’s progress chronologically.
