Abstract

Gradišćanski Hrvati jedna su od najstarijih manjina u Europi, a njihovo postojanje na tlu
Gradišća seže u 16. stoljeće. Od tada su u novoj sredini prošli težak put, boreći se konstantno za
očuvanje svoga identiteta i kulture. Ovaj diplomski rad prvotno će prikazati njihov društveni,
kulturni i jezični razvoj koji je kroz povijest oblikovao njihov današnji identitet. Taj identitet izraz
je njihove osobitosti koja ga određuje i naspram ostalih naroda čini jedinstvenim. Oni su svoj
identitet u novoj domovini gradili na temelju nacionalne svijesti o svom podrijetlu, koju su tijekom
stoljeća, usprkos raznim neprilikama, uspjeli očuvati. Ovaj rad nastojat će barem djelomično
prikazati njihov identitet kroz povijest i prije svega podsjetiti da su gradišćanski Hrvati još i danas
živi spomenik snažnih austrijsko-hrvatskih državnih veza koje treba njegovati.

Abstract (english)

Burgenland Croats are one of the oldest minorities in Europe and their presence on the
territory of Burgenland dates back to the 16th century. Since then, in their new environment, they
were constantly fighting to preserve their identity and culture. This thesis will initially show their
social, cultural and language development that has historically shaped their present identity. This
identity is an expression of their particularities that it determines and makes it unique against other
nations. In their new country they have built an identity based on national awareness of their own
origins, which they managed to preserve over the centuries in spite of various adversieties. This
paper will at least partially attempt to show their identity through history and above all remind that
the Burgenland Croats are still a live monument of strong Austrian-Croatian national bonds.
